Yup, monistat chafing relief. Bargain of the year! If you can find it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Because books.
Thank you! I'll look for it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Meanwhile, I'm getting nervous waiting for the vet to call me to come get my cat -- she wanted to do some tests, so I left him there. Poor cat.

I'm just amused because I grew up and live in states with open container laws. When I went to London I was startled by the masses of people drinking on the sidewalk. The only place I'd seen people do that was the Las Vegas strip.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm amazed by how smart...and persistent we are. Especially about language...our medium of connection.
Not to throw a grenade, but the conversation of think/thing (In the interest of full disclosure, I'm in the thing camp), reminded me of the first time I heard someone say "Sort of speak" versus "So to speak."
My reaction was actually physical. I had to delve pretty deep to figure out why I cared so much. The answer was complex and interesting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And now for something completely different: watches!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I need to find a cute, cool geeky tank and a sexy skirt for my 40th bday party.
Oh, and to fan the flames:
Is it "I haven't the foggiest notion" or "I haven't the vaguest notion?"
My mom said foggiest, and I did too, till I went to college and switched to vaguest.
Discuss. Kerfuffle. Whilst I edit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm of the opinion that multiple similar-sounding idioms are not a real problem. Thing/think can coexist, and so can foggiest/vaguest.
