I'm in a cafe that charges $5 or $6 dollars an hour for WiFi. But I found a free WiFi network to connect to.
Why pay for the cow when you can get the cow for free. Or something.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

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

Because there is a strong social network built up around the exchange of the cow, and the cow is a long term investment.
Yes, I am writing an essay on the place of livestock in grain producing societies, why do you ask? Also, why am I even here when I should be writing it?

I think that would be a nice gift, aurelia. But sometimes it's hard to tell what will offend someone....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A peace lily would probably be a safer (more predictable) choice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
aurelia, if you think your friend would appreciate it (and aren't afraid of the inevitable rude aunt), I say go with the bamboo. It's not like it comes with mylar balloons saying GOOD LUCK@!!!

Would this [link] be a tacky bereavement gift?
A friend got me a subscription to Suicide Girls recently to cheer me up when another friend died. That's not for everyone though.
I think the bamboo is a lovely idea, and if you think she'd appreciate it, you probably know better than we do.

Woohoo on the baby cousin! And the photo credit made me do a doubletake until I realized that ITA meant International Tennis Association, and not ita.
