I moved to PA in December ‘06. After years uninsured, I finally passed the 24 months you have to wait on disability to become eligible for Medicare in February ‘07. And immediately, my insurance decided to tell me that there was no way they were paying for my Effexor XR, which was working...

meloukhia:
So, we had an earthquake here on Sunday, a 6.5. It was a little bigger than the little quakes we get now and then, so it attracted some attention. Notably, no lives were lost, and the most serious injury was a broken hip.
And then, yesterday, a 7.0 in Haiti.
And, already, the headlines, all along the lines of “what happened in Haiti could happen here!”
And, here’s the thing.
No....
Sigh

Who’s your favorite musician?
O.O Oh geez, I don’t even know, there’s too many good choices! And “musician” is kind of broad and can mean a lot of different things.

Please, if you can, do so. It is deducted from your prepaid balance/added to your phone bill, but if you can… my husband has family down there, so it’s additionally close to my heart.

She meows a lot. And obviously, an awful lot of the time, the meows mean “Hey! You! Person over there who I’m forced to live with! Feed me! DO IT! do it do it do it do it do it do it do it.” And, less frequently, she means “hey, you’re going to pet me now, just so you know.

“Nicole, going downstairs, heard the end of the conversation. She knew, as she had always known, that Tommy loved her; she knew he had come to dislike Dick, and that Dick had realized it before he did, and would react in some positive way to the lonely man’s passion. This thought was succeeded by a moment of sheerly feminine satisfaction. She leaned over her children’s...
