The next round is on me so you'll feel obligated to listen to my little rant. Bartender? top shelf for everyone!

!!!!

Why do people insist on using unnecessarily large quantities of exclamation marks?!!!!?!!!!?!?!!!

I'm corresponding with a woman via email and text message about some help I'm providing her and she ONLY uses exclamation marks for punctuation!!!!! Unless she's asking a question mark - in which case it is several question marks and exclamation marks!!!! and it's not like she's saying anything urgent, she just likes to use them or something?!?!?!??!?!?!!!!!

all of this causes me anxiety. not in the clinical sense, mind you, just in the "I read what you're sending me so YOU MIGHT AS WELL INCLUDE ALL CAPITALS BECAUSE THE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s AREN'T SHOUTING LOUDLY ENOUGH" sort of way...

Perhaps her phone's software keyboard has a broken period button or something. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

So anyway - life is crazy but good. I'm still kinda riding the high from meeting a bunch of you hubskiers in Boulder LO those many days ago. My wife is in the NYC with a friend of hers which makes me Mr. Mom this week... I've said it before and I'll say it again - hats off to EVERY single parent who ever was.

Bartender? Another round for every single-parent in the room! oh wait... that wasn't enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
