Seriously again. My mother served in the Navy during World War II. Her father had died, she was one of four sisters, all unmarried, and was determined her family be represented in the war effort even though there were no men. She actually had to fight to join the service, which is another story. She had barely been out of her own neighborhood. A lesson she learned and passed on is do not ignore injustice. Because a small injustice if ignored can become a big one and Nazism the ultimate injustice. Don't be afraid to be the only one speaking up. Don't say it doesn't affect me, I'm not Black or gay, I am OK, it's just how the world is.

Your mom sounds like a cool person, I can see where you got your strength of character from.
 
Oh, one more:
When you are 13 and have blue balls after a "date", don't try to relieve the pain by rubbing Vicks Vap-o-rub on them. :evilfire:

Ouch. Sounds like you are speaking from experience.

Never did that. Had a stomachache when I was kid and rubbed some on my stomach. Oh wait, that was Bengay. I wouldn't put that on your balls either though

Wrong. If you are unsure whether to use I or me in a ___ and I/me sentence, take out the other person. Did my mother tell me or did she tell I? Clearly me.
My mother was an English teacher.
I've known that little rule for several decades.
 
I thought thats different though. I thought when referring to two people, the self is second and is I. When referring to one person did something to the self then its them against me?


My sister and i went to the beach.

is different than

My sister told me she is going to the beach.

is that not a correct distinction?
I went to the beach is what you would rely on. You wouldn't say me went to the beach.
 
Me too. Not in a ring though. Also, never lost a fight.
Liar, it's me who's never lost a fight and I'll present my second, Sly, aka The Brawler, just to prove my point. Okay, I'll bring the beer, now who's bringing the popcorn and who's bringing the lawn chairs up to Mt. Tabor.
 
If you're going to do crimes never do them with someone who looks like this.

I already knew that and don't ask me how.
 
Just saw this on my FB feed.

Trust your gut.

Every time I've hedged my bets against my gut, I've paid.

Every time I followed my gut, I've won.

Interesting. I watched this earlier this morning and see some parallels to your comments.

I'm running the stairs four times, then I'll be ready to kick back and watch.
