and ended up with Young Sherlock.
Let me make my position on Young Sherlock absolutely clear: If Sherlock and Moriarty do not kiss and/or fuck by the end of this series, I will not be responsible for my actions.

The moral of the last two episodes can be summed up as "never air live when you can air on a delay instead". Though I did find those chyrons for the show trial pretty amusing!

A few months ago when I got new strings for my punk electric guitar, I asked for specific brand. They didn't have that brand but sold me a set that was "equivalent". I was in a bit of a hurry so I accepted the strings and went on my way.
So yesterday I start restringing the guitar and half way through, I somehow lost the B string. I counted all the strings, I had them on the bench, and it was just missing. Gone on walk-about. Playing hide and seek. After wasting half an hour searching I finally threw up my hands, and drove the the local music store.
It was only then - in the store - that I realized the strings I had were for an acoustic guitar. Arrrrgggghhhhh. I bought strings for an electric guitar and a string winder because doing it by hand is a pain in the ass.
Got home, and was just about to tear open the package when I looked at it more closely. "Warm, Mellow Sound" the package said.
WRONG! Punk guitar needs bright strings!
Back to the music store with the strings and my slip. I really read the packages and got the correct style of guitar strings. The store clerk checked my original slip - and it was incorrect! The "warm" string never got scanned! We only paid for the winder! So an updated slip was printed I paid for my strings and I left feeling the Universe was Trying To Tell Me Something.
PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS!
The steroids I'm taking for my scalp condition is making me jittery so I've been pretty wound up lately. It's not a great excuse, though. I just need to move a little more deliberately, watch closely and take my time with things.
Even though I want to do Everything Right Now!
*jitters*
Interesting side note: the customer before me made a cool New Age type connection with the person at the register. Healing and stuff. I smiled at them showed my silver tree of life necklace and we all went 'Oooo!" at the Universe being all serendipity.

om taught me early that everyone's the same color on the inside.. Cynthia taught me to hatemyself for being a paleskinned person, never mind that Icame from serfs. Oh,yeah, you think my ancestors had it better han yours?! We had it at least as bad as yours did, under the czars. You dark-skinned people just got your slavery documented..My history's been as eased as your's hh.
Think you been wronged? Try being short XX and smart. Fuck you professional Black Cynhtia meany I offeredyou the love you didn't accept.
It turned out you were stupid stinking racist asshole after all. To call you a bitch would demean female dogs. They are smart and devious.

Right after "For better or for Worse" Been there done both. Still trying to wrap my love around Moray. She's way stranger than a fish or ampmphibian Those I can understand. Beings generated out of something peculiarly resembling Homo sapiens' self-made God thing I don't, really shit on, buy. not if I were richas musk.
So Jeph are you sure AI can replace Me? More men than I know regard me as The Godess. I carry the Goddess in me. I Know and Love. it involves pain.
nbd I am entirely aware of my privilege, Though I have nomelin, in excess, I am short.and fenmale. I've been screwed All ny life.
Big MALE UGLY ASSHOLES have always stymied my attempts to help my fellows.

The genes are selfish. I've kept mine out of the pool. I oe have to hope for kindness. HA! like I'l get that. Good thing I know how to be a hermit and die. Good thing I don'tplan to support the death facility. Thse who prey on the grieving. Nasty vultures. Evil pthings. Not really peoplle. Just evil huntrs of other's grief. All they are.
I'm trying to find the best use for my corpse. I was born to live and am bound to die.
Bloodyassholes profit from it.

In truth, I am just a human being, capable of perceiving what she can perceive through her human senses.No one wants to know what I think.
I have the erewithal to become a Radical. Not that i hven't always been a bit of a subversive. I loathe, despise and want to abolish by death t Guess who popularly fits that categoryall white rich men. Icky,mean men with money.Kill.
Someone please do. They are nasty pieces of nature,uglyier than the worst sin, and deserve to ..be assassinated..
How I really feel. Not how I behave. I am a civilised human being by behaviour. I still my inner primitive self, but recognise its presence.

In which this teacher earnestly wants a word to substitute for "chink" in Midsummer Night's Dream, and one person suggests kink which doesn't mean the same thing.
And on the one hand, I'm sure they all have their hearts in the right place, but on the other hand, maybe they should collectively teach a different play instead. Shakespeare wrote plenty of comedies, just pick a different one off the shelf.

why are all the ads onour phones warning us that we are losing our minds? Does the GP really think that, contrary to natural cultures' belief, elders are more foolish than the young? We are wise, have experienced what younger people have only heard of. Maybe in their culture the elders are foolish. I see it happening. Not in mine. I am a quiet crone, a wise woman. I may not look wise, but watch my grocery slip. It is invariably at least off.25%. Usually 33%. I also know the edibility and health uses of everything growing in my yard. grass is useless.
I really wish I could speak to young people about the usefulness of the weeds around them. How many people even our age know thw usefulness of broad and lance-leaved plantain (plantago major and lanceolata) as very good fungicides? I have used them to broad good effect twice. as tea and poultice. It works. I will provide details, if asked. And there are many others, but one must ask and think to use the weeds around them. Ask those who have studied and know. Ask those who have done this.
Oh young ones, trace the tracks of knowledge of the elders' elders. There is balance. And stop overbreeding. Your genes aren't all that good. Also, having to remember things like phone numbers is L T 4 U. Lazy brains are evil's playground.
Thinking is fun. Creating useful things and beautiful things is the best humanity can do.

If you are a priest or rabbi foolish ynogh to believe in a Christian God or Jewish ___________ That whose name is not to be spoken (you guys gotta be nuts), Your tenets have damned or excommunicated ten percent of your possible gullibles.
I personally have never subscribed to a belief in anyone else's silly notion of a god.
I believe that most of humanity is stupid ynogh to believe in all sorts of Gods
Ergo, I think most of humanity is stupid.
I think many Priests, Bishops, Cardinals, are liars
I wanted to be Pope when I was 12 Then they told me I had to have a penis.
Back to the LaRousse Encyclopedia of Astronomy. Uhh. Heaven was where?
