And the nurse even warned me, told me as she gave the injection that she was about to make a mess of my next two days -and it did! But, it is slowly ebbing away and leaving me with just the namby-pamby crapola of the old chemo in its wake.

If spelled correctly, it saves folks from having to ask if the person meant something else. For instance, did you loose the hounds or lose the hounds? Makes all the difference in the world, especially if you're a burglar :-)Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-62839255008124963272010-11-11T12:18:41.454-06:002010-11-11T12:18:41.454-06:00I love the comment about us Yanks spelling everyth...I love the comment about us Yanks spelling everything wrong anyway!
