By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Sorry. I'll see myself to the door.
And of course there's (there is) always there, their and they're. Their family is wacky. They're living with elderly parents. There's going to come a day.
“CallMeBack”
Recently, another gaffe has caused my toes to curl. I'm in a new position that requires I contact other facilities, and usually that means I need to leave a voice message. Have you run across the message, "Please leave me a message, and I'll get back to you at MY earliest convenience"?
These dolts get standard business messages mixed. It's polite when leaving a message to say, "Please call me at YOUR earliest convenience."
But they never realize by saying they'll return my call at THEIR earliest convenience is dismissive and rude. One day, when I no longer need a job, I'm going to dial all those people and leave them an educational message! I'll finish my message by saying, "Please give me a call at your earliest convenience, and I'll return your call as soon as possible. "
Gawd awful vs. Doggone awful.
It's and Its. I like this thread.
I still remember 9/11. Will never forget. I do get annoyed with conspiracy theorists though, but that might be another thread for another time.
Another misuse. Alot and a lot.
Peace out AC
confusing the word suppository for I am a repository of good information.
Another one I had to be corrected on: hoist with one's own petard. Because of "hoist"- I don't know about anyone else - I always had a vague mental image of a person dangling around by the seat of their pants having caught them on a blade or hook of some sort. Far from it: a petard is a type of grenade, going back to the earliest use of gunpowder in the West, and hoist means disembowelled, essentially - blown to pieces.
My friend is of Viking decent. Or is it descent? Or desent? Lol.
Not even the grammar app will say. I don't know!
That did not come out right.
Trying to say, it is not her,
but others losing their heads.
I shoulda been mute.
It's where my ex's mom was from.
A couple of years after my ex's grandma (who was from Balteemore) died, she made a recording (sort of an audio letter to her daughter). I knew this woman for a couple of years before I married ex.
One day, I mentioned something about the fact that his grandma had had a drawl. He hotly denied that fact, as did his mom.
FIL found the tape and we played it for them. Glory be! Listen to that drawl!
If You Can Keep Your Head When Everybody Round You Is Losing Theirs,
Then It Is Very Probable That You Don’t Understand the Situation.
My ignorance about headdress could have unintentionally offended others, and I thank you for clearing that up in my mind. And I apologize for any offense.
My hubs laughs at me because I have this flowing blouse in a paisley print, and everytime I put it on, I tell him it feels like I am wearing a tablecloth, there is so much fabric.
I don't mind being corrected.
Today in the US we have far less to fear from foreign terrorists than we do from our own home grown mass shooters.
Oh bless them, that one has been making me throw things at the radio for YEARS.
And don't start me on decimate/devastate.
Or personal pronouns.
But I am proudly using y'all at every possible opportunity from now on - so excited about it!
I found this!
Is it heart wrenching or heart rending? 😕 I see the their vs there vs they're so often, at times it definitely gets to me. I am certainly not going to become one of those that corrects or disagrees with others on this site.
The one that really drives me nuts is accept vs except!
My bad!
As for adding a pet peeve, I’ll go with “could care less” If a person could care less then he or she is capable of caring less than the person already does. If you want to express that you’re truly over something, you should say you “couldn’t care less” as that means you’re not capable of caring any less than you presently do.
