Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hey, has anyone developed a button for your keyboard that you can press, and it will reach through the screen and punch someone who uses the term "PC"? Asking for a friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For politically correct? Yikes.

Always Anti-fascist!
While I do think sometimes that instinct can run amok, in cases such as "differently abled", I find your ideas intriguing and would like to try a prototype if you ever find one, Dana.

Yeah, meaning "politically correct". Or possibly "my life as a middle-aged white man, so hard."

By "Yikes," I think I meant "Why haven't all of those people been punched in the face yet?"

Because books.
I'm experimenting with my tea -- two scant teaspoons of sugar and an orange slice.
In other news, I just edited another article about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, and feeling doomed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
OMG y'all, so many horrible stories today. I'm so sorry you had to witness those things.
I am at one of those points where I'm OD'ing on stress and cortisol, but I think I'll be through the worst of this stint soon.
Except egad, I need to plan a birthday party, don't I? We skipped the parties last year, and I'm not allowed to flake on the kids two years in a row.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
No one gets out alive, Amy. Two teaspoons of sugar (or the equivalent in artificial sweeteners because I am RECKLESS) is my standard. And two teaspoons of cream, but only real cream, if its half and half 4 tsps might do or I might do without, and milk I just don't take. Orange slice is an interesting idea - because it's sweeter than lemon, what's your thinking?

Unrelatedly: argh, I am idiot. I've been working on this spreadsheet, including recording macros for some of the formatting, etc., that I do over and over again. I thought I had been periodically saving it, so when I realized I had missed a crucial step just now instead of trying to undo my way back to where it goes I figured I could just close without saving and be back where I thought I had last saved. Only I guess I didn't. All of today's work=gone.
