They shall take away my two spaces after a period when they pry them from my cold, dead keyboard.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, the upshot is, be safe, people! And pack your Go Bag!

I showed Hubby that map of the fires, he looked at it a moment then tapped a section and said, "Except for that spot right there, I've fought fires in every one of those locations." He's been avoiding the news so that he doesn't have flashback nightmares.

So, I feel like I should change the topic to something more fun, but instead I'm leaving. You're on your own, people!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
More fun: I am totally voting for Hillary after that list of quotes.
“Gentlemen, I have looked at your proposal, and it’s pure bullshit! Now you’ve had your meeting! Get out!”
Now this is a candidate who finally speaks for me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Scary, Jesse, I'm glad your uncle is safe, but I'm sorry to hear about his home.

My new dilemma: Flu vaccine or not?
I'm getting one because I work in Germy McGermville and Employee Health is giving them out free to all the staff, and would get one anyway before going home to see my mom, whose chemo isn't that far behind her. So I'd definitely get one in your shoes.

Sister!
I'll do global find-and-replace when necessary to conform to a house style, but I think two spaces looks better even with proportional fonts. And I figure it's late days to break the habit of pounding the space bar twice after a period.
Yikes, Jesse!

Oh, for me, yes. No big deal. But flu vaccine for Noah? Yes or no? Isn't there some sort of big scary Autism correlation?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love those articles because my first BF had a ridiculously notable (but not at all bad) smell, and he was attractive way out of proportion to any of his other obvious characteristics. Just about every single woman that met him veered in his direction, some not even going away when they saw me.
The article links to reports that women prefer "manly" men smells, and men may prefer the smell of ovulating women which makes me wonder how sentient we really are.
I know I can find scents sufficiently distracting that I have to change and shower to get even a pleasant male smell off me. But I can't really identify women that way, except for my mother.
