RhaenysBee Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The Josh stuff has to do with this tv show Crazy Ex Girlfriend that Buckwheat And Helena are obsessed with. Josh is the guy whose crazy ex girlfriend the show is about. There are other Joshes in and related to the show, that’s what the plural has to do with. And yay, I just wrote three sentences in a row that end with a preposition. Shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 @Lord Sidious and @Vin need to watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend if they want to understand the plurality of Joshes. (At this point, I think there should be a collective noun for Joshes. "An obsession of Joshes" - How does that sound, @Helenas Musikautomat?) One language course over, everybody passed! Now I am correcting the tests for the other group ... not everybody passes in this one. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think An obsession of Joshes needs to be the thread title for CXG, if we ever come to 20 pages with the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes God has a weird sense of humor day today. I’ve been counting the days off till my doctor’s appointment in the afternoon and then this morning nature says bamm, nope. I managed to reschedule for next Thursday but come on... another week of hypochondriac paranoia? And, I even got a fine for traveling with an expired monthly ticket - at the exit of the last stop to my 8 o’clock meeting... and I spilled coffee on my feet. on the upside, I’m wearing cheap shoes.

You need a cheese steak . A damn good one .

If I were a high school literature teacher I would just say the writer’s English sucks. Can’t I just have a steak without cheese? Medium well with glazed carrots and grilled courgette? What exactly is your job? Sure , it's multifaceted so I'll try to elaborate each . The first is a legal issue where the overwhelming majority of judges rule (and seem to be taught) to take the wife's side in a case of divorce concerning alimony, child support and child custody (this one especially since the default legal position isn't joint custody but maternal custody.) So it feels like a stacked deck with little protection for father's rights . The second is a cultural issue , it seems ,at least here in the US and in cities in particular, that people have moved on from marriage as a legitimate cornerstone to build your life around and think of it more as just a piece of paper you tack on to file joint tax reports . I'm somewhat traditional in my idea of marriage,in the sense that it's a lifetime partnership of respect and compromise and love /appreciation .the two don't seem to like up you see . Third , my parents marriage has always been very cold . I know they care about each other but they're extremely professional and I think it affected my ability to build sincere relationships especially since I left home at around 15 and 9 months and haven't seen my parents except on holiday's since . So yeah , there you go . Nah , gotta flex that liberal arts degree muscle ! You can but nothing will ever do you in like a genuine Philly cheese steak . I run a research and development laboratory.

I have no clue what some of my friends’ jobs are either. when’s your wedding? Kinda but not really . Marriage has usually been associated with religious communities and now Christian culture hegemony over the US , at least in interpersonal relationships, has been pulled apart . People are much more likely to identify as non religious and so fail to see value in marriage outside of the religious frame . Well I guess it is complex , never mind lol . How about this , I'll tell you my degrees and we'll see if we're any closer . I have a double major in electrical engineering and communication engineering , a minor in economics , a masters in signal processing and analysis and a masters in digital electronics design.
