'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The NYTimes would use the apostrophe there, I think.
I sit at Panera all summer! I have no shame. Plus the Panera guy told us we could just sit in the Panera parking lot at all hours and didn't need to come in to buy stuff to assuage our corporate guilt.
Nice. I came home, mostly so I could take off my good clothes.
I miss Panera. Soup and bread and coffee and wi-fi. It's like a little piece of heaven with bagels and muffin tops.

Go, Seanie, go! I just quit myself two weeks ago. The first week is a beeyotch.
Two potential strategies for you to use or ignore at your choosing:
1) Count your cravings. That helped me get some distance from them and see how they were decreasing rapidly.
2) Imagine smoking, then what you'd do next, then skip the smoking and do the "next thing" (worked for a friend).

I got a netbook today, to take with me to my sister's tomorrow. It's so cute and wee! I've named it "Chekov".
Today's xkcd: [link] The best part is, you can substitute SO MANY words/phrases for "sex" and it still works! (Like, say, "creating new threads"....)
AP Style: Apostrophe S after a single letter, e.g., "mind your p's and q's." No apostrophe for the rest, so it's IDSs. That looks very weird, but I checked and the patent office uses IDSs.
Thanks Ginger!

If that's heaven then Tony Kushner was right about San Francisco.
t quite impolite and a bit selfish Um, is it OK to pop in Natter after skipping-and-skimming to the point of understanding how lurkers-support-stuff-in-e-mail, just in order to exploit the hivemind in English grammar question(s)?
t Not closing the quite-impolite and a-bit-selfish tag, since I'm still those things
It's totally fine!!
And of all the things you are Nilly, impolite and selfish are words that don't exist.
