This is something I'm so afraid I will do someday. I appear before the court several times a year as an advocate for foster children. I'm so afraid that one day instead of saying "Your Honor", I'll say "Your Highness". Most times I don't address the judge at all. I just stand up, make my report and answer questions.

"We work at our store which is kind of a hubby."

Yes, probably just a typo.

I see "peaked my interest" around CD a lot. At least it makes some sense.

When you think it can't get much worse you discover that even with common words, it can.

Again, maybe it's too early for me but I'm not seeing anything wrong.

"We all have canned food or other packed foods that are not considered perishable in our panties some of it out of date but still good."



Oh my! Non-perishable in your unmentionables?

BUT!!! It's still good!

OK, lots of cognitive dissonance on this one. If the stuff isn't perishable, how can it be out of date? TMK, it's an either/or proposition. If the stuff is non-perishable, it won't have a best used by date. It may have a date of manufacture, or canning, or what-have-you. But not a use-by date, because it's not ever supposed to go bad - at least not merely by the passage of time.

& of course, the stuff in our panties is priceless. I always wondered about the phrase the vertical smile. Now I understand that one, and also, I suppose, the phrase to "put on your party pants".
