Ebullient = "cheerful and full of energy"... but I see what you mean...

Umm... 'their' ("Their" is a positive pronoun - "their car is red" and "there" can be used as an adjective - "he is always there for me" or a adverb - "stop right there"
But, my guess is, you had deliberately chosen that word to prove a point... Nicely done (should be - "well done") lol.

Don’t be so uptight.  It's just a typo.  Everyone knows he meant to type they’re!

Yeah, umm... trying really hard to cut back on my edits. I guess my habit of posting had been to write, post, edit, edit, edit... until I'm accused of abusing the Modify privilege's. Hope this old dog can learn at least one new good habit.

Meant to say "ever" not "every" and it's driving me crazy!

Well maybe just one, no, there was the usual "to" but meaning "too" back there to.  ;-))

Please, don't get me wrong. Fixing a typo is expected usage. Changing the contents after replies had already been posted was what was annoying.

The feature is back, it's just a matter of dosing usage really.

When I was 9, I learned throwing crab apples at a hornet next was not a good idea, either. I also learned I could out run hornets. My cousin and I were having a contest, and I won. I hit the hornet nest first. We both saw a big black cloud emerge, and then we had our second, unscheduled event... we tied at that one. We both hit the woodshed door at the same time!

No hornets where I live now, but f there were, I'd recommend gasoline and fire. We do love barbecuing in California.

Dogs and burgers tonight on the grill. I make the burgers with sauteed onions and mushrooms. 6 oz patties with garlic, onion, and seasonings.
