In my job, we would be saying "during the reporting period" or something.
Fred: The size and depth of the wound indicate a female vampire. Harmony: Or gay! Fred: Um…it doesn't really work like that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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

Nope, nothing to tell. Except one night he showed me his trick on hiding a handgun on your person while you're naked.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME TO WORK!
Someone asked me about a project about half an hour ago that is really something I should do, and I probably can before I leave, but NOT IF THEY DON'T EMAIL ME THE DAMN INFORMATION.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It's my first day back from vaca and I put Mac on a plane today. I have paid 8 bills, taken some calls, dealt with a vendor onsite, and reconciled a purchase card. That is more than enough, right? Like I now just need a gold star.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds like plenty to me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yeah, in that case I'd go with across time, as Jesse suggests.
(still think "over time" sounds better)
"Over time" totally sounds better. This is one of those weird as hell style rules I can't figure the reasoning for.
Rates increased as the Earth rotated.
Rates increased in proportion to universal entropy.
Or maybe I'll use these instead.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Joining the conversation late, but "Time passed; rates increased."
But then, I like semicolons. More than the people that review my work like them.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I ran across this as I was roaming the far fringes of the internet:
How many Babylonians does it take to light an oil lamp? Three. One to light the lamp, another to consult the law governing oil lamp lighting, and a third to smite the hand that let the lamp go out.
How many Spartans does it take to light an oil lamp? 400. One to change the oil, and 399 to defend his right to do so. To the death.
How many Romans does it take to light an oil lamp? Friends, Romans, countrymen… I think we have better uses for oil and darkness, don’t you?
How many Delphic oracles does it take to light an oil lamp? The mule must learn to play the lyre.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thank you, Toddson. I needed that.
