No, although it's often more subtle than that.
"Catcalling on the street is not that big a deal - it doesn't happen that often, and anyway you should be flattered, not threatened."
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd go home sick now if I felt safe driving.
There are a set of questions they ask every time I go into the ER. I don't know how many "yes" answers flip the red flag (The last doctor, when I was admitted--she tried to trick me. Some of the standard questions are "does this sound/feel the same on both sides?" She didn't touch me or make the sound on both sides. Which struck me as kind of bitchy, because if I was deaf/numb on one side, she wouldn't necessarily be able to tell.) Anyway, one of them is about being numb, and my fingers are definitely in that midspace between tingly and numb right now. And stuff just hurts.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Or am I misunderstanding mansplaining?
Hopefully some guy will be able to lay it out for you, Steph.
That's what I live for.

Balls, I just embarrassed the hell out of the contractor. It's not her fault that My Nemesis refuses to pass me information or documents relevant to my program, and instead gives them to the contractor to do. Pity I can't tell the contractor to pass them over to me, though.

BIC For Her Amber Medium Ballpoint Pen (Box of 12) - Black
Comments, as usual, features some golden ones:
I tried these on a whim, and I have to say I wasn't very impressed. The applicator mechanism is far too fiddly, and the plastic tampon inside far too thin (not to mention uncomfortable and non-absorbant) - I'm sure there must be a knack to using them, but I couldn't find it. They also stained my knickers blue for some reason. I really wanted to like these, but it's back to pads for me.
As well as the other information that accretes, like tags and also vieweds...

White gravy is possibly the nastiest thing that people who aren't Jamaican take for granted, nay SEEK OUT.
Unless I don't properly understand what it is and we do it too, but it sure seems gross.
I'm halfway through my breakfast muffin! This is all exciting! Still waiting for feeling to return to all fingers, though. Not sure if related...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That really doesn't sound good, ita.
I had a fried food bonanza last night to the point that I didn't have breakfast this morning, which I think has never happened before in my life. Yikes.
