Oh maria, I'm so sorry.

OH! Jilli, do NOT scroll down past the video on that page.

Thank you for the warning! I wasn't going to click on the link because of possible spiders, anyway, but warnings are good!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Vocal Fry example: [link]

I was gonna say that sounds like Valley Girl speak from way back when, and then msbelle said pretty much the same thing.

That other chick sounds more like what I was thinking. That kind of gravelly thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is the creaky voice thing people were talking about a while back the same thing as vocal fry?

Yes.

And I swear to god, men use it way more than women (in my office, at least), but only women catch grief for it.

When I hear vocal fry I think of Benita Buttrell's asides to the camera on In Living Color.

Agreed. Well, I don't know what goes on in your office.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Wikipedia suggests He-man and Teela were a couple. maybe. I have no memory of Teela.

Man at Arms' adopted daughter. Possibly the daughter of the Sorceress of Greyskull. She loved He-Man, but not Prince Adam, so their love was doomed.

Well, doomed love is no good for wedding Underoos.

You know what, I just might sign up to be my neighbor's ' school transport a couple days a week. Not just emergency. Because clearly, they've got an unreliable transporter for these days, I could just incorporate it into my schedule. Gotta think on it.For now I've been about exchanging kids helping with leaves and cats, but if it were regular, might have a more concrete exchange. Money or services.

At least I know which is the indulgent drop off lane and which is the express unemotional one.
