Hang in there msbelle.
OMG, my proofer thinks you can't split an infinitive or end a sentence with a preposition. So she keeps wanting to change things like "What do you want to talk about?" to "About what do you want to talk?".
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, I'm so glad you found your cat and nearby, tommy.

That, of course, is the kind of thing up with which you should not put.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just got back from getting dinner. Was sorta' hit by a car on my way back. I'm uninjured, but very angry.
I was walking down Sheridan (busy four-lane street) and crossing a sidestreet (I had a walk signal) when a guy comes down the sidestreet and rolls right through the crosswalk, even though I'm directly in front of him. I turn toward the car and then try to run backwards as the car keeps on going. I lose my balance, end up with my hands on the car's hood, running backwards until the car finally stops. Two other people almost got hit too.
The guy was all apologetic and whatnot. I told him to try looking directly in front of him while he drives.

shrift, if you're looking at ridiculous computers, we love Falcon Northwest. Their tech support is like calling up the angels in heaven.
Oh, my god, don't tempt me. I'm going to get addicted to gaming again, aren't I? This could be bad. I mean, how much more nerdy can I get before it upsets the balance of the universe?

Our wings are not tired.
Tommy, that could have been tragic. WTFF?? That guy got off easy.

Also, dang, tommyrot! I'm glad you're okay. And you remind me that now is the time of year in Chicago when pedestrians need to start fearing for their lives.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, tommy, I'm so glad you're okay. That's terrifying.

Damn, tommyrot! You're having a hell of a day.
