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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if an advisor/adviser tried to sell me on a legal distinction, I would never stop laughing
That's interesting. Well, for our ~7K advisors, it's a definite licensing distinction, even if people outside the company don't care. If you're not a licensed IAR (investment adviser representative, in our lexicon) then you can't call yourself an adviser.
IT might be sloppy about it, but Compliance and the people who review client communication will absolutely send you to bed without your supper if you cock that up.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
What ita ! said, right down to the bit about the folks at Compliance coming after you if you don't do it right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So this is the difference between my grandmother and me (and my mother): She just called to see if I know anything about my parents' flight being delayed, because she's seeing bad weather on the TV, and she doesn't want to be up all night worrying. (a) My mother would never call me to tell me their flight was delayed, because (b) I would never worry about them getting in safely. In the absence of any other information, they are fine! Delayed or not.

hip deep in pie
Jesse, my family are big worriers and assume I must be too. So when they're travelling between CB and here, they always call to "check in" every couple of hours. I am always all "Why do you keep calling me?"
Also when I tried (and failed) to go to Ireland w/o telling my mom, my sisters were just as bad at wanting to be notified when I arrived and when I made it to Galway, blah, blah.

Dear people who love us: WE ARE FINE! Talking to you will not change that! xox

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You should try talking to my brothers sometime and see if it changes that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Our little subdivision (or community, whatever) is supposed to be having a block part tonight, meet your neighbors blah blah blah FREE PIZZA. But it was supposed to start at 7 and there's no sign of anyone.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is there pizza? Just all by itself, waiting for people?
