This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015I have a lot few pet peeves: Poor grammar and other language blunders; people who insist on telling me the entire plot of a movie or TV show; having to repeat myself because the object of my conversation wasn’t paying attention … these are some of the top things that irritate me beyond reason.

Time Flies
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015When I was a kid, I often heard this expression but never really understood what it meant.
