What is it about Ikea that I love?
I have no idea. truly. Half the time I want to run away without buying anything.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I once cried on the steps at Ikea. Seriously.

What is even happening?
endie things for the rods (are they called linnels?)I think they're finials.
Well, we had Chris's party (I disremember if I talked about it here or in Bitches). None of the peanut/tree nut kids had an allergic reaction. Nobody got injured. Nobody cried. Nobody got lost. Nobody threw up. And? It's over. I'm calling that a win.

I think no blood is a sure sign a kid's party went well.

Hec, they don't need to make the text smaller, just narrower. Narrower text has GOT to be better than these options.
I agree with the Adorable One on this.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I've got a copyedit issue I wanted to run by the 'fistas.
Thoughout, she capitalized the words internet and 'net.
Like so: I’m unaware of any sort of human disconnect occurring from networking software and Internet use; it was always a way to connect, for me.
And: At each place, she was welcomed by these strangers on the Net, who took time off from work and planned sightseeing tours of their home cities.
It's making me nuts. Ease my pain?

Allyson, I've seen "internet" with a lower-case "i" much more frequently than the upper-case. (That said, my company's house style is to capitalize it, and right now I can't even remember why.)
As for Net vs. 'net -- the upper-case version makes me think of a fishing net. That's why the apostrophe, duh, crazy copy editor!

(That said, my company's house style is to capitalize it, and right now I can't even remember why.)I worked somewhere that capped Website and it's taken me ages to not type that automagically still. Which is ironic cause I nearly always screwed it up when I actually worked there.
