Good luck, sj! I'm glad your prof will let you make up the exam. Feel better soon!
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

sj, quick-recovery-ma for you. I HATEHATEHATE UTI's. A lot.
I bought Owen a Little Tikes Climb & Slide Castle for the playroom and he's in love with it. He keeps sliding down the slide head first.

Oh, sj, I'm sorry. Hope it clears up fast. I am no less attractive than I was last week, just because people want to sell cards.(I was feeling pretty cute last week actually. This week I need a haircut, but otherwise, same basic assets..."package" seemed less than right for Bitches, you know.) Hec, Veronica Hamel should also be persuaded toward a cut. She has the same hair and we thought it was kind of Morticia...

Ok, I just came from a website [link] that says the US Congress is trying to make it even easier for health insurance plans (or things masquerading as such) to screw us out of basic and reasonable care, and wants to send this message to Reps and Senators:
Congress is currently considering legislation - the Small Business Health Fairness Act of 2005, S. 406/H.R. 525 - that would exempt Association Health Plans (AHPs) from the consumer protections my family enjoys under our state laws. By having this special exemption, AHPs could undermine the goal of promoting greater healthcare access and affordability for all Americans.
Supporters argue that AHPs would lower the cost of health insurance. But the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office found that premiums would increase for 80 percent of beneficiaries, and as many as 100,000 of the sickest plan members would lose coverage altogether.
Furthermore, this legislation would allow AHPs to operate without being required to comply with the valuable healthcare safeguards our state has enacted. Your constituents could be denied access to care, refused important healthcare services like mammography screening, subjected to premium increases without limit, and left with unpaid medical bills.
Congress already tried this once. Why would we want to revive an idea that left over 400,000 consumers with $123 million in unpaid claims?

Alpha-bits. Feel better, vw and sj! Hope the catching up on classwork isn't too hideous.
Happy V-day, y'all.

Much health~ma to sj, vw, and Teppy's dad.
Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! I have Mashall's Fudge and a ton of fic waiting for me at home. So while I'm continuing my Incredible NGA Streak on this day of happy coupledom, I'm not feeling too bad about it.

I'm getting the pig!
Daisy - Any chance you could email me the whole recipe for that pie to my profile addy? It sounds amazing and I *love* cherries.
It's odd but I only dislike Valentine's Day when I'm "with" someone. When I'm totally single, however, I'm a Valentine's Day loving freak. (It's okay if that doesn't make any sense since I don't understand it either.)
vw, take it easy if you can. And sj, I hope you start feeling better soon, too. It doesn't look like you'll be painting the town red tonight so just concentrate on getting well. You and Dave can decide that Saturday is Valentine's Day and celebrate then. Seriously.
