him up every single time.

What's on your mind today?

ten years ago I all the sudden started noticing that sometimes rather than careening the word

Careering would appear and at first I thought it was maybe spell check and you know it got the wrong and changed it uh...

in that line rather than the careening and so i looked up

uh... the definition of both because it didn't seem correct to me
