An apology to Fish_Whisperer

actually, other than the improper use of semicolons, your sentence is a fine one, and not at all a run-on....

So if I understand correctly, you're buying, right?

actually, other than the improper use of semicolons, your sentence is a fine
one, and not at all a run-on.

it consists of a dependent clause ("Since it's .... the whole thing")
followed by an independent clause ("then I'll chime .... three years old").

a run-on sentence is either a comma splice (two independent clauses
separated by a comma) or a fused sentence (two independent clauses
without separating punctuation).

but (yes, there's a but) you don't want a semicolon between a dependent
and an independent clause. you need two independent clauses to separate
them with a semicolon.

Or, you can separate the two independent clauses with a comma, provided there is a conjuction.

I think you are stuck in a classic Freudian stage, and it ain't oral.
