I wanna be the tallest.
That'd be easy. We just need to figure out how big a box you need to stand on.
Gus is tallest. Who's second-tallest? Is it 6' 3" me? I was thinking there was someone else taller than me besides Gus.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, well, doncha know, Scott McClelland was asked about it yesterday and he pooh-poohed the whole thing. Because, you see, that was a WHOLE OTHER BILL that actually created a whole mighty wall of additional protections for the patients, and the issues at hand could not possibly be more different, handwavey handwavey, hey, check out that herd of thundering flabotanum!
If that distraught mother in Houston could just try to follow the talking points, she'd understand.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Good luck with that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What I don't get is, ok, she had 10 days to find another facility to put the baby. How could other hospitals turn her away? Her baby needed that ventilator - it was a matter of life or death - how could they legally turn her and her son away? Does the new law negate the law that says noone can be turned away from a hospital? I mean, what the hell? And, doesn't that law sort of negate the Hippocratic oath?

Talking points. Grrr.
I am neither tallest nor shortest by a fair clip. I am uniquely typical that way.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone! And, yes, I am appreciating the avoidance of "39" jokes, even though I probably deserve it--when my mom turned 39, the sibs and I pooled our money for a "Happy Ad" in the local paper, wishing her a "Happy Birthday, Mom! (For the how many-th time?)," or something like that. She got kidded about it at work for weeks.

I think that's emergency/urgent care. If she's already in a hospital, they don't have to accept the transfer.
