Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Oh, and HI, ZUISA! I remember you and studying in Harbin, China, and your high-seas adventures! Welcome back!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Not sure what manual pagination is, but it doesn't sound good.

Thrive to spite them

I'm imagining manually numbering pages.

Which is what I had to do (with pencil on paper!) for a 1000+ page set of agenda meeting notes. While answering the phone.

Or I was suppose to because the previous person in the position was a technophobe and did it by hand. I got them to switch to digital with a database.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, it's even better, assuming I'm understanding it.

When you design things for print, you want it to look good. Roughly the same amount of text on facing pages, articles starting on a new page or an odd page or whatever the rule is.

If you do it manually, any time you change anything in the 400-page document, it messes everything else up and you have to check it all over again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oyyy.

I just got a prescription refill for my cat, and I think they gave me cherry flavor when they hadn't before. (it's just human medicine.) I don't think this is going to work out.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

What, they don't make tuna-flavored medicine?

Each cat is different, but I have ended up with sticky cherry medicine all over me, the cat, and the bathroom walls/floor. Good luck!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Our kitty's liquid meds for her kidney disease is mint-flavored (it's basically antacid for humans). It has not, in any way, improved her breath.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Giving my dog mint-flavored chews does improve his breath, but he doesn't like them.

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

My sister's car is mad for mint. She'll try to steal your gum if you're not careful.
