Filling out forms for a mammogram and had to indicate how I know I’m not pregnant. Circled “no male partner” as a reason and then realized that it does not think what I initially thought it did. 😅

While others sweat how many exclamation marks they can use in a message, I'm doing it with em dashes.

This is psychotic, but I reject the notion that she wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between half Coke, half Diet Coke. True Diet Coke addicts are like the finest sommeliers: We can tell you whether our Diet Coke came from a can/bottle/fountain, purely by taste.

I can’t tell you how insanely envious I am of people who don’t have an inner monologue. It’s like being followed by the world’s most boring and yet critical narrator.

A prayer for AB journalists today. May the results be swift and the pizza delicious.

The smoke here is awful. But all I can think about is those fighting or fleeing the fires. (And the budget cuts to fire crews and health care that are surely stinging right now.)

I love language so much! This thread ... I didn't even know any of this.
Hey ding-dongs, let’s have a chit-chat about Ablaut reduplication. If you have three words, the order usually goes 'I-A-O.' tic-tac-toe If there are only two words, ‘I’ is the first and the second is either ‘A’ or ‘O.’ click-clack King-Kong

Just drinking tea out of my good china while listening to classical music and marking papers like the old lady I am.

I don't always have breakfast (don't @ me), but today, when I have to fast until noon, all I can think about is all the things I want to eat right now.

This happened to me last week! I even included commas. And then I apologized for doing it and kept going with the voicemail, but then kept verbally punctuating it anyway.
I just left a voicemail for a patient and at the end of each sentence I said “period” like I was dictating it.

After a six-week hiatus, I can confirm that putting on liquid eyeliner is NOT "just like riding a bike." #raccooneyes
