Thanks, Allyson. I've seen it left out more than not and started to wonder why.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't it pretty formal? Gender issues aside, my mother doesn't go by Dr. unless it's directly related to her research. My sister goes by it even more rarely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I think a lot of people with non-medical doctorates don't care so much outside of the academic setting. Or inside it, for that matter.

I have vague memories of modes of address that say if it's a professional situation, then Dr. is used, but if you were addressing a social invite, then Mr./Mrs./Ms. is correct. But I have no cite for this at the moment except my wee brain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hivemind question: Where is that toast smell coming from?

From the toaster?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I got to the airport really early. My flight looks to be really late.
Oh well.

There's no toaster here. Unless there's a toaster upstairs and the smell is getting down here.
So far there's no smoke or fire, so I guess I'm safe for the moment....

Skipping--again-sigh in order to post something that's not even for today, but for tomorrow, when I won't have any computer access: according to the Buffista Calendar, tomorrow, the 25th, will be Jessica and Fone Bone's anniversary, so early wishes for them both!
