Me too, Victoria.

By the way, how are you doing?  Are you keeping busy still?

How about:

A. I'm talking about profit -- minus expenses -- freight, that sort of thing.

Hmm. Maybe not.  But I think it looks odd with just the commas.

How would you punctuate this sentence?  I feel like there should be something in between "expenses" and "freight."

TIA

Thanks, Michelle, I had the rule backwards in my head, LOL...

According to the experts:  And I also contacted State Farm, the representative, Amy Smith, and left a message requesting a return phone call.

Is this an instance where there would not be commas around "Amy Smith" since there is only one representative?
TIA

And, I mean, I remember, you know, the staff members all saying, you know, well, I could go tell Sam, but nothing is going to happen. So it's kind of like why bother?

So my question is what is the correct way to punctuate the "why bother"? Colon or comma before and what is the rule?
TIA
