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.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, Sophia! I'm not sure I understand any better, but at least I know what song to listen to.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Today was so dang loooong! How do people with real jobs handle it?
Oh, there's a kerfuffle going on in the extended Ashe clan over Thanksgiving. Now that things have calmed down, both my DH and my sister's DH want to have dinner at their parents' houses (as in, Rich told his parents he'd eat there, Cody told his dad we'd eat with them). I'm fine with that. In fact, let me count the ways: I don't cook, shorter drive than the one to HMB, kids love playing over there, plus good food. But my sister doesn't want to go to her in-laws, so she's really upset. Oy! I just hope it resolves itself soon so I don't have to keep thinking about it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Today still is long. I'm at 12.5 hours now with approx another hour to go. "God bless us, every one" my ass.
Burrell, I hope the kerfuffle abates quickly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
But to answer the question, I think it's still a conjunction with an implied clause. The noun (well, usually a noun) after "because" is just shorthand for a longer clause.
Agreeing with Steph. Because yeah.
"I can't have nice furniture because my cats destroy it" became "I can't have nice stuff because cats." "Because" isn't doing anything different than it ever did.

"God bless us, every one" my ass.
I head into my Christmas Carol next week.
Tonight I'm sitting in the back row of a show at UCLA, not my show, I'm a faculty advisor on this one, but still, the next three nights sitting in tech.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am getting cranky and cynical, because my first reaction was just- be glad you are not costumes,where you sit through hree days of tech and no one cares or pays attention...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I love you all. Just because.
So, because Buffistas?

Oh I've been there. I had at least one director that insisted he needed sound in the room for all three 10 of 12 days on a musical, then thought it was funny when we played one sound cue at 10 AM on Friday and we got to the next one at 9 PM on Sunday night.
