Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Grammar Lesson #1--- "I" vs. "me"

Some people really don't know when to use "I" and when to use "me," so here's a quick lesson. (This is not directed at anyone in particular.)

Good Examples:
Kelly and I were going to the store. ("I" when it's the subject, usually at the beginning of the sentence)
They were going to give it to Kelly and me. ("me" when it's the indirect object)
They saw me and Kelly. ("me" when it's the direct object)
This ball is for me and Kelly. ("me" in a prepositional phrase)

Bad examples:
Kelly and me were going to the store.
They were going to give it to Kelly and I.
They saw Kelly and I.
This ball is for Kelly and I.
