This was supposed to be a blog about extracting every ounce of pleasure from life, but it seems to be, in fact, largely a dream journal with notes on baking, Trader Joe's, and celebrity chefs.

Editors, proofreaders and publishers - don't you know - writers exist to service those people, it's not the other way around at all. Know your place!
You actually look them up? I send that stuff back with comments. Am I doin it rong?
You must be the Best Proofreader Ever! Ano novo feliz, kStyle!
Bill: Complete references--too much to ask from scholar-nurses? Apparently so.
Narya: If there are 1-2 missing in a chapter, I look them up. If the whole chapter's references are incorrect, I just flag it. I also check all the URLs and flag the incorrect ones. That said, I proofread fast after spending 7 years in the biz, so I'm still making about $30/hr on this.
Larry: You're too kind! Feliz ano novo a voce, tambem!
