The status is NOT quo.

I am chilly this AM. Getting ready to go to breakfast. I need to figure out what, except for yoga, i'm doing today.

I think you should come teach my ninth grade classes.

I forgot to go to sleep last night, until about 1:30, for the second or third night in a row.
Lee is me, only make that 3AM. I think it was mainly stress, but this morning was not pretty.
Hate it when I do that.
Me too.

Right. Because in the case where you'd use "which" to refer to an animal or thing, you'd use "who" to refer to a person. That's not a which/that distiction.

Actually… t puts English teacher hat on the Modern Language Association says that it is fine to use “that” for people now. Yes, it sounds impersonal and dehumanizing and isn’t a choice I would usually make, but it is technically (grammatically) correct.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My dad always tells me stories about how their milk cow would get into a patch of wild onions and that was the WORST tasting milk he'd ever had. Not only was their milk unpasturized, it was pretty much unrefrigerated because they didn't have electricity (kept the milk in the well).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Mac, Diet Coke, boxers.

Windows, Coke, briefs.

Do we need to throw down? I'll let it go if you will.

Bring it, science-writer guy! I'll edit you until you beg for mercy!

....that *is* what you meant, right?

t runs away

Unrelated to me kicking P-C's ass fiercely editing P-C's writing....

Is it just me, or did Ugly Betty jump the shark last night?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

so apparently i'll be in San Francisco April 2nd through the 7th or 8th. my sister's company is having a conference and she wants to go, but she doesn't want to go alone and she really wants to bring the kids. so 2 of those days will be spent baby-sitting, but the rest will be all of us trying to find things to do.

there's quite a few Bay Area-istas, aren't there? what should i do while i'm there? Alcatraz, is obvious. as is the Golden Gate Bridge, but what else? i've never been. i'm kind of excited...yay NorCal!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Is it just me, or did Ugly Betty jump the shark last night?

Very possibly, yeah.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Diet Coke with Lime! Boxer-briefs!

I knew there was a reason I liked Jesse.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

so apparently i'll be in San Francisco April 2nd through the 7th or 8th.

I haven't made any definite plans, but I'm pretty sure I'll be in SF in that timeframe, too.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Does anybody have an answer to my tax question?

Also, I don't understand the thread name. What does it mean? As long as I'm asking stuff.
