    Just a random thought.

    Why do so many authors here spell "soldier" as "solider" in their stories?
    It can't be accidental. It happens too often. There must be some reason--some inside joke, maybe.
    It makes no sense. Nobody pronounces the word "solider" when saying "soldier"
    I could understand spelling solder wrong, since it's pronounced "sodder," but soldier is sold-ger, not solid-er.
    What am I missing here?

    Animation fascinates me...

    The idea that one person could create something like the best of the PMVs on YouTube, I can only gasp in wonder.

    Just a few days from my certification exam (Update):

    Since the link previously allowing me to put in a new blog post seems to have gone missing (possibly a quirk in my linux netbook) I'll take this moment to add a short note to an old blog post:
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    This will be a boring blog post! Huzzah!

    Instead of even trying to write, I've bought yet another study-guide and am nearing the "finish-line" of taking an exam for the CompTIA Network+ certification. My CompTIA A+ certification has nearly expired, so by upgrading, I'll continue to hold both. Why am I posting this here..?
    Heck if I know.
    Maybe CompTIA reminds me of CelesTIA.

    Christmas is over, the goose is in the 'fridge...

    Yes, I've taken the Santa hat off and have returned to my secret identity of "Odd-jobs-pony!" From clearing your driveway of snow to clearing your computer of malware, Odd-jobs-pony is at your beck and call--if you happen to live nearby.

    I also shampoo carpeting!

    Why do people snicker when I say that..?

I prefer solder. It makes them sound pretty metal.

4223170 Is that why they keep yelling, "get the lead out?" :rainbowhuh:

Look at the keyboard and spell 'soldier'. it would not be an uncommon mistake for the fingers to get letters mixed up to come up with solider or slodier. errors happen when writing. catching errors is a whole other preposition, to coin a phrase.
