seemed to translate directly to "consumption without thinking of the consequences".
It's scared a lot of us too, for exactly the same reason.
See? Somebody mucked with time in 2000 and this is the consequence. I blame Captain Janeway.
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

[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.

Oh. Thanks for the info, Fay.
It also appears like my soon-to-be-ex-company laid me off, along with 25% of its employees. That, mind you, just when they signed several contracts in millions of dollars. Because they can (that's not being said with a stinkeye vibe - I honestly believe business are business, as long as the company doesn't fake the "we're family!" shitty vibe. There's only so much hypocrisy I can handle).
Also, grammar question: after semicolon or colon, do I need to capitalize? It's been bothering me for weeks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Capitalize after a colon, but not after a semicolon.

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.

Emily's got the right of it. It bugs the hell out of me that some jackass in a power suit who cannot even pronounce 'nuclear' has co-opted our self-image as a country and perverted into something that allows for justifying torture by lying about terrorists to conceal lust for oil and money. And then condemn those who disagree with those methods as unpatriotic or weak.

The Scola to the rescue. Thanks!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Not always. Like in Shir's question --

"after" should not be capitalized.

OK. Now I need more information. Why is that?
(You see? Hebrew is so much more simple in those case. We don't have to deal with capitalization. It's all either in "capitalized" fonts (used mostly for publications of most sorts), and the "non-capitalized" fonts, used for handwriting. And they don't mix).

not your mom's socks.
In good news, I get to see Sox & family this weekend. My DH invested in new balloons (for balloon animals) in the hope that Iris would ask him for one or two or ten.
Grins. He'd better bank on 10.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, I went to physical therapy this morning. Was OK, I guess. Worked on loosening up the muscles around my shoulder, because I've been tensing them to guard my shoulder joint, and I need to be able to move them freely before I can really work on anything else.
