Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Am I a pretentious loser or a sociopath?
Pretty sure I can exhibit traits of both.
And, yeah, I think anyone who posts here is pretentious to some degree. But that's not a negative to me. We value knowledge and stuff.
Is winter hitting early? I swear I thought I just made dinner and want to crawl into sleep. It was 4:30. No way was pancakes a good idea. Except for how I used up a box of mix I've had in my cupboard for way too long. So my subpar pancakes tasted of buckwheat and victory.
Awesome, Connie! That's great news for you guys and must give you two a huge surge of both relief and financial ease.
Connie, are those the cards you thought had been stolen?
Yeah, they were in a binder in the garage under an alternator and some scrap metal. We are relieved not to have to peer sullenly at some of our friends any more.
Oh! And while cleaning out the garage I found a box that contains most of my genealogical research--nearly 30 years of work--and a bunch of writing that I'd been worrying about.
Cleaning the garage can be quite profitable.
whenever you have a procedure to the PTU people call you back?
No, not usually. Although I was hoping the ER would call me back today, because they did a shitload of bloodwork on me yesterday. I can only hope that means it was all normal, but if it was all normal, what explains all the stuff? I never know why all the stuff.
Many here will dig the site Coilhouse dug up on Women of the Future, as seen from 1902.

It's mid-60s through mid-70s, I think.
That's the dates I use.
And FTR I don't really think pretentious loser and sociopath are my only options. What would Jessica Rabbit say? I'm not bad, I'm just narrativized that way.

But I don't know when her surgery is, except tomorrow! GROWL.
Kat, that is super annoying!
It's mid-60s through mid-70s, I think.Me too. And I am definitely a Gen X-er. I'm pretty snobby about some things but I don't think I'm pretentious at all. Really not a sociopath (but do all sociopaths say that?!).
Poll!! Do you use 'a' or 'an' when before an acronym that begins with a letter that sounds like a vowel? For example, would you write "an MS Excel file" or "a MS Excel file?" (The Microsoft style guide says never use MS, always spell out Microsoft so they are no help in the argument I had with my coworker today.)
an
I don't know if it's correct, but I would use 'an'. It has to sound right when spoken aloud and using an 'a' in that situation would just sound wrong to me.
