I can live with a certain amount of dirt (which is good, because I have two large dogs who love to wander in and out) but grit beneath my shoes (or bare feet, for that matter) gives me a nervous twitch that sends me running for the broom and dustpan.Jeanne Estridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096521122802823385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-10048948337576711552009-05-25T11:23:13.974-04:002009-05-25T11:23:13.974-04:00oooooh, the grammar drives me nuts as well. so doe...oooooh, the grammar drives me nuts as well. so does writing without capitals, though, and I do that all the time ;-).<br />oh, and smiley faces drive me nuts too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-86911433689409558282009-05-24T20:23:03.813-04:002009-05-24T20:23:03.813-04:00I fear I may disown my daughter if she ever misuse...I fear I may disown my daughter if she ever misuses "your" and "you're". <br /><br />My other thing? Throwing cigarette butts out your window thinking that they magically don't count as trash or littering. Then again, if Laura is a smoker she will also be dead (killed by me), so it won't really be an issue.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16651032248422757278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-7564327993521763312009-05-23T10:12:17.738-04:002009-05-23T10:12:17.738-04:00dude, I totally have to print out the emails my fa...dude, I totally have to print out the emails my father sends me and mark all the grammatical and spelling errors wrong - I usually send it back to him with a "72% try again"<br /><br />I'm an anal freak too, and yet my blog is a big ole mess.
