Ginger, how long are you willing to fight that fight? A commenter says it's an etymological urban legend in the first place, but even if it's not, it's been in place since at least 1913 (I only did Wordnik research, nothing detailed).
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Natter 69: Practically names itself.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ginger, how long are you willing to fight that fight?
Until she's nauseous?

For some reason I didn't notice any weather reports about today's snow, and now I'm at the office with no hat or snow boots. Bah.
Oh, but I do have a pair of Doc Martens at my desk. Still don't have a hat, because I'm unwilling to wear either a propeller hat or a police prop hat in public. Or a bike helmet.
Or a puppet.

I want to see shrift wear a puppet on her head!
...I do have a picture of her in bunny ears somewhere...

No rubber gloves around, I take it? Because that would be FG!

if you're seriously going to whine about "abortion-inducing drugs," at high enough dosages or in combination with the right/wrong other drugs, that's broad enough to cover just about every drug in existence. In which case your beef is with modern medicine, not Obama.
Not even "modern medicine" - plenty of old-fashioned abortifactants in nature, too! Therefore, Catholic-owned businesses should not allow plants on company property. You know, just in case. Because LIFE.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This kind of parenting amuses me. I know parenting isn't supposed to amuse me, and parenting with bullets is a dodgy premise, but, seriously, child? Shut up.
He could've donated that laptop somewhere.
I still think any "compromise" at all is conceding the point in a way that is not helpful long term.
Right. I'm increasingly disinclined to try to compromise with people who don't know how to compromise.
For some reason I didn't notice any weather reports about today's snow, and now I'm at the office with no hat or snow boots. Bah.
Oops. You may want to pick up a hat at Walgreens.

She came to me late in the paper saying she had the hardest epiphany when she realized that you could be for preserving all life, or you could be for the best possible life for those who are born, but you couldn't be for both.
It is definitely hard to come to terms with this. I'm seriously impressed with your student.
