Do they, like, crash into stationary objects while walking across rooms?Standing. Right. HERE.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My boss uses speech software a lot of the time. Occasionally, this leads to hilarious mistranslations.
Sadly, they'd all take too much explaining to share, drat it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I just realized I need to go to bed. Ha! I have to go to work tomorrow. Heeheheheheheheheheheh.
Thank G-d! I was getting sooo bored of endless napping, reading up on online stuff, and occasional gardening.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I've owned speech recognition software of one sort or another for 10 years. I mostly don't use it because of the frustration. Plus dictation is a lot different than writing out of your head. It kinda messes with my writing style. Also you really need to learn to speak a certain way or you thrash your voice. However, since my workplace (or future workplace) is unlikely to allow me to use speech recognition software that makes it all the more important that I use it to give my hands a rest at home. I cannot keep having massively painful RSI flareups like this. Not only does it hurt like hell and cost me money (any money I have on-hand goes to triage), but it really endangers my ability to make a living. (And I typed all this myself so I could make this post somewhere before post #2645.)
Yes, speech recognition software can make some pretty hilarious mistakes.

Here they've got a McGreek (which is the McDonald's version of souvlaki and to be avoided), espresso, an interesting seafood menu for Lent, and of course, the Artery Buster Parfait.

Heh - awesome. Do they call the hamburgers "beefburgers" there? They did in Malaysia, with prominent signs that they were halal.
Also, I think we're going to Cairo in October...but you are going to be gone by then, aren't you?
Hi everybody, and joint-ma for Mom of Laura, and general Happy Tuesday-ness!

Ooh! You should try and make it to Luxor too. And go hot air ballooning over the Valley of the Kings! So very cool.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Has he ever promised a client that his support staff will be assfisting him to any extent required?

Hey, mom of Cass! So fun to have you stop by!
Can you tell her you can't make a decision right now?
That's what we did, but she sure laid on the guilt. Ugh.

Laura (who's no doubt asleep), is it Ehlers-Danlos that your family's got? Not that I have any recommendations, anyway, just curious. I know someone on lj who posts about it sometimes. I hope you find something that helps her!
