    About to watch a movie.  I think it is important to be comfy before going to see a movie.  Don't want to have unnecessary interruptions during the movie.

    ...I wouldn't have drank that gallon of tea.

    Probably shouldn't drink so much before going to bed.

     

    (Actually most of the tea still exist in the fridge!)

    Being Pedantic:  "have drunk".  https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/drink-vs-drank-vs-drunk/ ; had to look it up to be sure.frown

    MITYEWTK*:  about past participles.  https://www.fluentu.com/blog/english/past-tense-vs-past-participle/#:~:text=can take anywhere.-,The Difference Between Past Tense and Past Participle,be used on their own.

     

    *MITYEWTK  "More Information Than You Ever Wanted To Know"  Poor example:   My teacher was unhappy with my grammar.  To make my teacher happy I took him out for drinks.  We drank too much.  After having drunk too much we were both drunk and then his grammar was as bad as mine.yes

    I asked copilot to make an image of a pet meowing for food.  This is what came up.  What is the best ds model to make this pet?

    Complaint:  English grammar:   Like when the operation manual for a household appliance is thicker than a late 20th century phonebook(remember those?), an explanation of an English grammar rule longer than your arm indicates a twisted history.frown

    Cat Zeus by Vyusur on Renderhub. Used to be sold here, but now not. But it's the best cat model out there right now.

    Duh, finally GROKed it:yes  It's the pronunciation of the word "participle".surprise  WTF is a "participle"?  I've always heard it pronounced as "past parti-SIPAL" or "PARTI-sipal", and it never had any meaning to me as to how it defined the verb.  But if one pronounces it as "past par-TISIPAL", then it relates to how one participated in the action of the verb in the past.​  One's previous or past participation.cool  i.e. "have drunk, have vomited, had walked, had been, had snowed ."  Why did my teachers never say that? frown  I'm only 76, what else did I miss in 5th grade English class?sad

    2025 isn't my year.

    Minor complaint. We had 9" snow & a cold snap. Since we are atop a mountain, that means we've been stuck at home. Been too cold in the living room of our drafty old house to play with Daz. (Bedroom is too small to squeeze laptop & table in with us, 2 dogs, & furniture without dogs knocking it over.)

    Major complaint. Only Car has Serious Issue

    Minor good news: finally warm enough to visit laptop
