What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

It's depressing when supposed English speakers have lame excuses for basic English mistakes.
It's the internet, so there's a lot that's excusable, but "I just got up" isn't an excuse for using words wrong, especially when it's clear the words are misused because they are mispronouncing them in reality.
I just witnessed someone talking about "stalking" shelves at work instead of stocking shelves.
They tried to tell me it's because English is dumb and has multiple definitions.
No, this isn't a multiple definition thing, this is a two different words thing.
Clearly they failed to ever comprehend the spoken different between stalk and stock.
Also, it's not a matter of you just getting up because you obviously have misunderstood the words for a while now.
I could only just walk away.

I just drank some black tea and the caffeine boost was exactly what I needed.

 

[ericalauren]

I feel so guilty because I had to order dinner delivery last week. I didn't sleep for 48 hours (thanks to Sudafed) and I was simply too tired to go get dinner or cook something. I hate feeling guilty just for needing help.

 

[lavendersilk]

I ate too much.

 

[LaisDeMarieDeFrance]

I ate too much.

They looked amazing!

It’s the middle of the night, and my mind wanders to all that can happen in the dark.
The wicked. The delicious. The sinful.

Where vision is stolen by a blindfold, and every other sense sharpens.
The sound of a low moan, the quick catch of breath, the sharp gasp that shivers down my spine.
The tremble in a touch that hovers before it lands.
The scent of skin warmed by want.
The taste of a kiss that lingers long after lips part.
And the feel - skin against skin - where warmth turns to heat, heat turns to hunger, and hunger becomes something untamed. Fingers gripping harder, breath colliding, the air thick with the kind of tension that demands to be broken… with a gasp, a cry, a surrender to the blaze we’ve started.

(I should really be sleeping...)

I need more details. Is this a friend? A coworker? Some random stock clerk in a store?

 

[LatinaCarmen1980]

Hmmm. Wondering what kind of taco he'll want. Beef taco or me "taco?" Fucking decisions, decisions.

Why not both?

 

[LatinaCarmen1980]

Why not both?

I mean both are juicy so there's that.

A random person from elsewhere on the internet.

 

[ericalauren]

What body products have you been using lately? In the shower today, I used Dove bar soap and then Dove rose oil and peony body wash. I used Aveeno Tone & Texture body lotion afterwards. How about you?

 

[LatinaCarmen1980]

It was SO worth it!

 

[AtramentousRex]

I'm okay. It's going to be okay. *hugs self*

One stock of celery for me, please.

 

[nola31]

I’m tried and need a shower. It’s way too early for bed especially since I don’t work tomorrow. Pizza for dinner?

Pizza sounds good! Pepperoni and jalapenos please!

News from my surgeon on Friday couldn't have been better.

 

[barefootgirl69]

It's 109° and I'm looking at lentil soup recipes.

Mi mama, because almost all Mexican moms do this, will make soups and stews on both the coldest AND hottest days of the year!

Okay, here's my perspective on this.

English is my second language. Even though I was born here in the US, my parents, like many Mexican-American parents wanted me to learn Spanish first. Hell, I was in ESL until about 5th grade. Talk about being embarrassed! But now? I mean I try my best but I know I fudge some words or use words in the wrong context.

However, if I fuck up and someone corrects me on a word, I take it as a learning experience. I don't try to defend my horrible use of [insert word]. I just take it and run with it.

I put too much effort on this response, didn't I?

Not at all, it's a nice perspective.
And while English being a second language is a possibility, I'm pretty sure they were a native English speaker.
That being said, I don't know them really at all.

Really? I thought he was a racist homophobic MAGA goon.

My mother taught me, if you can't say anything nice about a person, keep your mouth shut. I've always tried to abide by her rules. She was a smart, no nonsense type of woman. Another one she'd tell us live and let live.

 

[MissSNG]

It really sucks when we’re budgeting and we had lunch out today (not the lunch I wanted and my meal was not great) and that means I can’t justify ordering hot wings right now even though I want them soooo bad

 

[Susurration]

It's too hot.
