My sister is having a horrendous day with her asthma - already been to the doctor today - and now a house on her street is on fire. She says that outside it's all smoky, and inside it's like having a big fire in the fireplace - which happens to be one of her big triggers. So some breathing-ma would not go amiss tonight.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Weird, random question, since Word is apparently very confused. Is it "well-being" or "well being" because Word thinks both are wrong and keeps suggesting the other one whenever I change it.

M-W online says well-being. I agree.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, being that it's Word....
(sorry)
Metra trains let you have open containers of alcohol.

That's what I had first. Thanks.

No need to apologize. Not the first time I've had it do this to me. There's a bunch of compound words that it does this with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"If you're walking around with a steaming hot coffee on the 5 or the 4 train at 8:30 a.m., I would hope to hell the cop would give you a summons because you have no right to do that. It's not right and it's not courteous to your fellow passengers," said MTA Chairman Peter Kalikow.
Has Peter Kalikow never bought coffee to go? Is he unaware of the plastic lids?

Oh, and I think Word just has stuff that they always want you to check -- depending on the usage, you might want "well being" or "well-being." (Or "Well, being....")

No need to apologize.
Well, I was more apologizing (to all) for the bad joke.
Also, thanks JenP and everyone else.
In the last day or two, it hasn't gotten any worse. Also, to some extent I've gotten used to it. Before I was constantly blinking, because the blurriness kept on making me think I had something in my eye. (For a while I felt like things would be easier if I wore an eye patch.) Still seems to be a limit on how long I can stare at a computer screen, however.
