SO repealing today.
Woke up. Household tally: One son throwing up for second day, one daughter feeling malade for second day, me with migraine.
Today? So over it.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

The only problem with repealing today is that I am going to be just as tired in a redo.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm more than half through today. Tomorrow is car tune-up, so I leave work early (and cost of tune-up is covered by warranty).
Can I take a make-up repeal on Thursday?

SO repealing today.
I read this as "Significant Other repealing today." and thought that that was an unusual way to describe a relationship breakup.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can I take a make-up repeal on Thursday?
Sure. We're not inflexible.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Can we just skip today, instead of repealing? I don't like the idea of a redo either.

No, you can have my SO when you pry him from my cold dead fingers. (Poor SO.)

I'm out of here early, too, so I can pick up my NEW CAR!! Of course, I'll be crying when my first new car payment is due, so the excitement is going to be short-lived.
I did get a very nice '06 Civic, with a moonroof and everything, so I'm pretty happy with the deal. (Smartest thing I did was walk into the dealership with a financing offer from LendingTree, which the dealer ended up matching and cutting the cost of the car by a grand to get it to the approved loan amount. Considering that the Civics are selling like mad, deals on them are few and far between.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I loved my Civic unreasonably, especially the moonroof. Congratulations on the new car and the deal.
Today was a choice between no pain and no brain. Am dumb now.
Happy Birthday, sumi!

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Winkles are mussels, so a winkle picker is something pointy enough to pry open a mussel.
Not quite. A winkle-picker is even metaphorically pointier than that. A winkle (short for periwinkle) is smaller than a mussel and lacks the convenient pryability of the mussel's bivalves.
Which is a long way of saying that the pointiness required to pick out the winkle is pointy to the pointy extreme. I think that was my point.
