I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I type the opposite of Sophia, mostly with my right hand with occasional contributions from my left. I have been on the shrunken keyboard on my laptop for so long, though, that I'm not sure what I do to shift. I seem to be using my left ring finger, for some reason.

I never learned the home keys and all that, but last time I did a speed test I found I typed 65 WPM, which seemed surprisingly fast to me.

I plan on having tomato soup for lunch, which I expect to be neither hot nor sour. Except for the heat of being warmed on the stove.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm a right-pinky shifter. I type much faster on keyboards other than this one -- it doesn't matter how much I use one or the other, I just don't like Mac keyboards. They're too small and unresponsive.

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

I just don't like Mac keyboards. They're too small and unresponsive.

My fave keyboard is the Microsoft "Natural" keyboard, but I love the feel of the keys on the Mac white keyboards. (I had a Bluetooth one, but it died. It was perfect for typing on my lap while watching TV.)

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Wait, did that happen to ita too?

Rio, no. But it was more of a pain management thing. I agree, Jesse, so scary.

Now my radio is talking Reggaeton.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I have like a primal shudder reaction to the spinal-fluid thing. Like, it Just Should Not Be.

Yep. I feel the same way. It's Just Wrong.

BTW, thanks for the panda link Tai Shan walking is just so cute I almost can't stand it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I had the spinal fluid leak thing when I fractured my skull. It is less than fun.

You guys! Keep your bodily fluids where they belong, please!!!! Also, I suggest less fracturing of skulls.

Sheesh, people.

I think we need to start handing out those padded helmets.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This story is secondhand: One time (my) Bob was talking to someone who had worked at a fast food outlet. He told Bob that he would never eat there again because [w/f for gross] every body fluid you can imagine was at one time deposited into someone's food. And Bob immediately responded, "Even spinal fluid?!?" The storyteller had to admit he hadn't thought of that one.
