Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For people who've encountered the "done" rule--can you apply "done" to stuff you're cooking, not baking?

OHMYGOD. Looks like the weather is getting DRUNK for St. Pats. [link]

It's supposed to be near or above 60 for the next couple of days.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Momentarily means both for a moment and in a moment, according to Sports Night.

I am at a diner. They have both pie and wifi. I love the future.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Was it Theo who had the thing on FB where the DC metro area National Weather Service forecast was just like, "OK, FINE! You can have ALL THE WEATHER."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think you could say "the dinner is done" meaning that it is ready to eat, and the dinner is finished, meaning you are done eating and the people are leaving.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Nobody ever corrected my grammar. Of course, I grew up with people who would say things like "broughten", so, maybe they thought I talked funny and just didn't mention it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I grew up in MI, and this is the first time I've heard of the done/finished thing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have achieved pie! Brussell's sprout and bacon quiche for lunch, but for dinner I have a Colcannon pie, and for dessert Pear-Apple-Cranberry.

I had some Key lime just now, so that was good.

meara, I love that sweater and it would be the perfect thing for me, but I too am worried about the quality. Between the pilling and the people complaining about the sizing and the zipper not working properly... I wonder if one can find that sort of thing elsewhere? (Here's my Google shopping result on asymmetrical sweater.)

I had an assymetrical wool sweater from Kuhl's for several years (until I had a brain fart and threw it in the washing machine), really loved it.
