Mr. Jeffrey Scott Eko

I have survived the week following my appointment with Dr. Torture. My mouth is actually feeling better. I do have one regret, I should have used the incident to cross another thing off my "before 40 to do" list. I have no clue if I'm using the quotation marks properly in that last sentence. I love the show Lost and a character on the show Mr. Eko (I checked thats how you spell it KELLY) I also have no clue if thats a proper use of paranthesis. Back to Mr. Eko - he decides he will not talk for 40 days!! Stuck on an Island with strangers probably allows this to be pulled off fairly easy but still -40 days? Proper use of the question mark? Thats quite an accomplishment. My goal would be no talking fo two days. Two days in the off season without talking. It could be done and I'm the man to try it. The kids would love it, Kelly wouldn't mind, and in the off season I'm mostly emailing and getting paperwork done anyway, so I think this could be done. I have five years to try this. As you all know I'm not one to actually try something outside of my routinue to quickly. I may have to continue to think about it. I was telling Kelly we could really keep ourselves out of trouble if we all had a word limit. No one would have to say "hi" to me as we passed in the hall - it really never makes my day any better anyways. How about taking out the "how you doing" thing that people ask without really a care to how we are actually doing. I'm not trying to mimic a comedian but you get my point. Was there a run on sentence back there? We could all read, watch T.V., shop, and do anything without verbal skills! It is intriguing to think about isn't it? Seriously how could you accomplish the no talking for two days thing in a realistic manner. I'm telling ya, dawgs, I'm going to try and find out. I'm not calling you dawgs in the offensive sense - more of the "buddies" sense!

Just to clarify - those werent slams on my wife - spelling is her only hang up - those thoughts were actually going thru my mind as I was typing.!! does the point come acrossed better with two exclamation points?

Yes, the point does come across better with 2 exclamation points, but you don't need the period before them. Love Ya, Karen

The "Mr. Italicized Sidenote" character is very effective, without regard to punctuation, spelling, or grammar.
