Whatcha thinking about?

1.  I read something online and cannot wrap my head around the sentence at all.  Let me just show you:  "Me and my boyfriend accumulated a 1.5 German Shepard . . . "  How does one accumulate a dog?  How can a dog be 1½ of itself?  Did the person mean a dog that is one and a half years old — or what?  And then there's that "Me and my boyfriend" as the subject of the sentence.  The dog in the picture is not the "1.5 German Shephard," but a photo found HERE.

Word of the Day
ac·cu·mu·late / əˈkyo͞om(y)əˌlāt / verb = to gather or pile up little by little.  Example:  "Susie has been trying to accumulate a full set of that silverware."  (Did the writer above accumulate that dog by first collecting a little fur, then a paw or two, then maybe an ear?)
2.  Let's talk about New Year's Eve.  Someone pointed out that December 31, 2023 was simply 123123.  Also, a baby born that evening has a twin brother born on January 1, 2024.  Born in different years!  Read about it HERE.

  1. Twins born across date or year lines is always interesting. Nice that they get their own birthday!
