That one! I go up there to try to give the artist an idea of what I want based on minimal materials and my power of description, such as it is.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Fay, glad to hear the king's much loved - not knowing much about the internal politics of Thailand (and, sadly, too many other countries) I wasn't sure. It's a good thing to know, though. May he reign happily!
On a related note, has anyone else noted how often in books the words rain, rein, and reign are used interchangeably? bah!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, Rayne mentioned that....
(sorry)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm afraid to ask, but what does "into body inflation" mean?
Maybe it's about whateverthefuck is happening to me right now, with the swollen feet and hands. A great deal of not my beautiful cake, in that case.

Are you turning blue as well? We'll have to call you Violet Beauregarde if so.
To be serious, I can't believe you've got ANOTHER mysterious ailment in your system. Not cool at all, ita's body. Not cool.

"Reign" used where "rein" is correct is nails-on-a-chalkboard for me, right up there with "tow the line" and "for all intensive purposes."

It's funny--Burrell commented on my hands a couple months ago. Said they looked younger than her son's. Now they look even younger, with their complete absence of visible veins or tendons.

For all I complain about my job, I have to share a good one....
Tomorrow is my birthday. Neither my program team, nor this office in general, celebrates birthdays - which is fine, whatever, no problem. Well, the accounting group in Boise does birthdays big for everyone. They have a whole system set-up and it is a THING. Ok, fine, whatever.
So, I just got a call from my current boss saying that while my "real life birthday" is tomorrow, my "work birthday" isn't until March when I'll be up in Boise. She didn't want me to think they were ignoring me. Not that I was concerned at all, I just think it is funny.
Now I'm wondering if I should be nervous. I've heard about some of the milestone birthday celebrations up there.

Work birthday? Heh.
I think tommyrot is right about the body inflation. I *have* seen a demonstration of a rubber suit thing that suspends you, in a cube of air thingie...it was odd.

There's a writers club at my workplace, and the current president is a champion of usage errors. I don't think he's gotten there/they're/their correct yet.
"The people next store" is one of my favorites.
