Here we are. It’s hard to ffind the underscore on my beeber. You should introduce yourself in the morning, after the kitteh.
Another version is, Heaven: a British house, an American bank, a Chinese chef, and a Japanese wife. Hell: a Japanese house, a Chinese bank, a British chef, and an American wife.
I didn’t understand much of that, but I’m alright with it.
T-c, you don’t need to type an underscore.
I used “ridesaredhorse” and it worked just fine.
I’ve also noted that I don’t have to use a hyphen when I type your name. I’ve saved countless hyphens since I discovered that.
I may introduce a character with a hyphenated name in my next book. They’re starting to pile up.
I did not intend to start a ruckus. Today is not national ruckus day so it seems very improper!
Wow, Iz glad toknow aboout the under thing. Whereat is my apostrphe, anyway??
My niece has a dog named Ruckus.
That is I before E except after C but not before.
If there were a national ruckus day, we would take note of it by being particularly subdued and well-behaved on that day.
But that's only because we are staunch contrarians.
Causing a ruckus is not normally upsetting to us. It's one of the ways we acquire our dinosaurs.
The above is the aforementioned kitteh you were forewarned about.
And then there was Fernando Lamas, the father of Lorenzo Lamas. Married Ester Williams. Ricardo Montalban was forever a hot ticket!
I’ve never used hyphens or underscores when I type a name on FR.
The default is set, no matter what.
Fernando Lamas was worth a sigh. Also Cesar Romero.
We got the new mirror installed on the purple car, finally. And I planted the peppers and things we bought yesterday, with help from a pack of byos, Ash, and Jake. We planted catnip in my “experiment patch,” but it remains to be seen if the cats will dig all the seeds up before it can grow!
“I, his wife, rested in and was warmed in the sunlight of his loyal love and great fame, and now, even though his beautiful life has gone out, it is as if when some far-off planet disappears from the heavens; the light of his glorious fame still reaches out to me, falls upon me, and warms me.”
~ Julia Dent (Mrs. General U.S.) Grant
Went to the library, no disasters. Tom and Bill have departed for the Diocesan Youth Conference. I stopped at Terry Simpson’s farm stand and got some tomatoes from Florida (probably the same ones my mom is buying in Florida) and some local strawberries. Terry’s grandson, whose name I’ve forgotten, said the tomatoes are really good.
We have returned from the grocery stores, impoverished in some respects, but our cupboards are now filled.
We’ve had some connectivity problems today. Seem to have resolved for now.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, y’all!
RARH: You've vertently or inadvertently wandered onto the Undead ThreadTM. I don't know exactly what it is, and I'm not entirely sure that it's perpetuators know exactly what it is either, but each day, the first post is a LOL-cat image, as best I can discern.
The fact that you've posted more than even one repartee here means that you're probably already over the Event Horizon and there is no ecscape (4Sheare), sans some form of Deus Ex Machina event. Even then, once the unions get involved, it's a sticky, time-consuming process to disentangle oneself.
I’ve never used hyphens or underscores when I type a name on FR.

I already used that shortcut to skip capitalization. Now you tell me that the same technique can be used to bypass hyphens and other meddlesome detritus. Given your tenure, I find myself gratefully. . . troubled, somehow.
Speaking of troubled, I was reading a John Derbyshire book called "We Are Doomed" recently (I bought it in response to his getting cut loose from NR) and ran across the word "abstruse".
Why do I get the feeling that there's an alternative definition for that word, dealing with some kind of profound mystery or epiphany related to the loss of one's erstwhile washboard midriff?
I don’t recall John Derbyshire’s getting a glimpse of my midriff, being as how I’m a fundamentalist frump type ... but if he had ...
If I had October 2002 to do over again, I’d have put in my name without the hyphen. I had only six children in those heady days, and I thought I had time to spare on extraneous keystrokes.
