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?

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

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.

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'm watching over a piece of property while the couple who're in charge take a few days off for Christmas. They're due for a break, good people.
Have a Merry Christmas out there, ponyfolk. Not too merry, though. We're coming up on new Year's, and you know what that means! 'Tis the season to drink too much, and be stupid.

So my advice is this. Always drink too much and be stupid somewhere fairly safe.

Right then! I have now been EMPLOYED for one full month. I am using a battery-powered screwdriver to assemble somewhat-poorly-designed things as quickly as I can, with as few errors as is possible, and there is no bonus for overtime. There is no air-conditioning, and a fair bit of lifting and carrying heavy objects... This is the best job I've found in the past three years! Odd, perhaps, considering that I am an Electronics/RF technician with several decades experience, an A+ certified computer

I've discovered that this fimfiction thing has a blog built into it.
I've got nothing to say that hasn't been said by a thousand others before me. I'm just playing with my new blog.
Oh, wait. I'm supposed to be writing something thought-provoking, or at least starting a fight. Isn't that what blogs are all about? I'm sure there's a rule or something.
