Hi Nilly!
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Hi Nilly!
I've got a bit of free time now, before I go tutor and then study and then tutor and then study and then go grocery shopping. And probably eat lunch somewhere in there.

Cass! Suela! Hil!
Now I want to ask anyone I post with "how are you?" because I have no idea about anything that's not "Beep Me"-ed.

Hi Nilly!
Stuff is plural. It's hard to have one of stuff.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Wouldn't stuff be a collective noun, with Americans treating it as if it were singular and unAmericans as if it were plural?
Hi, Nilly!

how are you?
Pretty well. Recovering from tendonitis (probably a few more days with this wrist brace, then I'll be good), studying a lot (specialty exam on June 7), very glad the semester's over (my students have their final tomorrow -- once I finish with the tutoring today, I'll be done with TA responsibilities for the semester), and mildly traumatized (article in the Washington Post about impotent college students quoted, by name, several people I know.)

Thanks, Sue!
It's hard to have one of stuff.
"Police" is plural in English, too, right (in Hebrew it's singular)? Maybe that's what confused me. And water? It's singular in English, right? Plural in Hebrew. We don't count the same, and I don't mean the whole diffferent units thing.
Also, "It's hard to have one of stuff." could begin a poem about the last leftover in the fridge or the one pea left on a plate from a meal or the ending of putting order around the house (or, well, the beginning of trying to put some order).
[No, I won't Edit. I'll just write another post.]

I'd say that "stuff" is singular. "The stuff collects in the corner," not "The stuff collect in the corner."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
In other news? That "Because daddy never hugged me/Because the more they love me the more I love myself" VW Passat commercial is creepifying and really upsetting.
I think instead of throwing away her megaphone the passenger should have shouted "Because the Passat proves we're better than the rest of you!"
Webvan might still be in business if they had the "sex" option.
Probably depends on what Webvan's drivers looked like...
