Clear writing negates the potential need for an Oxford comma.
This is correct. Superfluous punctuation in most instances...

But what if I need to say something like "I want banana, peanut butter and jelly, popcorn, and bubblegum flavor Jelly Belly beans."?

It necessitates the Oxford comma. You don't want a popcorn bubblegum flavor.

No, I'm just saying I see a need for the Oxford comma.

Normally this time of year I see a real uptick of new members at the Y I belong to. This year, not so much. A few new members, but not the "New Year's Resolution" volume I've seen in the past.

I'm not there because I bought my own gym equipment. :lol:

My wife started a Snap! membership. She's a legit competitive runner though so the timing is just a coincidence more than anything.

I was a Snap! member for years. Miss that place, my work has their own gym now - but I loved going there early in the morning or late at night and being by myself.

That's one of the things I lost by moving to this new job. The federal building doesn't have a gym.

I've worked out at home all this week in hopes that by next week the gym will be back to normal and not over run with new people. I have nothing against them... everyone has to start sometime, but yeah.

Haha. I pretty much zone out when I go there anyways cause i have headphones on, but when it's crazy packed it just annoys me. Especially when people do dumb things. Like come up and take the bike right next to me even though there is a whole row of bikes to use....drives me insane. I once had an old couple surround me.. one took the bike on my right, one took the bike on my left.. and left me in the middle... all of this when there were two bikes side by side readily available in another spot.

I appreciate the resolutioners that stick with it, but I loathe the ones that just go for two weeks and make the gym a living hell.

Today, Mrs Tif booked us a tour of the Anchor Brewery. Except when we got there, what she actually booked (quite by accident) was a tasting in the Anchor distillery. Which is not beer.

3 gins, a vodka, and two whiskeys. I can't feel my face.
