"The Bends", is actually, "Decompression Sickness", according to reputable medical authorities.
Please note, that is not, "The Decompression Sickness".

And, if you check the websites for The Mayo Clinic, The CDC, and other legitimate sources of medical information, you will see that, "mumps", is a disease. There is no mention of, "the mumps".

As to, "the pox"...Are we in 2013, or in an earlier century?

I have to give you "the clap" for correcting us!

Damn! They teach chattering at Chatters Schools? I did not know this, I thought they allowed chatting. Hmm. Guess I didn't belong there then... however, you are right... I did not need schooling in chattering. I wake up talking!

I take it there were only two residents in the place under discussion, one with "altzhiemers" and one with dementia?

Hackles. But in all fairness, that person is very smart but extremely stressed out.

OK -my dad just sent me an email which was titled, "A Montague of Interesting Photos..."

Wow, this really got my attention. As soon as I got into the email, I realized that he had meant to say "A Montage of Interesting Photos!"

I couldn't resist. I sent this response back to him:

Dad, this is a Montague:

From the new Terms of Service announcement in Google's predatory paradigm:

So your friends, family and others may see your Profile name and photo, and content like the reviews you share or the ads you +1’d.

"+1'd"?

(By the way, please let me know if you can figure out any way that I can continue to use Google without +1age, and absolutely exclude myself from ever +1ing any ads.)
