There is a NYT op-ed that is making me seethe today. I can't imagine what Lily Ledbetter must be feeling.
Which one, Sparky? I could do with a good seething.
Bunnies frighten me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Semi-colons have a use in sentences, especially with lists, but I think they're ugly and think that a sentence should be split into two instead of being joined with a semi-colon. To me, using a semi-colon is just showing off that you know how to use that particular punctuation mark and that you don't care about the esthetics of a sentence and being as clear as possible to the reader."
Now I want to send her an email with as many semi-colons as possible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure what that means in this context, but it sounds good.
The doctors and nurses swear my pain management doctors have created a pain contract for me in the ER, and that they must follow that to the letter. No such thing ever happened, because my pain management doctors refuse to prescribe me any sort of medication (don't ask, I can't answer). But when a doctor/nurse is feeling balky, they cite some magic document. My migraine specialist has finally found this document, and I hope he can exercise some degree of control over it. I can't bargain on cool nurses like last week.
If I hadn't had such a decent ER experience Sunday morning, there's no way I could work after two nights of such poor sleep. My head is killing. I just really need to drag myself through every day this week.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I really am the whiniest sick person ever.
OOOH, a challenge!

I join your seethe, Sparky. Equal pay for equal work - how hard is that to understand?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A few miles from my apartment, a business had half of its roof blown off.
I was surprised to see all that on the news last night. It rained here, but I didn't notice any crazy wind.

What if I have two independent clauses that have a lot in common and want to be joined together? Why can't they express related idea love?
