There is literary precedent for that. Ahab says it about the whale: "He tasks me."And the precedent should be there to teach us that this is Not Good.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So don't ask me about war, religion or god, love, sex or death
Well, there goes my question about my idea for a Teletubbies movie.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Just back from hospital - Em's fever shot up to 103.3. She has a virus and the beginnings of an ear infection.

Poor Em and poor sleep-deprived Aimee.

Aww, you poor kids. You know a Motrin and Benadryl cocktail will knock her ass out for about five hours. And it's completely safe.

There is literary precedent for that. Ahab says it about the whale: "He tasks me."
And it's in the sense of "he instructs me to do something" or something along those lines? Not "he burdens me"?
Anyway, I can no longer flinch at tasking when there are people in the world who say incent.

I hope Em feels better soon, Aimee.

Thanks guys.
David, I'm hoping the amox knocks her out. But, Joe's on Em-duty once he gets back from Rite-Aid.
