I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was gonna try to get an earlier flight out, but I swear the weather forecasts sound really wimpy and I don't feel like rushing. An earlier flight would mean leaving for the airport RIGHT NOW! Bah, not gonna. If I get delayed or re-directed, then so be it. Be warned Buffistas, if I get redirected to any of your towns I will be calling.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If a doctor visit leaves me feeling humiliated and like I never want to see a doctor again, I should write a letter to my HMO, correct?

Abso-fuckin-lutely, Allyson.

Shrift, I'm sorry about the neck and general duck pecking.

Hell, yes.

Y'damn skippy. Is it your regular PCP or a specialist? Me, I wrote to the doctor I'd seen and cc'ed the insurance company and my PCP. Okay, not much came from it, but I felt better.

Did your doctor treat you better the next time?

Well, since I was writing about how poorly I'd felt I was being treated by her office staff and that I felt my time had been wasted by not one but two appointments at which nothing happened, I actually went ahead and got another specialist. But my PCP said the doctor in question had felt just awful about it!

Allyson, is it a group practice? Can you switch doctors? DH did this--and made sure to tell the doctor why he was switching.

I'm getting the pig!

Definitely, Allyson.

msbelle, I hope you get safely to wherever you're going.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Strange definition of "allies", there.
