I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I'm sorry about the insurance snafus, MG.

But yay to vw on getting her insurance issues worked out!

I read a thing in the NY Times today about insurance basically making dealing with the major complications of diabetes (limb amputation and the like) more cost effective for hospitals than working on preventative measures. [link]

The whole thing makes me want to kick someone, but I'm not quite sure who.

What is even happening?

Someone with two legs. Asshats.

My mother (who is generally uber-ethical, and has made me into a near-neurotic about getting even 5 cents too much back in change) is fond of saying, "If you can take money from an insurance company, it is not stealing."

After bending over (and over and over) for our car insurance company, I can't say she's wrong.

I doubt this is a true story, but my grandfather was an insurance adjuster and one time he was working on an Indian reservation. Anyhow, he learned that he had been given the Indian name "Walking Eagle", which he thought was pretty neat. The one day he asked someone what the name meant and the reply was "Too full of crap to fly."

move out and draw fire

Rock! I clearly should've come to the hivemind first. Those are great! I'd been leaning strongly toward this one [link] but was a bit leery of the price. I've already got fleece that would go with it though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Thank goodness for the fact that my test equipment has been covered by two different health insurances. so were my basic education courses.

This is a good time to say thanks for my brain and willingness to understand my disease.

and to also say that I to like to avoid the mail.

Hivemind request: for Austrialian Buffistas or better Googlers than I

If someone had a 20 year old felony conviction from Australia (drug smuggling), to which government agency would they inquire about applying for a pardon to expunge said conviction from their record?

I've been searching for 2 hours and can't find anything. Maybe such a thing does not exist in Australia?
