I wondered why I was being charged 90¢ extra for the brown sugar for my porridge (which isn't Cream of Wheat, but I can't be arsed--it's mostly white), and then I tasted it. Yup, that's about how much sugar they put in. Next time, nowt.

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

Good grief, that's expensive sugar.
The internet is randomly broken, interfering with both work and avoidance. Annoying.

Hivemind question:
20 mpg or 20 MPG?
I think I've mostly seen it lower case. I think.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY for good Teddy news! I hope the trend continues.
Sumi, that was the feeling I got too. I haven't had a chance to read the blogs yet. I'll have to do that when I get to work.
bon bon, I would go see a doctor and do a thorough clean of your bed and sheets. It sounds like either the bites might be getting infected, or you are allergic, and in either case they might get worse.

I think of it in upper case.
That was way too much sugar.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think I always see it in lowercase.
That was way too much sugar.
No such thing. My left over cereal bowls always look like low tide.

I used to sweeten a bowl of Corn Flakes with a Frosted Flake. I'm handicapped like that.
Also, delicate.

This bug bite has swelled to the size of two bloated half-dollars. It's taking up half my hand and stretching my skin. And I've got another one on my other hand, now!

20 mpg or 20 MPG?
MPG. It's an acronym. Well, not technically, but close enough.

Well, not technically, but close enough.
It's not really that close. It's an initialism. Which leaves one with little or no style guidelines--initials are the case of the original words, except when they're not.
Style guide!
(I'm imagining a Buffista style guide. What a lengthy and internally inconsistent thing that would be)
