Happy Thanksgiving!

And I’m praying for you.

Circumlocutions I have heard

“I’m doing such-and-such” could mean “I’m planning to do it.” “I’m thinking of doing it” could mean “I’ve already done it, and now I’m thinking of it.” “My last spouse...next spouse” could mean “I’m not remarried yet, but I’ll let you think I am.” Who can tell? Only the speaker knows for sure.

Oh, well.

I tried, but I lost. He’s an old friend; how can an ex-husband compete with that?
