Do you recall my post about the babysitting
neighbor family with whom I was the *most* flexible? They were the ones that
were the most contientious about what my wishes may be.
Um, make that conscientious.
I figgered ;-) Don'tcha love the fingers with a mind of
their own? Mine have taken to typing properly spelled words (so
the spell check doesn't complain), but not the words I intended
to type.

"Contentious" and "conscientious" are so close in spelling, and would mean such
opposite things here!

My fingers always seem to substitute a word that is
similarly spelled but makes the whole meaning of the sentence
come out wrong! Either that, or it's an embarrassing grammatical
mistake (e.g., substituting "they're" for "their" or vice versa,
when I know darned well which one I ought to use). It's a cruel
joke, I tell ya.

Best wishes,
Ericka
