"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
It sounds like a vacuum cleaner commercial.
"Nobody does the cleaning like it! Best results guaranteed!"
(I was about to write "Nobody does the sucking like a woman", but, you know, I'm just shooting my own leg).
Interesting enough, in Hebrew the expression (came from a poem, I think), very loosely and literally translated as "Devil didn't create yet the revenge for a child's blood". No woman involved there.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yay! Someone just canceled a meeting I was going to have to hustle to be on time for. Also one of six meetings on the calendar today, so a good thing even if I wasn't a lazy slacker.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
would so much like another day off. mac expressed what I think we are all feeling as he pouted on the walk to school, proclaimed to hate said school, and also had strong words for the rain. He summed it up with " I will NOT have a good day."

Oh msbelle, I almost clapped my hands to mac's words.
Your stories might change my opinion about being a child, Buffistas.

Neither. I used to associate childhood with unhappiness, almost to a Dickens' level of unhappiness. You know, like most people associate high school with hell.
Your children change my mind about it. Now I think about childhood in an Angel level of true happiness.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
