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

I wasn't cheery for a LONG time, even though I was better.

It comes and goes, but over the last 6 months, I am freaking my long-time friends with how HAPPY I generally am. In a good way, but I AM more cheerful.

Shit still happens, and I've gone through a lot of shit and experimenting and stuff, but it CAN happen. I'm sure I'll cycle through some life shit, but I feel SO much better equipped to deal with it than I did even 2 years ago, it's amazing to me.

BTW, can someone re-post the TAL link for that story? I've looked and am getting no love.

Part 2 is the part to which we are referring. I liked Part 1 as well, but Part 2 made me scream.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Grammar check? "The data are augmented" or "The data is augmented"?

Because books.

"The data is" in that construction, Allyson.

What if the data is coming from multiple sources? It sounds ridic to say that it is plural.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"Data" are plural though. Almost always.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Data is the plural of datum, so, even though it sounds weird, it takes a plural verb. Doesn't stop people from using the singular verb, even scientists.

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

Things that keep getting worse: the Fresh Air Fund has notified the police that Sandusky hosted at least one kid, and possibly several. (They know that he hosted one in the nineties, and they think he might have hosted others in the seventies, but they need to go through their old records to figure that out.)
