Lets visit the corporate world...
"Going forward"
As opposed to when we go backwards in time?
"Spearheading the initiative."
There's no need to get stabby.
"Touch base"
Doesn't even translate from the baseball meaning.
"As per our conversation"
Which is inevitable followed by a recap of the whole conversation, usually for the benefit of the person CCd on the email.
"Best practice."
Or, you know, doing it right.
"Paradigm shift."
For some reason this has become a blanket fancy-term for 'change'.
"Strategic"
As opposed to totally disorganised simian fecal flinging.
I have two kittens and they are just gorgeous. Little playmates who keep each other busy.
In the area I live in, the local council puts a limit on pet ownership to two dogs and two cats. If you want more, you need to apply for permission.
My two little buddies are running around together playing as I type this. They tire each other out, then snuggle up for a nap on top of one another. If you can afford them, the more the merrier I say. Cats are not expensive to care for and it's so lovely to watch them interacting. I have two males - and we all know how rambunctious little men can be. They keep each other out of trouble.
The first kitty was an addition to the family. I had a 9 month old femaile pusscat (CJ), when this little fella just turned up in my yard looking all hungry and adorable. CJ took a little while to get used to Toby, but sadly she was run over in our street. My heart was pretty much broken and poor little Toby the kitten was totally out of sorts. I brought home a new playmate (little Josh). Toby was a bit grumpy at first and spent the first week asserting his dominance. Josh didn't seem to be fazed by Toby's displays of manliness and Toby eventually relented and now they're besties.
I'm pretty sure they're gay for each other. ;-)
My mum said to me once, "If you're going to have sex - make sure it's good sex."
So, so true. Feel free to use that one.

That is the dumbest reason not to have kids I've ever heard of. It's a complete cop out and his real concern is probably how much money the children will cost him. If he's so concerned about the state of the world, he can get out there and get dirty trying to fix things himself. I'm calling BS on the whole thing.
Parenting well and raising resilient and compassionate children is the one thing you can do that is guarunteed to make a difference in the world.
You can't blah blah about fur if you eat meat. People will claim that killing for fur is inhumane, yet visit a slaughterhouse. And what's the diff between fur and leather?
That being said, I too balk at wearing fur. Mostly because I think it looks silly. But I thank the moo cow every day that died to give me these black boots that I live in through the winter.
My great grandmother had a fur coat. When she died we were all 'What the hell are we going to do with this?" My auntie made it into three teddy bears for Gran's three adult children to keep as a memory of her and her outrageous style. How awesome! Yay for recycling.
My fish scale brooch and my chicken feather beret are on back order from Amazon.
I need a good tip for cleaning the indside of the shower glass with something other than BLEACH DEATH. I've tried vinegar, bicarb, lemon. It all ends in a lot of scrubbing I don't want to do.
Oh - my tip - when mopping floor boards, have the mop really hot and really dry then mop wiht the grain of the wood. Perfect every time - no streaks.
No smartphone, but I'm waiting until my contracted plan runs out in November... then we'll see. I'm allergic to anything peddled by the egomaniacal, black turtlenecked, citrus pusher.
I'm a huge fan of connectivity when you're 'on', but I think it's important to be able to step out of the office when you need to.
Otherwise, you're like Superman. All you hear all day is people hollering for help, and Lois gets sick of being left behind mid-sentence and leaves you for Jimmy and it's allllllllll baaaaaaaad.
1. He is always completely honest. Even when it hurts and the truth is hard.
2. He can fix computers.
3. He always goes above and beyond convenience to do what he believes is 'right'.
I think the prevailing attitude here is that we all kinda want to do it, but we don't want to be the only one. Sisters unite! I would love to go topless, celebrate what nature gave me - but for now I'll just save it for my backyard pool.
@grammargeek "For all intensive purposes..." hahahahahaha
In Canada flatware is called "cutlery" NO. cutlery means sharp cutting tools used to prepare food, not forks and stuff. Which btw are not "silverware" unless they are silver. Or at least silver the color. Plastic "silverware?" NO.
ETA- reading this I realize that I am totally nutter butters.
Perhaps I should address this?
Cami would never buy fur if it was new.
There are actually new enterprises popping up where people buy up fur clothing in second hand shops and repurpose them into something else (bags, other clothing, etc.), making it so that the death of the animal is honored and useful.
I don't believe in buying fur new and would never advocate for it. But here we have what amounts to dead animals in second hand shops. What is the best way to honor the animal then?
To not to listen to parenting tips? Follow your own instincts. What works for us doesn't always work for another.
Do Not Google Everything.
Clean up your microwave without any chemicals!
Slice up a lemon or two (limes work too) into thin slices and drop in a microwave safe bowl in a few cups of water. Put it in the microwave. Turn on for 2-3 minutes (longer if yours is extra cruddy). Take out the bowl, use dry paper towels or a cloth to easily wipe away all the crap.
Take the anger out of that zit!
Apply a few drops of eye redness drops (works best if the brand touts immediate eye redness relief) to your zits. Takes most of the red out and makes it less noticeable.
Yep. That answer sounds crazy.
No digestive system. Just water and sunlight. That way there couldn't be any of the awful plumbing problems we are subject to. Also, brain injuries should be able to heal as easily as skin and other tissues do. Lastly, butt hair: what gives? I don't need any hair there and I would like to not have it.
Oh, and here's another one. I should be able to turn sperm production on and off at will. If I ever had sex, it would save a fortune in birth control.
ETA: I'm alright with the no hair below the neck -- although I think all these young dudes running around these days with no chest hair look ridiculous. However, I would certainly miss pubes on women. Much to my chagrin, I have discoursed at length on this topic elsewhere on the community.
People who interrupt you constantly, because they just have to relate everything that you were (almost about to finish) saying to their own lives. Tire. Some.
I did good at English.
