I need a little help here, folks. This morning, I'm getting things ready for work/daycare (the latter is for A, not me, although I would appreciate the notion of naptime far more than she does). Among them is a list I made of things to pick up at Target later today. On that list is "Pos. Adv." And I haven't the foggiest what in the world that's supposed to be. "Positive advantage?" Can you buy such a thing at Target? (Well, they do seem to have everything... but no.) "Position advertisement?" It's true, we are hiring, but again: not at Target. "Positive adverb"? "Postulating adversary"? "Positing advantageously"? All possibilities, I suppose, but none of them are nouns and, therefore, are not available for purchase. At least, I think you can only buy a noun--I've never heard of anyone buying something that can be described as a verb or an adjective... "Yes, hello, I would like to buy some running and some yellow, thank you."
And now it's clear that this is making me crazy(ier). Any thoughts? What in Hades am I supposed to be buying today?!?

Maybe there was punctuation after each letter in Pos. Which would, obviously, mean you're supposed to buy a Piece of Shit Adverb.
Or maybe you're supposed to buy a poster of Advil?
This is strangely reminding me of Schoolhouse Rock...
At any rate, whatever Pos. Adv. is, it remains unbought. And a mystery.
Are you in the market for a possum advocate?
Was it one thing? Could it be Advil of some type....like the kind of Advil that makes you POSITIVE, now there's something you could definitely use more of...
Not a bad guess because I'll grant that possums could use advocates--at least based on the state I see them in on the road--but, sadly, I'm not quite that munificent.
And oh, ha ha, Chris. :P
Did you ever figure out what you were supposed to buy? I can't think of anything that would be close to pos adv.
No, our house is still sadly lacking (or not so sadly, I guess) in "Pos. Adv."
