I would like the phrase "strategic plan" to disappear from the face of the earth, please. I'm getting kind of sick of it.
While you're wishing, could you do away with proactive, teamwork and "outside the box?"

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.

Oh, and "at the end of the day." HATE that one.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
From waaay back, re: HFCS - corn subsidies over subsidies for fruit and veggies = expensive real food and cheap "food" that all contains HFCS.
A friend of mine who is allergic to corn informed me that most cottage cheese contains corn starch. Whodathunk?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Huh. I wonder what it adds? (Texture, flavor, shelf life?)

The major villian in the HFCS saga is U.S. price supports for sugar, which make sugar prices in the U.S. two to four times more than anywhere else. That's also a factor in driving U.S. candy companies to move to Canada and Mexico. Corn sugars are much cheaper. Why manufacturers want to put some kind of sweetener in almost everything baffles me, though.

move out and draw fire
What Ginger said.
I mean, I don't know a single pizza place that doesn't put HFCS in their dough.
I guess the masses just want everything really sweet.

I'm assuming it's used as a thickening agent?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I want to do away with "task" as a verb, as in, "Susan has been tasked with updating the handbook," only I'm afraid it's a battle I'm fighting alone.
But I still think it's icky.

I do not like tasked. I also do not understand the rise of "gifting" when we already had "giving."
