Hell, phil, I read a Clancy novel here every night!
That’s a possibility.
Why would Q link that story? It’s complete rubbish? I’m missing the point.
I owe, I owe, so off to work I go.
"However, most cracks are gaps in trim pieces or between walls and ceilings or doorways or windows. They can telegraph structural problems, but for the most part these cracks simply reflect the fact that the wood frame of your house shrinks...
Expansion joints in the underlying slab that are not honored will telegraph through an overlay.
Particularly with eggshell and semi-gloss finishes, the drywall joints seem to telegraph through the sealers,...
If you need a semi-colon, ask why the *clauses* arent just two distinct sentences. No time to review the intricacies right now, but, IMO, semi-colon needs to decide if its a period or a comma.
I like the option play.
I often put on my flashers - emergency lights - so I have right and left turns covered, once I decide; which gives me flexibility.
Here’s a good roll from @PrayingMedic for why TRUMP won’t go to war with Syria.

I was watching the trial and I saw two perverts, 0vomit, and Hitlery.

In the first case I am discussing 4 people. In the second case only 2.

My readers can count. 2 people are listed. The insertion of *two* is unnecessary and one of 2 reasons I see for the Oxford comma in your fun exercise. The other reason is the non-specific *the*. Using *those*, instead of *the*, increases specificity, ruling out confusion over the number of perverts.
My habit of leaving out the *and* (& Oxford comma) is mostly for lists of 3 or more(from WIP):
“Histories, novels, films, some authentic, some romanticized, others pure lying garbage,abound on every human world.”
“...the strongest, the cleverest, the most ruthless rose to power.”
I do utilize the Oxford comma and the conjunction when needed for clarity. If the sentence is clear, I leave out the comma preceding the conjunction. I will re-write for clarity. I recognize that I tend toward overly-long lists. I had to go through 8 pages in 12-point to find the examples, so I do attempt *accepted* usage. Sometimes the choices are a question of voice.
Fun with editing! Nerd mode off.
Thanks, g. I’ve neglected my own work since this thread began. You made me pull it up for examples. I did find Oxford commas, as well as clear sentences that left it out. Still feel rebellious about Oxford, though. It’s visceral.

Go, Q!
Go, Trump,
I’ve been hearing the Lifelock ads on conservative radio shows for quite a while now. Regardless of whether they are the same or similar, I don’t see any advantage in paying for Lifelock.
Here’s why:
1. It is not clear to me that they actually do anything. (I haven’t checked into it. This is just based on what they say in ads.)
2. In order for them to “protect” you, you have to send them your info. So yet ANOTHER company has my SS# and other info. I don’t think so.
3. If your identity is compromised and they can’t “fix” it, they will refund your money. Gee, that sounds like a great scam! Collect money from people every month and then give it back if something bad happens. That’s like having you pay into fire insurance and then if your house burns down, you get a refund.
Where are you getting the info that Qx believes all this stuff?
I agree with it for the most part, but I want to know what makes you think that Qx thinks that.
Actually I believe that GHWB is far more evil than that. Not sure how bad GWB is.
Gwb is his fathers puppet.
I agree.
Yes, we will learn, some day, Q’s identity. Meanwhile, we must be patient.

Uninstall the Security Essentials add-on off them and better dont use the search either!
Here is one review I was able to catch, looks like google is busy hiding this massage from the reviews:

Q posts #17. I'd seen people speculate about championship teams giving @POTUS team jerseys w/#17 instead of the usual #45 he normally receives as signifying the 17th letter of the alphabet being Q. I dismissed it as signifying 2017. Is Q confirming that @POTUS requested #17?
An anon asked about the gap btwn Night [4] which was after midnight ET on 7 Apr (early 8 Apr) and Night [5] after midnight last night (early morning 12 Apr). Syria response planning put temp hold on Q team ops. Back on it last night.

Please hire AZL, Mr. President.
Haha!
Great post! ThanQ.
