I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You and me, Anne. And I share your "Huh."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Fifth Doctor is a good doctor! Oh, he's no Four or Nine...well, maybe he's Nine, I just think Nine's hotter.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In the past three years, the government has provided the nation's schools with millions of pounds of beef and chicken that wouldn't meet the quality or safety standards of many fast-food restaurants, from Jack in the Box and other burger places to chicken chains such as KFC, a USA TODAY investigation found.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the meat it buys for the National School Lunch Program "meets or exceeds standards in commercial products."

That isn't always the case. McDonald's, Burger King and Costco, for instance, are far more rigorous in checking for bacteria and dangerous pathogens. They test the ground beef they buy five to 10 times more often than the USDA tests beef made for schools during a typical production day.

And the limits Jack in the Box and other big retailers set for certain bacteria in their burgers are up to 10 times more stringent than what the USDA sets for school beef.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm Ten, and I didn't skew anything. That I'm aware of. And still, fond as I am of Ten, I miss Nine, who is My Doctor, just edging out Four.

No, we need the Doctor. It's not just semantics.

Some lady I didn't know called out my haircut to her friend in the coffee nook today. Urm, you couldn't wait until I'd left, if you don't actually want to include me in the conversation? You're just loudly talking about me to my face.

On the co-workers are nice side, my whining about data issues got me given some chocolate. Some guys know what it takes to shut me up, and are willing to do it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

As in "Check out her hair,OMG that looks great on her?"

Or "OMG, CHECK out her HAIR!"

Either way, dude, gossip about co-workers sotto voce.

"See, that hair? That hair is low maintenance. I was combing LaTisha's hair..."

I'm all, dude, she saw me. You can have that convo when I'm gone. If you want to talk to me about the low maintenance nature of my hair, sure. But no, she was just yelling across me to the other lady.

Especially since you're not even "ita;" you're just "that hair."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I got the Seventh Doctor. I'm pretty comfortable with that.
