Crossbyte: Hugs are doubly healing because they touch two people at one time.
I am sure you have noticed a trend. I'm beginning my blogs with the link you can use to preorder Lancelot and the Tides of Time. I hope you don't think this is obnoxious of me. When the book goes on Amazon and other places, I will also post those links here. I will really be obnoxious then.
Grammar Goblin: Lay and laid. Sit and set. Remember this and this will help you immensely. The word laid never means "to recline" or "Take a nap". He has not "laid down" for a nap; he has lain down for a nap. Remember ... laid never EVER means to recline. In the same way, set never EVER means to park your rear in a chair. He set down for a rest is not correct. He sat down for a rest is the correct way of saying this.

Good day.

Steve, I have read many of these and never seen a comment. Perhaps I have the honor to be first! One of my grammar pet peeves is the increasing substitution of "myself" for "me." "The group included John and myself." there are many other examples of this.
