You know, it’s entirely possible that your phone holds the answer to world peace. Just sayin’…

Not to mention cough, rough, dough, and bough.
Also, I’m glad they called it a vowel shift and not a vowel movement.

“Bomb” typically pronounces itself “boom,” so there is that.

Well, it gets more fascinating if you actually delve into it. English itself was undergoing a “great vowel shift” where the pronunciations were shifting at the same time the spellings were being standardized, which is why there’s numerous examples of the pronunciation oddities.
For instance, add “comb” into your example. Or use Laughter & Daughter.

Some of us, at least. It’s certainly good progress anyway.

@Wilde_Guess
I don't plan on going on to LPN or RN. I'm just going for PCT so my mum isn't on my ass about having a career that pays well. I plan on moving out of state far away from my current residence as soon as I'm done with phlebotomy this semester and EKG next semester so that I have the PCT completed to make things smoother when parting ways with her. I do want to maintain a decent if not good relationship with her. I just have to get a job near my intended location to move to once I've got PCT so that I have a steady income while finishing my books(at least one of them) and other plans I have.
@Desiderius Price
You didn't get that from my last comment? XD Thanks, Des. It really did. Haha~

Congratulations! Hopefully, your first day went well. Almost everyone I’ve met who has gone into nursing “working their own way” has started out as a CNA. The “trick” is to keep up your studies to work up to LPN, RN, and so on without burning out. The clinical experience you gain will help you become a better nurse as time goes on.

Thank you.

CNA = Certified Nursing Assistant
It is awesome! I had an amazing first day. Everyone there is super nice and I love helping out the residents with little things.

That’s awesome! I think… I dunno what a CNA is. A nurse of some sort? Whenever there’s an n in the acronym, nurse is my first guess. Probably because I come from a long line of nurses. Either way, new jobs are exciting! I hope your first shift went swimmingly!

Congratulations! That is no small accomplishment.

I’d e-file if it were free...yes I would!

Wilde_Guess reacted to BronxWench in Taxes are filed
I’ve pretty much switched to paperless notifications, so most of my information reaches me by Jan 31. My state requires e-filing, so that’s as free as the Feds.
-
Wilde_Guess reacted to Desiderius Price in Taxes are filed
I’m constrained every year as the critical forms aren’t ready until mid-February. So, once they were done, I filed ASAP. I’ll be dropping the state taxes into the mail this morning (because the software wants $19.99 to e-file the state, I can hit print and use a stamp).

I need to get mine filed as well.

Files, and the Feds deposited the refund already.

South of there. The Tropic of Capricorn passes through the state of Queensland and I’m in NSW (New South Wales).

Wilde_Guess reacted to Desiderius Price in Switching between two different projects can get frustrating.
Usually, I just have to focus on one project, or the other. So, now, I’m focusing on Jefferey again, which, cross my fingers, should be until a particular point when I can start working on the main protagonist’s story. There is a threat in there, a plot bunny that’s agitating.

More like the middle I guess, on the east coast, about 2 hours north of Sydney.

February is just typically summery here. And it’s been an extremely dry summer, so we’re desperate for rain.

We had a yard puddle that took a quarter of the yard. If it had frozen, we could open a skating rink among the trees.
I keep getting surprised by which dog wants out in the cold and which would rather come in from the cold RIGHT NOW!
