If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, now I'm tempted to go back and look just to see how bad it could be.

Oh, it's that bad.

I need new glasses too, but who knows when I'll get to that. They should be able to fix that for you, Jesse.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I am theoretically all about the "save the curse words for when they're really effective." And then you get me driving and I become Expletive Queen.

I am sure the Amazing Wonder Niece is all ears, waiting for me to break out the four-letter words on visits.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The AWN seems to be quite the language sponge.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

my eyeballs are too close to the inside of the glasses, if that makes any sense.

My eyelashes sometimes hit the lenses of my glasses. Of course, it could just mean I need my eyelashes trimmed.

Gronk^∞ No caffeine yet. I think I might not be at work, but instead home dreaming this. If so, it's a crappy dream.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My eyelashes sometimes hit the lenses of my glasses. Of course, it could just mean I need my eyelashes trimmed.

Nuh uh! Long lashes are excellent! I meant from side-to-side, though. Looking at my face straight on, there is more of the lens on the outside (toward my ears) than the inside (toward my nose) on either side of my eyeballs.

Why is stainless steel nonferromagnetic?

Probably because of the added chromium they put in it.

Now I'm curious as to what makes iron magnetic.

(I read an article [link] about accidents caused by ferromagnetic metals being pulled in to the powerfull magnets in M.R.I. machines.)

Here's a cite on the stainless steel thing, although even to me it's like "blah blah blah blah blah blah nickel blah blah blah blah chromium blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah magnetic blah blah blah blah." Apparently some stainless steel can conduct magnetism. [link]

Interesting.

I suppose I should do some work here....
