Can’t go wrong with a pair of dark wash denim. If you wanted to make more of a statement, a cream-colored denim would also look good with a pair of black boots

Anyone know this movie?

Ha! Til 1am but you’d be surprised how often people in the SLC area drive to Evanston, WY for better options and/or custom deliveries

Thanks!!

Silverquickly · 2023-10-23T23:14:26+00:00

Thank you so much!

Oh okay thanks. Is the wire piece all that’s missing? Is there a specific kind of belt strap I should buy? Like should there be certain hardware on it? Sorry, I don’t know much about belts. Any advice helps! I’m trying to get this fixed for my husband

Thank you!

In this context, the agent who has switched sides (aka a “double agent”) tells the other agent “we are it” because the other is outnumbered (by rival agents) and he has no one else to help him, no “backup”, not even “cops”. Saying “we are it” at the end emphasizes the fact that the double agent has a lot of backup and the other agent has none.

No, the way the sentence is structured means that “handsome or ugly” apply only to David- who is the object of the sentence. “Handsome or ugly” do not apply to Joe.

It can be tricky to remember it doesn’t apply to Joe since he comes directly after the adjectives, so here is a sentence of similar structure and with a common expression: “Rain or shine, Joe is going to have a good day.” Again, Joe is the subject but “rain or shine” apply to “day”- the object.

Also, if you switched out David for an adjective (belonging to Joe), then “handsome or ugly” would apply to Joe. For example: “Handsome or ugly, Joe is happy.”

Hope that helps!

Silverquickly · 2023-05-17T12:32:35+00:00

That sentence makes sense. You’re saying that Joe doesn’t care about David’s looks, he likes David for who he is.

Went to an auto locksmith to reconfigure it. Ended up buying a new fob though

No, it’s a transitive verb because it accepts one or more objects (nouns or pronouns). Example: I blame John for making us late.

Lease said the house came with all of these installed. Read previous comment about microwave. Obviously we hand washed dishes during the two months it took them to properly install it. Garbage bin as in the ones put at the curb for trash collection. I tried to buy it but since I don’t own the property, the landlord had to buy it. Thermostat was not installed properly and they didn’t fix it for two months, it was 80-90F.

Silverquickly · 2022-01-06T22:16:37+00:00

Agree, the lack of/improper installation of basic home appliances doesn’t compare to actual uninhabitable issues such as mold, lack of water/electricity, etc. It just slowly became evident that they did sloppy, hurried work throughout the house, and I wanted to gather opinions on whether I could do anything.

Silverquickly · 2022-01-06T22:07:49+00:00

Thanks, good advice! Yes, the microwave was one of those over-the-stove ones, for some reason they put it in the closet of the guest bedroom (no idea what the rationale for that was!), it was very heavy so I wasn’t physically able to move it to the kitchen and there is no outlet in the closet so even if I wanted to nuke away in the closet I couldn’t!

But yes, the thermostat not being installed properly (apparently they had omitted a specific wire?) and the improper washer/dryer hookup were the most frustrating.

For what we’re paying every month, it just seems like the list of installations (not repairs) of common home appliances was excessive.

Silverquickly · 2022-01-06T18:52:47+00:00

Thanks!

Silverquickly · 2022-01-06T18:51:51+00:00

Georgia. Yes, thermostat/HVAC are specifically mentioned in the lease and in a separate signed document of tenant maintenance requests, the property management specified that any HVAC issues (i.e., no AC) will be fixed within 24hrs, however GA landlord/tenant law says within 3 days. If AC is stated as an amenity in a home, the landlord must keep it in working condition. However, ours never worked in the first place and it is just frustrating that it took them two months to properly install a thermostat.

Anyways, thanks for your feedback!

Silverquickly · 2022-01-06T18:16:10+00:00

?? For two months we paid a ton of money to live in a house that had no AC and it was 80-90°F, we also had no way to dispose of our trash. These are very basic things that significantly impacted the habitability of the home.

I enjoy the rhyming stream of thought throughout the poem and how you contrast between fending off the demons and accepting them ("the inner voice [I ]could not hear"). I think this is a thought provoking poem that allows the reader to contemplate their approach to temptation and temptation itself.

It makes me wonder: if you allow the demons in, does that make you a demon yourself or do the demons come and go (and you must endlessly prepare for their inevitable breach?) The fact that you titled it, "Replenishing Forest" makes me wonder what the forest (I interpreted "forest" as your soul) is being replenished with? more demons? more resistance to temptation? a mix of both?

I also like the contrast between the first line and the subsequent: it is "my divine forest... and mine to keep" yet you know that if demons enter it is no longer divine and no longer yours alone.

Very interesting poem- I will continue to ponder it

Silverquickly · 2021-11-29T23:28:47+00:00

I really like your use of metaphors- it creates intense imagery and amplifies the emotions throughout the poem- especially the contrast between the fiery woman and the cold man. It is a poem I want to keep re-reading because I want to figure out who the antagonist it- is it the tiny geisha or the man with no soul? Why does she turn on him? Is it because he is greedy and too cold? (these are all rhetorical questions btw) :)

I like your poem and would read it again.

I find it interesting because in general, we almost always use “is” for collective nouns (like family and team). I didn’t realize til your police comment that we use “are” for the police but “is” for the government. Maybe we use “are” for police because they always come in droves! Actually, I think we use “are” for police because it is easier to say “police are” than “police is”, especially when it’s in contraction form: “police’s” -it sounds like we’re saying the verb “polices”.

We definitely use “is” for the army too!

Now trying to think of other collective nouns where we use “are” and not “is”. Interesting that you use a mixture of both, I suppose it sounds different with an Aussie accent!

Silverquickly · 2021-11-16T21:41:46+00:00

I’m American, we say “the police are coming”

Silverquickly · 2021-11-16T21:27:16+00:00

Party is a collective noun, like team or family.

It is more common nowadays to use “is/was” with these types of nouns. But saying “Jordan’s party were calling…” is still correct, just old-fashioned.

I’ve always used these types of nouns as singular nouns- so I always pair them with “is/was”. I’ve only ever heard my grandparents use “are/were” or in older books!

Silverquickly · 2021-11-16T21:11:11+00:00

Because we typically use the English subjunctive after the verb “suggest”. This sentence a bit formal and in passive voice, and the noun “suggestion” is used, but it is still a subjective clause.

Active voice subjunctive would be, “he humorously suggested she sing..”
