Trying to come up with something nice. Like, pressure is what makes diamonds.
Maybe keep it succinct like that.
Or say "Pressure is what makes diamonds. Of course it also makes toothpaste squirt out of a tube, so there you go."
My food is problematic.

[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Barb, clearly you are wise. And this is why you are a parent, and not I.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I love Bitches' parenting, and I love how Bitches got Bitches' backs. I swear by all that is holy, it heals some of what was messed up in me, seeing and hearing you get stuff right that wasn't so right when I was young.
Omnis, that is a tough situation. Here's to you and your coworkers weathering this with sanity in tact. Or at least, no further compromised than it already is.

No problem. Just a suggestion. Sometimes too much earnest diamond talk is all you get when things are down.
I guess it also depends on the person you are trying to reach.
