Is there a gender-neutral word for "king or queen"? The only thing I can think of is "ruler," which doesn't really convey that I mean royalty and not just whoever happens to be in charge.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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

I looked in the back yard and Mr Peabody appeared to be presiding over a large, gruesome kill, possibly featuring intestines. A closer look revealed that he'd snuck a red stuffed toy outside and disemboweled it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The mom and dad just each changed their relationship status to single. I won't see any of them until tomorrow, but I'm filled with wtf.
I've seen that happen. On the one hand, I think it's a way to let everyone know at once that you're single so they can avoid all the questions and not have to repeat stories, but it can make a bunch of people wonder what they missed.
I have a friend who is going through a civil, if painful divorce. Long story as short as I can make it? After 2nd bout of cancer husband cheated with one of his actresses. Friend found out because of an abnormal pap. Other woman was at cast parties and house parties with friend and her husband in attendance. They were just going to split for a bit, but she feels husband has become this weird dudely kind of guy. Plus she's in the arts community so she's running into everyone involved all the time, and they have couple friends where the guy is his best friend and the girl is hers.
Funny thing is? When I saw the status change. I kinda knew what was behind it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Here's a great song for all of you Amy, Aimees out there. Although it's spelled Amie. I could not listen to this for a year after my niece Amy died but now it's kind of wonderfully sad, if you know what I mean.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
DJ - it is going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Of the 7 folks in the family, 5 of them take karate and the dad is an assistant instructor. I have never felt any discord between them but if I hadn't known they were a couple, I doubt I would have put them together either.
I feel like such a nosy-body, wanting to know what happened. I just worked out with the dad and his mom on Wednesday.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
Oh, Suzi, that's uncomfortable.
Scrappy, that's a lovely song. And we accept all variants on Amy here. ::nods::
