I have never figured out what some women do in the bathroom. I have stood waiting outside a stall for 10 minutes. Are they changing their identities?
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My great great grandmother refused to ever wear anythign other than long skirts without undies (or so the story goes, I imagine she wore a blouse of some sort as well), because she so cherished the ability to squat in a field.
We're a refined and dignified people.

On a completely different topic, how many words to a page would you ballpark for single-spaced 12-point Times New Roman on 8.5x11 paper? I'd always thought 500 or so, but my new boss keeps saying something much higher, and I don't want to argue with her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Are they changing their identities?
Well, now that they've taken out all the phone booths...

I know I'm usually the one who answers these questions, but...
I'm looking at a job listing where applicants are instructed to email resumes to jim@whatever.org. I've been poking around the website, but haven't been able to determine the last name and title of Jim. So do use the salutation "Dear Jim" or "To Whom It May Concern"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think you're right, LJ -- I just did a page count on a not-very-full page like that and got 445.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Are they changing their identities?
And even easier now that there's WiFi in there.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
My great great grandmother refused to ever wear anythign other than long skirts without undies (or so the story goes, I imagine she wore a blouse of some sort as well), because she so cherished the ability to squat in a field.
My Anthropology Prof. loved to use the example of some culture where the men wore something sarong-y (long & tightly wrapped) that required them to sit/squat to pee and the women wore looser skirts (I think), so could just stand over the hole to go - as an example of just 'cuz you think something is a hard-and-fast man v. woman rule, it ain't necessarily so.
Looking back over what I copied and what I typed, I no longer remember why I thought they were related. But what the heck, interesting factoid!

Probably not much higher, but I can buy higher. The standard estimate for doublespaced Courier 12 is 250, and TNR gives you significantly more words per page than Courier, so I can see singlespaced being up to around 600.
