[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Looks like I'm being identity thefted!

Got a call from someone claiming to be Nextel. "Are you Trudy Booth?" "Did you get a phone in pennsylvania and start making a bunch of international calls?" "Does your SSN end in __ __ __ __?"

So... either I've been thiefed or someone is trying to thief me. Greaaaaat.

So, now I get the list from the guy at work who know who all I call (credit bureaus, Nextel, whatever cops...). This is SUCH DAMN FUN!!!!

The status is NOT quo.

Oh NO! Trudy, that sucks. Best luck catching the bastard.

OK, baby safely in bed and away from keyboard.

Crap Trudy! Hopefully it will get sorted out with no pain on your end and a lot of pain on his/hers.

Cass, glad to hear Kittenish is doing better, poor thing.

And how awesome to have a good mechanic, sj

We received instructions from Washington today that we shouldn't use "little" as a modifier in reports. Instead, we should use "some." Apparently the braintrust thinks that "little" sounds "murky." Ex: "The Government of Greece plans to offer little some resistance to Turkey's inclusion in the EU."

Now, aside from that changing the whole meaning of the sentence, who has time to sit around and come up with these rules?

They actually think that "some" is less murky than "little"? ugh.

Ah, the rules of diplomacy...international incidents waiting to happen.

Some v. little resistance. Yup. Vastly different meanings.

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

Some is murkier. I mean, it's either some or none or total, right? At least little has none, lots, and entire to go with.

I agree.

However, my response was to globally replace "little" with "murky."
