DO NOT. You've just extended the happy feeling your best friend gets from having people say Happy Birthday for a week! GO YOU!

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[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.

Senate bill 160 affects... or effects... mortgage brokers?
The stupid has taken over my brain!

Affects.
This is probably too idiosyncratic to help anyone else, but I always think "You affect something to produce an effect and A is before E." Written down, that looks weirder than it is in my head.

I think my brain may be fried. This is what I just wrote about meaning-making:
Does this convey meaning? Does this convey the meaning I am trying to convey? Does this convey the meaning of my paper for Computers and Humans rather than my assignment for Advanced Composition? Where is my brain? Oh, yeah. Meaning.

Gah. Thanks Ginger. I used affects and Word wanted to add a comma after, and suddenly it was all some other language.

vw, that sounds like the Dr. Suess version of your paper.
I'm punchy enough that I want to have one of the subheads for the article I'm writing for a very sedate and stodgy magazine to be "You don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

Hec - So, I guess the Jesus look is over for Damon, eh? Or did he get a special clause in his contract?
If Randy Johnson and Jason Giambi had to clean up, then Damon certainly will. Remember the last time he had short hair and was clean shaven he played for the A's and had the worst year of his career.

Go with it, Ginger. My father, a stodgy civil engineer writing for an even stodgier civil engineering journal once titled an article (in the Latin) "We Came, We Saw, We Dug." It was so unusual to see him make a joke, and in his work, that I fell off my chair laughing. The point being, you'll make someone's day with a good laugh.

Did you see that Dotel also signed with the Yanks?
eta - my occasionally frustrating contract manager (one of the ones being a PIA about my promotion) just brought in burbon balls and other assorted cookies. The day is looking up.

I have seven more concepts to write about. And I have to get in the shower and go to work. Oh, how I don't want to go to work! But the Chancellor is coming in for a meeting today, and we all have to be there. What a dumb day he picked.
