No, He didn't!!!

Anyone that knows us well, knows that we do not shop at Home Depot. Usually, because Lowes has better prices, better items, and employees that are actually on the sales floor.

.

The other reason that I do not like to shop at Home Depot is that Ed doesn't like me shopping at the "competitor." When I do, shhh, I hide the bags and the sales receipt. Otherwise, I get a talk. Sometimes our talk includes how well (or not) Tony Stewart is performing on the track. And, how much we hate #20. And, why, oh why, would we help him out.

.

Once, when Home Depot opened a new store near us, Randy wanted to drive though the parking lot and spit on the ground. I am pretty sure, if I would have let them, Ed would have joined in.

.

So, why am I writing about this?

.

Because Ed went to Home Depot on his way home from work last night. And, he bought something. I caught him scrunching the bags into the garbage.

Please, Please, Please

How to use Quotation Marks " "

Note that commas and periods go inside the closing quotation mark in conventional American usage.

Example:

He asked, "Will you be there?" "Yes," I answered, "I'll look for you in the foyer."

Colons and semicolons go outside; and placement of question and exclamation marks depends on the situation.

Put a dash, question mark, or exclamation point within closing quotation marks when the punctuation applies to the quotation itself and outside when it applies to the whole sentence.

Example:

Philip asked, "Do you need this book?"

Does Dr. Lim always say to her students, "You must work harder"?

Sharon shouted enthusiastically, "We won! We won!"

I can't believe you actually like that song, "Tears"!
