I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I dunno, the euro's having issues lately...

hip deep in pie
It's in England. No mention of the Euro.

So ...imperial or metric, then!

Because books.
Many pounds sterling of important related experience?
I think "a metric buttload" is really universal, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
how nice she thought it was to show kids all the different ways people live.
But it's so way niche. And also pretty easy to achieve, if that's what you want. I just..is there a gaping hole of representation of platonic life partners, or it's something that inspiration really counts for? It's room-mates. It's low impact, and not endangered or erased or anything.
I mean, apart from how everyone's going to think you're gay married, but Ernie and Bert don't really have any bearing on that. It's like seeing representation of, I dunno, breakfast nooks or something. It's nice that people who want breakfast nooks can see sorts of breakfast nooks out there, but it's not really a poorer life for not having seen it on TV.

I always assume B&E were cousins. Not sure why.
IRL, my neighbor still gets asked about her 'wife' at the market. Who was her platonic housemate for many years. 4 years ago. They were always shopping and planning meals together, so people assumed. They do still share custody of the cat- he sometimes lives with the ex-housemate or her parents when they're out of town for extended gigs.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have to explain white kind of white person I am.
The sexy kind!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Is there a word for people who love to read, like "something_phile"? "Bibliophile" means someone who loves books, but that's not exactly the same thing, and my BFF and I are going nuts trying to find the exact right word.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Thankfully, something that I've been banging my brain to numbness on, understanding at least at a high level what every single tool in our workstation software does for financial planners (I have never planned more thoroughly than "don't sell your body for rent") of all sorts, in order to be able to recommend the software tool model for new offices, and I was sure I was not only out of touch with the information, but also with the expectations of me. Well, the latter seems to be true, because I over-delivered. So, oops, might need to keep doing that.
This is sort of unrelated, ita, but I was doing an email search for something else and came across one from you 2 years ago about ERISA...I know more about it now, and was embarrassed that my answers were vaguely not helpful then. I hope it didn't hurt you!
