'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also out sick today. Been fighting a cold or some similar ick, and the cold/ick won.
OTOH, I think I scored some fun drugs out of it.
Closer to topic, I had a college roommate who was pre-dental. Also into bodybuilding, so built like a linebacker. Another friend TA'ed him in a lab-type class, told me roommate screamed at the sight of blood.
She'll dissect freshly killed rats without a second thought, but my seven millionth blood draw freaks her out.
Am now picturing your mom twirling the rats by the tails to distract herself from your blood draw.
it seems to be the redheaded stepchild to "preventive".
I know! The definitions are all "What the fuck are you doing here? Go look up a real word!"
Uh...there was something else. But preventative has eaten my brain.

Going to her happy place, you mean?
I wish I would've had the sense to call out from work today. Instead, after two days of meetings, we've finally come to the consensus that fire alarms will now be called Life Safety alarms.
When I was in the Navy, I did a lot of "preventative maintenance." Whether or not it's wrong, it didn't stop us from doing it anyway. That whole phrase just never looked right from the gitgo.
"Preventive" is the correct one, but "preventative" gets more play just from misuse spreading, like "a whole nother."

IMDB says Hayden Church is playing Venom in Spidey 3.
Venom? VENOM? VENOM?
Don't get me wrong; I love Venom, and as long as it's done well (and I have no reason to think it won't be, since 1 and 2 were so good), it could kick serious ass.
But -- what about Harry finding the Green Goblin Craxy Supply Warehouse? What about one-armed Dr. Connors???
Ignore me. I'll be over here getting my geek on.
1 and 2 were so good
?!
Okay, so I never saw the first one, but I mocked the 2nd one mercilessly.
I just had cause to use the phrase "the law peeps got your back, yo".
Can I be sent home sick too??
(No, not in a work context, although I've been Miss Logorrhea all day.)
Can I be sent home sick too??
No
Interesting skyline ranking, though like Sail, I think there is an asthetic factor that is not being considered. Not that I'm sure how to take it into consideration.
