The weird thing about English is you can done make valid points not using no grammar correct.
If you have 23 minutes and 39 seconds this is another good posting by happyΒ³ .

I think you can do that in most languages… maybe all.

Tourists do it all the time… English speakers in other languages, foreigners in English.

They all sound wrong to a native speaker, but the words get the point across.

Is it a double Bunday, or were they having a 2-buns-for-1 special?

Long ago on Ballard Street i posted some pictures of standard poodles that had been clipped and dyed into facsimiles of other animals… a lion, a tiger… a camel…. IIRC there was even a bird or two.

I didn’t know it had gone this far!

Standard poodles still seem to be the breed of choice… I guess cos their dense, curly fur can be more readily clipped into different shapes… and some are quite accustomed to grooming.sessions. 🐩

They’re like canine topiary trees.
Poor doggies….

Miss Millie High Maintenance was a little poodle in the Ballard Street strip… It sounds like a name we gave her, but it was actually Van Amerongen himself.

She was in several strips, and then a lot of forum stories. All the dogs were after her, but of course Scooter won.

….

The photos I posted were of real dogs… Standard poodles, which are a lot bigger than Miss Millie.

I have to see if I have them on my tablet. I’m supposed to have all my pictures, saved on Google drive, but it doesn’t always work.

The ones in your video are more fantastical.

Yes but she imagines his motivations… Unless she has sources I don’t know about.

A lot of her descriptions are not about the art… not about his colors, his brushstrokes, the composition… but about what she thinks he’s saying with it.

I’m actually interested in that other stuff.
And in his quirky personality, and in what he said, himself, about his paintings.

For instance I know his wife was not just his model, but his only model… And they had a very strange relationship.

She’s good but I just think a bit overreaching…

I know it’s only a small detail, but I noticed when she said the first man she described in “Nighthawks” was hunched over his coffee cup hanging on as though it were his lifeline…
which gives an emotional picture.

But he’s neither hunched over nor touching his cup. It’s at his elbow.

Funny… I had to post this THREE times, prior to this time, because my @$&! autocorrect kept changing either or both “doo”s to “door”.

The first time, I looked up after posting, and it said “door to door”.
Then “door de doo”… then… etc..

Oh well, 4th time’s a charm, right?

When that happens, do you simply turn off autocorrect? You’re erudite enough that you probably don’t need it anyway.

I’ve turned it off on both tablets I use, and my phone, and my previous phones, and my ancient tablet that barely works…

But it doesn’t stop!

I didn’t know I could do that on my first phone, and it tried to “correct” everything… usually incorrectly.

It’s a bit more subtle after years of being turned off on each new device… which isn’t many cos I keep them longer than most people do.

It used to change things and then show me suggestions, but now it usually doesn’t bother to alert me to its shenanigans.

I hit submit, or post comment… and find that it’s decided, all on it’s own, what I must have meant to say.

That person didn’t finish the rule as I was taught it…

“I before E, except after C, and when sounding like A, as in neighbor and weigh.”

But “feisty” and “weird” are still exceptions, along with “heist”…. and I’m sure others.

In a different way, so are “fiery” and “hierarchy.”

Take that autocorrect! (She said hopefully, before finding out what it does.)

I think they all do it.

I was happier with my local provider than the people I knew on ATT… till the service declined when the lines they rented from ATT got too old, at the same time they got more popular than their service staff could handle.

Now I’m on T-Mobile… but at least so far they haven’t outsourced customer service.

Despite looking like Disney’s Flotsam and Jetsam, these two eels showcase the wide color variability of the species Gymnothorax genus of moray eels. These Gymnothorax berndti and Gymnothorax elegant were filmed by ROV Hercules while exploring the summit of Ahyi Seamount, between Maug and Uracus in the Northern Mariana Islands. Living together as “roommates” as the team jokes, is not uncommon for morays, which are known to even hunt cooperatively on the reef with groupers. https://youtu.be/Ls6lDmoWtR4?si=WbXaYbdPBTLcPT_U

No no…. sorry, but you have it wrong.

When it comes to puns, being good is posting them.

Repressing puns is very bad…. It’s not only anti-social, but can lead to anxiety, ulcers, and other physical manifestations of distress.

For your own sake, please don’t do that again.

Top level. It takes 20 top-level comments to go over the edge.

It’s odd, but replies have no effect…. unless there’s some high number of them that would, but we’ve never hit it, or I just didn’t noticeπŸ™„.

I usually keep it under my hat, cos I like everything on one page, for ease of re-reading.
