My least favorite misuse (imo) of a word is in the smoking cessation ads. "You'll be quit in a month" or whatever. No, you "will have quit." It's a verb, people.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just signed up for sailing lessons. They start next week on Saturday. Yay!
It's all part of the plan for Buffista world-domination. My part will be to set up the Buffista Navy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My newest pet peeve (I sure go through a lot of these in the course of a day): people telling me how to do my job. I know how to do it! That's why it's my job!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm pretty sure they put it that way for a reason. I.e., they can't claim you will be anything more than currently not smoking. Every time I hear that commercial I hear hours of FDA/company counsel negotiation.

Feel better Java. I know K-Bug will be bummed to miss you.
I'm working at home today and baking during my breaks. The cake recipe I have required a 1/2 cup of coffee. I have not coffee in the house, so I had to go to Panera. While I was there I grabbed a sandwich, which I totally forgot to eat. Must nom now.

We have an even better plan! I am going to meet her on the 11th at an East Bay BART stop, and take her out for a belated birthday lunch! And then drive her to her car in Alameda. I was only going to get in a brief visit tonight, so this will be much better.
And my nausea is gone now, so I am pretty sure taking the new anti-biotic on an empty stomach was the culprit.

God, that sends me into RAGE ATTACKS on a regular basis.

Oh yeah -- I'm sure what they really mean is "You will not smoke a cigarette on Day 31."

Spiffy! And I'm glad you are on the mend. I'm baking her a birthday cake. I hope it turns out ok.
