18. Copy editor here, so my expertise is grammar, spelling,
punctuation and a general command of the English language. Also, since I have owned two Rottweilers (actually they owned me), I think that I would be qualified to state that I am sort of an expert of that breed.

23. but, but, but - - -
you left the comma off after the word "punctuation"!

:rofl:

(Of course it depends on which grammatical guide to which you ascribe. . .)

sorry - I'm just messing with you..... there was a whole thread some weeks back about whether one used the comma before the 'and' in a series or not.

26. reading and watching tv at the same time.
when i start reading my current book, my bf is always saying "if you don't want to watch this we can change it." i assure him i am watching and will proceed to give a synopsis of the plot of the show so far.

but i can't read and listen to the radio or cd player at the same time. it is strange.


today my boss told someone i was an expert in quickbooks but i beg to differ.

27. getting pretty close to expert status in Feral TNR.
www.katzenengel.org

In short: abandoned domestic housecats sometimes revert to wildness. The offspring of these cats grow up wild.

TNR stands for "trap - neuter - return." Feral cats are trapped humanely, spayed or neutered, then returned to where they were trapped. In various cities, people band together to care for large communities of feral cats. We're often criticized for feeding these cats, but that's where the spaying & neutering comes in, you see.

:hi:

for more extensive info, and how you can help or get involved, see http://www.alleycat.org/

3) wine (not sure if I'm really an expert, but I'm studying hard), 4) sailing.
