Look and Feel

Although the spelling alright is more than a century and a half old, some critics have insisted alright is all wrong. Nevertheless, it has its defenders and its users, who perhaps have been influenced by analogy with altogether and already. Alright is less common than all right but is frequently found in informal writing and fictional dialogue.

Yeah, largely because journalists will quote people's actual conversations, regardless of the grammar used...the older reporters would often do [sic] afterwards to indicate they knew what was correct, even if the people they were quoting didn't. :-/

That may have influenced the fictional dialogue...

Oh, the old you only know what your senses tell you and they can be fooled thing eh? Yup, there are a lot of figments of my imagination that are pushing their existence out there.

That would imply or infer, that you are not real either or delusional as you have conversation with all of us.

(Don't hate me because the voices in my head only talk to me!!!)

 

[Breanna]

LOL Good point

 

[Balcerak]

I'm as real as you are ttobey! Or am I delusional?

 

[SolarFaire]

Really unreal.

Well it is October and the mini ROAD TRIPS are being finalized. If you have ideas or thoughts for them, please feel free to give your input!!!

 

[Balcerak]

I hate that I'm listed as a 'new member' sheesh! Can't they take data from the old forum? Hi Cyrrena! I watch some folks online who do cruises. That has some info. Or maybe we could do planet hopping? Or zip to another galaxy? Come up with some new alien species to talk to?

 

[Cyrrena]

HiHo!!!! The first mini ROAD TRIP is nearly upon us. I have scheduled things for 10/17/24 which is a week tomorrow, through 10/20/24 check out of the resort is 10/21/24 at noon. If there is enough interest for this mini, activities will begin Thursday night and the stop is San Antonio, TX. I will be monitoring here to gauge interest.

Does it count if we've been there and done that?

 

[Breanna]

I'll go although I don't know how socially active I'll be. Got a lot of depressing stuff going on right now.

 

[ttobey]

Here, this will cheer you up!
What happened to the canary in the brothel?

 

[ttobey]

He got chirpies!

The canary flew over to the guard dog and played music for the ladies while they worked. Since they now had a woofer and a tweeter.

Behold... the best mount Ttobey has ever made!!!! And he even let me stack it on his head for a picture.

We need a discord channel for this group. I'd like reminders of when any trips are being taken
