I'm sorry if that sounds coldhearted. I think it's more like desensitized, unfortunately. :-\ :'(

You're not the only one, Chuck. I stopped reading the headlines years ago right after the Aurora, CO "Dark Knight" tragedy. I don't want to know anymore.

I'm not Chuck, but that's OK. :)

It's like fiancé and fiancée. The former is for a man, the latter for a woman. When I first moved to New Orleans, I didn't realize this -- I thought the extra e was just to indicate the pronunciation -- and I applied for a bunch of jobs saying I had just moved there with my fiancée. No wonder I didn't get the jobs back in them days -- homophobes! (Either that, or they preferred hiring a writer who knew how to spell.)
Jeff, is a man with dark hair a brunette?

You're a writer and an editor; you should know--especially after living in New Orleans. ;D
I would use brunet for a man. That's what I get for seven years of French classes in school. :-\

Hello Bettermost Friends!
Well, so far, a productive day.
Woke about 10, did some cleaning, changed the bedding, went grocery shopping, put the food away, continued cleaning, and now, I think it's time for a nap.
When I wake, I'll continue with the cleaning. :) The past few weekends I've been doing light cleanings. This weekend, I'm taking things off of shelves so I can dust the shelves and items.
It's overdue, and needed to be done.
