Greetings!

[in a robotic voice:] Greetings, earthlings.

[back to regular voice:] That's what I think of when people use the word "greetings" instead of "hey y'all" or "hello". It's absolutely absurd! "Greetings" is a noun. Starting an email or conversation with "greetings" is like walking up to someone and saying "sentences", "nouns", or "picnic basket".

When you leave that person, do you say "salutation"? It'd only make sense. I'm all for consistancy, so if you say "greetings", I expect you to say "salutations" as well. Better yet, let's use correct grammar and say "hello" and "goodbye". :)

By the way, "hello" is an interjection when used as a greeting.

Out of soy milk....

I ran out of soy milk yesterday. I used the last drops in my cereal. I hope I enjoyed that immensely. I was still out of soy milk today. I'm not sure why the soy milk fairy skipped my house last night, but that was a mean trick. So I didn't figure out or remember the soy milk was gone until I'd already poured my cereal and sliced some strawberries and I was hungry (after working out before breakfast, yay me!) and in a hurry.... WHAT TO DO? I thoguht about using water, but I've tried that before. It's not good. My husband had some creamer in the fridge, and I thought about watering it down and using that, but I don't drink milk.... then I found it! Sitting there in a brand new half gallon package-- oj. Yes, I put oj on my cereal. It wasn't so bad, but the cereal seemed to get soggy faster than usual and the oj tasted very acidic and strong. I should have watered it down. Oh well. Now I can say I've had oj on my cereal.
