Bullpen. This is the endearing name I started for my office. Everyone I work with knows I love to coin a nickname on things. One Theory on the real word was from where pitchers warmed up before baseball games. Large posters of "Bull" Durham spitting tobacccy were posted in red and yellow behind the...

an obscure sexual break
A woman who "sprained her ankle" in 18thC had been seduced. For a lady to" break her leg or knees" ment pregnancy. I assume any "falling", similiar to "fall from grace", inferring being pregnant. But that's better than being six months " gone ". Sex sounds so hazardous in all those idioms.

Clean up your act. As if everything is just an ACT, not real life. But being cleaned up and washed with lysol surely would get my desk in gear today. I'm not one for using curse words, I don't even allow my children to use the bad words like: stupid, hate, butt, and others. Oh I forgot about the...

Peace of Mind. Not piece of mind, which in my case makes more common sense. Now how am I going to stop the electric charges from firing? Peace truce in the brain would mean not sleeping but past dead. I think there is some amount of time where the brain still fires a little when the organs stop....
