Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 22, 2015

Didn’t know confectionery was so “dangerous”…

Go for the Good & Plenty!

twice a year double sweet sale… not that hard to figure out :((

“Wisdom Of Confuse-cious”“Penny Candy, For Your Thoughts”“Semi-Oh My”“Pulled And Stretched”“Half And Half”“Mr. Goodbar Gone Bad””“The Kit Kat’s A Scratch”“Kiss Of Doom”“Sundaes And Confused” (♬)“Good And Not- So- Plenty”“Nonpareils In Peril”“The Bitter With The Sweet”or“Mike And Yikes!”

Congrats, again!

Understandable, but wrong. When I was a periodicals clerk at the local public library, I knew that bi-annual meant every two years, bimonthly meant every two months, and biweekly meant every two weeks. Semi-monthly meant twice a month, and semi-annual meant twice a year.

Other people may use the words differently, but those are the standard, official meanings. When you process, and pay for, several hundred periodicals every year, you need to know what you’re talking about.

Ski magazine was published monthly during ski season, and bi-monthly (every two months) during the (Northern hemisphere) summer months.

Gentleman’s Quarterly was monthly. So was the Saturday Review. Go figure.

I never knew chocolate could be so difficult !"^Lol, or give you such a headache! - (except if you’re actually allergic to the stuff, like a close family member of mine…)

Got it, thanks!

Just so funny how Luann takes this “a mile past its intended destination”! (X^D)

use hallmark or American greetings? what are the differences? LOL

There is a time for thought, and there is a time for action.Don’t strain your little brain, Luann!

We just had a big argument over Halloween about how the Hershey miniatures that are now called “Special Dark” were “Semi-Sweet” when I was growing up.

Where did Bernice look up that information? Semi- means half or partial. In no dictionary does it say it means twice. Semiannual is every half year, true. Bernice did not give too much info – she gave incorrect info.

What can you say about a language where flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? At least with semi you won’t hurt yourself—unless it’s an 18-wheeler.

Seems easy enough to me, its a sale happening twice a year on confectionary half as sweet.

So, on to partly cloudy versus partly sunny. Takers?

Emergency shutdown, reboot.

Camawn, Bernice, you’re the one with good gradesl

That’s why reporters should use mostly, not partly.

Go get a Snickers Bar & forget it!

biannual is twice a year, biennial is every two years. (Certain flowers are biennial…some hollyhocks for example. They only bloom every other year.)

Toffee is hard, taffy is soft.

Nerds immediately try to figure it out….give lectures….

Cathy revisited.

BS – Congrats to your girls on their win yesterday— they ROCK! But here, we had our first snow. (What hemisphere are you in?)

And last year didn’t they call it “Pumpkin Spice Cappucino”, rather than “latte”?

“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get.”.“Of course you know, you’ll get chocolate.”.“But if your name is Luann, you still won’t know.”

I’m with Bernice on this one …

OK now there IS a very BIG difference between toffee and taffy. I think everyone knows the difference between those.

Toffee and taffy are two completely different things.

Clearly Bern was listening to Parsons Project before she pulled up…

Ha Ha, true!
