why it’s important to proofread ad copy…

From a Michigan Kroger’s sales ad:

I’m not sure I want to know the ingredients of that margarine spread. On the bright side, it is on sale at 10 for $10, so if you need it, now’s the time to stock up, I guess.

I was twice named one of the "Top 50 Travel Writers on Twitter" - which I think is basically a nice way of saying I may talk too much but I do occasionally have something relevant to say. Thanks y'all! I will happily accept the kudos.

Truly believes age ain't nuthin' but a number; loves 70's disco & funk, 80's hard rock & new wave, 90's alt-rock & pop, LOTR, Star Wars, RHPS, Joss Whedon, Laurell K. Hamilton; deeply passionate; loves animals - hates insects; gourmet chef's worst nightmare; gets easily annoyed by fat prejudice and sexist men; never gives third chances; refuses to live in the past.

I'm on a first name basis with my inner child, and I believe we were put on this earth as unique individuals for a reason but that reason isn't to bomb the hell out of each other...though I will concede there are some people out there who deserve a really good spanking.
