Is there anything I can do with leftover pork rib bones?

I would throw them in the freezer and use them the next time that I was making bean soup.

Question:

Would you put a comma after "Then" here?

Then start the audio and throw your pork bones in the bean soup.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It would depend on the rest of the paragraph, but I don't think a comma is required. I would put one after "and" beause it's separating two independent clauses.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Won't someone think of the hungry pregnant demons?

Well, there is currently a comma after "then" in this audioscript and other similar examples, and there is a distinct pause in the audio recording to match it.

I'm just trying to figure out why my psycho co-editor decided she needed to delete the commas currently in the manuscript (Note: We are in the 8th edition of this book).

In honor of Saturday being Casper's birthday, here's the video I shot of her very first real word. This was Nov. 4, 2004 (my mother's birthday, which is why I was taking photos of Casper, who was 14 months old) and I happened to catch it on film. [link]

A very clever girl, indeed!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I rode my bike to downtown Evanston for lunch. On the way there I noticed the front wheel was crooked and wobbly. Once I parked the bike I noticed one of the nuts that holds the front wheel in place was completely loose.

So I stopped at a bike shop in downtown Evanston and they fixed it for me. Took a guy about 20 seconds and they didn't charge me.

I love it when a small crisis is quickly resolved without excess anxiety on my part.

Self reality check: am I the only one who's seeing red when she sees someone spell something she has strong feelings to wrong?

Context: I got a CouchSurfing request from a guy who claims that "You're vegetarian and into indie stuff like Afghan Wings, so we have some things in common", and therefor I should host him. Which is hey, fine, but...

Afghan Wings.
Afghan Wings.
Afgh... ahem.

Seriously. If you can't spell the name of the band I hold so dearly to my heart right, or name it's genre right, and you say you like them too, I guess we don't have that much in common after all.

I'm petty, I know. But it's just wrong, you know? And I might be petty, but I prefer to do some things, like spelling, right.
