That's it! You are going down! You have really done it now. Your response does not appear to have been thought out or accurate in any way. I do not understand your analogy regarding the lawn mower. I did not know that you even knew how to use our mower. The last time it was in use was on Memorial Day. The crop circles in our backyard that I made with the weed whacker should be proof of that. May I remind you that you (you, you, you were the one) who decided to buy a used mower (much to my dad's horror). While, I supported your lawn mower decision, I still think that is bothersome to my dad even a year later. Although, not as bothersome as us buying tires (used) from Reasonable Ron's. Praise God, my dad has never seen Reasonable Ron's. No one should ever, ever have to see that place.
Also, what projects have you initiated and/or completed? I believe that the ONLY thing you did in the guest room was the painting part. I removed the wallpaper, washed down the walls, filled all the 9,000 holes in the wall, sanded the spackle, taped everything, cleaned up everything, painted a huge part and put the room back in order. The job you did cutting in at the top was great, as you are a fantastic "cutter-inner", but let's remember who did the most work here. The time you spent at Home Depot (2.5 hours) debating on which ladder to buy does not count as time put into that room. And do not even get me started on the landscaping projects...the only reason I do not do these projects alone is because you are SO particular and if a flower by the mailbox was off by an inch, then everytime we drive by the mailbox you would just shake your head in complete disappointment.
I hope that you will take my thoughts into consideration. I am still waiting for my t-shirt.
P.S. There is nothing you have said or done that is acceptable to me in the least. You are a traitor to this country and a disgrace to your office. And it's my duty to see that you're brought to justice for what you've done. Is there anything else, Matthew?

At first, I wasn't even going to dignify your post with a response. Then it hit me... While you think you may have made some valid points, you have actually played right into my hands.
If you think back to the root issue (I know it’s difficult to dig through all the other baggage brought into the ring in typical desperate-female-without-strategy form) was that you were never blogging. And now you are. The last three posts are from you, so my efforts have worked. Now I just need to work on your posting frequency and relevancy. Then we can talk t-shirts.
P.S. Most of our eight readers do not watch the show "24" and now think you're psycho.
P.P.S. Cutter-Inner? That is a red mark on the proud legacy of Iowa public education… and by the way, the comma goes inside the quotes.
After a lengthy comma debate, here's what I found on the Ask the Editor section of APStylebook.com:
Q:
"Is there ever an instance that a period or comma should go outside a closing quotation mark? I'm helping to edit a book, and a person on the team is insisting that the following examples are correct. Example 1: An excerpt from the book, "My Life as a Dog", beginning on page 233, eases you into . . . Example 2: Yoga was deemed by "New Agers", cultists and weirdos as . . ." – from Bloomington, Indiana on Wed, Jul 12, 2006
A:
"It's rare -- and should be -- but on occasion, the comma should go outside quotations marks. An example would be when the title of a book ends with a question mark, as in "What's Life All About?", a book about ... But in the examples you cite, the comma belongs inside the closing quotation marks."
I'm not sure I want to get in the middle of this. But a few of the 9000 holes were in the wall when I got there. In a brilliant and possibly fearful attempt to substantiate my innocence of the holes in the guest room; I’ve consulted my lawyer. After days of legal council he’s encouraged me to make this statement: “I didn’t do it” However my lawyer was so moved by this case he decided to find the culprit. After hours of lab testing we’ve narrowed the suspects down to Two. Reasonable Ron, and Francie. Sorry about the mower. Because I care about you guys I really suggest some climbing lessons at the Y. Make sure you learn how to tie off. That way you'll be safe mowing your front yard.
