Good tip. I'd be saying to myself: If I had wanted that brand, I would have ordered it.But now I know that next time, I will check “no substitutes”.

Then vs. Than -- they sound similar but they are different.

That’s exactly what I said to myself. The delivery person (who reviewed the invoice with me) said he would take it back and get me a refund, but I decided that was unnecessary for an error that was mine. They had, after all, just acted according to my instructions.

Loose you're arrogance about this.
People who look at me and assume:
1) I'm a shrinking violet
2) I'm younger and or less intelligent than they are
3) I'm young and sweet and they want to therefore pat me on the head and say something like, aww, aren't you sweet
4) that I'm someone's wife, and I'm waiting on the beach, at the restaurant, on the trail, on the slope, for my husband to return
None of these things are true. And I'm tired of the arrogance of people to assume these things about me.
Folks who like to sit in public places and sing along to the radio. Really you don't sound like you should sing in public.
Whenever my father heard me singing he would say "You really should be on the radio. Then I could shut you off."
Haha.Whenever my father heard me singing he would say "You really should be on the radio. Then I could shut you off."
There also seems to be a trend of clueless people using speakerphone while walking in public ...
On Wednesday, went to the Apple store. New exactly what Macbook Pro I was buying. Spoke to the nice greeter and told him that I just wanted to give them my credit card, get the computer and go. He said it was really busy (8 pm Wednesday) and that it would be at least a 20 minute wait. Strange business model. Also had an interesting discussion with the salesperson when I did finally get one but that was just gravy.
The strength and resistance of cheap perfumes and scents.
We got a bunch of these at a rummage sale:
Got them home and I realized they smelled of cheap perfume. Strong odor. I figured they just had been used in a home with a lot of air freshener, but now I think the scent was added to the plastic.
I soaked them in vinegar, but the scent remains.

Mine, too.I am so sorry. Please accept my apology.
Haha! Especially when reading an article about "whatever" subject by a so-called journalist I often have to stop and ask myself "what the heck did he just say?" Do they ever employ proofreaders?
In my limited experience as a freelance proofreader one thing I've discovered is that it is difficult to proofread your own writing. You know what you meant to write and often can't see the mistakes you wrote. Too many people rely on spell check to correct their writings. Which often leads to a different problem.
