Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Why is it OK to say something is actual or real in a metaphorical sense, but not literal? I feel like they are exactly the same thing. My head did not actually explode, in the exact same way that it did not literally explode.
I agree - if "literally" is off the table as an intensifier, "really" and "actually" should be banned as well. "Literal" "real" and "actual" being more or less synonyms and all.
I wasn't so bad about the pockets thing until the advent of cargo pants. But until they leave, I am purseless. I carry:
Left cargo: wallet, phone, sometimes maglite, dog walking ziploc/paper towels
Right cargo: keys w/ UV light and emergency break the window thingy, earbuds, 1/8th inch aux cable, leatherman wave, kleenex, flash drive, pads when necessary
Left front: receipts, various pieces of paper people hand me
Right front: guitar picks, drum key, headphone adapters, impedance transformer, blistex
I don't know what I'd carry additionally if I carried a purse. Glasses case? Contacts stuff for emergencies? I sometimes fake carry a purse, but it's really just my knitting bag. And that's what I carry if forced into a pocketless dress.
Isn't Lands End owned by Sears now?
Yes.
I'm not actually worried, but after Zenkitty's experience, I'm a little twitchy.
Dana, if it helps, let me point out that nothing truly bad happened. He was just a dick and he scared me. He didn't call again, and he didn't come back.
I had never heard of Adele, nor ever heard Rolling in the Deep. Watched the video; what an amazing voice she has.
I hurt all over. I have a hangover from painkillers. Yesterday was probably not the best choice of day, back-pain-wise, to clean and organize my bedroom. By the end of the day I could barely stand up straight. But my bedroom and linen closet are now clean and organized! I can find my stuff! And yesterday I took out two bags of trash and 8 bags to the Goodwill. So it was worth it. Today I will sit on the sofa, drink wine, and sort through my ridiculously huge collection of socks. After I catch up on work, out from which I was the last two business days.
Rupert Murdoch just got a pie in the face.

Seriously? Couldn't happen to a more deserving 80-year-old megabillionaire.
When people throw pies into faces for political reasons, why do they usually use shaving cream? Wouldn't whipped cream be better?
