Thanks. I have to drive my H to the hospital tomorrow because he may have broken his foot at work. Everything seems to come at once...

Here is a theoretical scenario for you to discuss (or not, if you prefer) while I am asleep.
Suppose you had been thinking about a certain behavioural pattern in your spouse/partner/other family member/close friend, a pattern that was mildly harmful for you and that your T and some friends even called mildly abusive (not physical abuse). This has been pretty much ongoing for many years. Then the person suddenly tells you about a friend of theirs, whose Facebook posts makes it clear that their spouse treats them in a manner similar to what you have been upset about in your relationship with your person, and your person is a little upset on their friend's behalf. Might that mean that you have been wrong and unfair in your assessment? (I say "might", not "does".) How would you go about getting less upset about this? Goodnight! |

In an academic setting is 37 words in a sentence too long. This was my tutors main gripe for my last assessment. It was the longest sentence in the essay and she gave no indicators as to how it could be broken up.

In legal writing it would be. I make my students break their sentences down to be more direct and concise. But strictly academic writing is not known for either.

I just walked through the lamest student protest ever (proposed tuition hikes). The print on their signs was so small I had to squint to read it, it was long-winded, they all had their earbuds in, and they were all filming themselves. They weren't even chanting.

I've gotten a bruise on my ribs, not visible just feels sore. Being lazy and not inclined towards physical activity that might have accidentally injured me, I can only infer that my ribs are protesting the sheer amount of weight they have to carry around, and are therefore protesting their ill treatment the only way they can. In other news I'm off work tomorrow and the little has school, trying to talk myself into doing something non-sedentary for a little while before she comes home. Have a good night Couchies!

I think I just wrote a somewhat grammatically correct sentence with more than 37 words. . .

Thanks @@ and SD. I guess it depends on the discipline. I may ask what she thinks a good sentence length is.
Also my 'f' key is broken totally now. first the key came off and now the little rubber cone thing is broken. |

Does anyone know how to disable the clickable link thing in a word document so the link appears as non-clickable?

If you right-click on it, there will be a little menu--hover over "Hyperlink" on it, and then pick the option for "remove hyperlink." (If you have an earlier version of Word, you might have to select "edit hyperlink" first, then choose to remove it, if I remember correctly.)

I hope you're as good at gaol-breaking, cause someday you and I will have to break unaluna out of jail, and I already called dibs on driving the getaway car.
