Get started on "up to."
"Up to" can mean zero. As in "You can make up to $50,000 in a month!"
Hmm, if you consider integers and not natural numbers, "up to" can mean you'd lose money in a month too.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It is hot and I have accomplished yard work. I think this means I get to go to the movies and sit inside a cool theater.

Yes. I thought I was going to get to read a big rant, though. This was like "Don't get me started on 'up to' or my inner crank may go all the way up to rant."

Sorry to disappoint. Too hot to rant anyway.
That's a weird word, disappoint. I don't know about you, but I say dis·a·point, but dictionary dot com says dis·ap·point. It's that second syllable and the second 'p' that gets me.
Well, in fairness, it's appoint's fault... disappoint is just a dysfunctional co-dependant.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
To continue the Frappe/Milshake discussion, I have Mayan Chocolate ice cream, NF milk, and refrigerated brewed decaf. Good milkshake makings, or no?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
absosmurfly. if you add only a little milk and crushed ice and you basically have a mocha blast.

Cool. I even have ice, so that works

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had an "up to" discussion with my boss yesterday. She was spelling it as one word, upto. I had just edited two articles whrein the author had done the same thing. Where did that even come from?
I don't know from a frappe, but I've gotta get me some Mayan Chocolate. Wonder if it's worth putting on pants and going to the store?

In Greensboro, there was a drive thru burger place that made the most awesome shakes, CookOut? They had a huge board that listed all the possible flavors. You could mix any number of items. I used to get a espresso chocolate malt shake, back when I could eat ice cream. They also had seasonal flavors like watermelon, pumpkin and egg nog. The latter was quite rich.
It's hot. AC completely quit while I was out and was blowing 90 F air. BAD AC.
But I now have a chicken burrito thing topped liberally with guac and real lime popsicles in the freezer for dessert. I still hate the layout of TJs and the parking is bad (unless you are SANE and just park further away, which coincidentally, it under trees) but LIME POPSICLES. And cheap guac.

I have some LIME popsicles too. They are the yum.
