If you have bifocals, does that change the recommendation? Not that I do, but I'm guessing if you have to look through the bottom of your glasses to see the screen...well, maybe you could just get reading glasses or something, but.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

I used to hold my head at an angle because I wore trifocals, and it gave me a very painful neck. I had the middle part of the prescription made into computer glasses.

ION, why the heck is Laura Bush giving the press update on Burma? Has she done this before?

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
This Monday refuses to give in. I don't know how I shall survive doing data entry for the next three and a half hours. My brain is melting out of my ear. *sob*
Make it go by faster?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wasn't at work today, and now I'm scared I'm going to have the day you all have been having today tomorrow. I'm also scared that it's going to be one of those five-days-of-work-in-four-days kinds of weeks. Great.
I'm back in my own home, and I really need to go to the drugstore, but now I really don't want to.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
For God's sake Jesse don't leave the house. Take it from those of us who have already made that mistake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Last numbers I saw on Myanmar were 13,000. How terrifying. Wait--Burma? Myanmar? Is there a hard and fast right answer?
Scarlett Johanssen engaged to RYAN REYNOLDS???? That might just kill my crush on him.

I need to get some plumber's tape on my way home. And I also need to find my big frying pan. It is currently lost and is making me sad. Painting the living room next weekend. Would any rich Buffistas like to buy me two new living room chairs? Anyone? Any rich Buffistas wanna help me out? Hm?
Yeah. Doesn't hurt to try.

Holy fuck. According to the nifty and terrifying college savings calculator , I need to save $670/month for the next 18 years to pay for college for one kid who is 13 months old.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Newsies are all over the map on the Burma/Myanmar question. Yesterday I heard the generalist newsreader on the Beeb say "Yangon" about thirty seconds before the local correspondent said "Rangoon." They work for the same company! They should have a style guide!
OTOH, I prefer Burma, because at least then my local TV news would not mispronounce it at MY-yan-mar.
