Happy birthday to Vortex!
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
NEWS FLASH! ****** It is Monday and I could not care less about working today
NEWS FLASH ME TOO HARD SAME
My last research paper of the semester is due at midnight and no matter how many times I minimize Word and ignore it for a few hours, it has so far completely failed to finish itself. Stupid non-self-writing paper.
(All it's missing is a conclusion but they are the worst to write and I don't wanna. In conclusion I have said everything already therefore this is the end of the paper goodbye.)

I got Matilda up on a Monday morning. It only took 45 minutes and 6 prods, whilst dodging her death glares and resentful complaints.
In our house Aeryn has 4 alarms which she just lets ring until Ethan or I start shouting at her. At which point she shouts back "just a sec!" which means anywhere from 5 to 500 minutes. Going back to in-person school next year is going to be HELL.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Happy birthday, Vortex!
Excellent work, Hec! I well remember the death glares.
I was only in Pennsylvania for one cicada event and that was quite enough. Everyone dealing with it has my sincere sympathies.
Today is being very Mondayish.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"What?! Still unfinished! Well, that'll get you minimized for another two hours until you do better!"
At which point she shouts back "just a sec!"
"I'm coming!" she'll say as I'm standing at the door for five...ten minutes trying to get her somewhere on time.

The thing is, she comes back from her run with an iced blended caramel cappucino and she's perky and chatty and alert and in a good mood. So it's 100% worth making her run but it is such a drag getting her up.
We didn't make her go to church yesterday, and she slept in past noon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
In conclusion I have said everything already therefore this is the end of the paper goodbye.
That's what conclusions are just in different words, right?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I have said everything already
Would it help to think of it as writing an elevator pitch? Or does it need to be more involved and detailed than that?

Yeah I just need to stretch that to like three paragraphs about how consumption patterns during the 1918 influenza pandemic something something racism something modern day blah.

It really does seem like Word should be able to do that on its own. Have you tried turning on Autosuggest: Conclusion? Where's Clippy when you need him?
