And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

my ass really burns when Viagra is covered and birth control isn't.

I was questioning whether or not you've encountered this personally, because I haven't.

I've heard your statement above come up nearly every time the issue of insurance is raised at all, but I have never heard anyone say "My insurance company covers Viagra, but not birth control." So I would like to know for what states/insurance companies this is actually currently the case.

Sorry, I guess I was skimming; I didn't get that you were asking for current examples. You're absolutely right that, because of people shouting for Viagra, things were tidied things up so that contraception was covered as well. Currently, if prescription drugs are covered, birth control must be as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know, most tattoo places I know are pretty clear that you shouldn't be drunk when you go to get inked. Here's a bar in England that has a tattoo shop in-house. [link]

Happy birthday to thems that have birthdays today (I got a little confused)!

From a ways back, I love the Tim Gunn blog and am cursing Kristen for her new tag (Follow-that-dream-wherever-that-dream-may-take-you, even if it's to the rejection list.) because I wanted it.

I think I'm having chocolate covered pretzels, grapes and Coke for lunch and I couldn't be happier about that.

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

Here's a bar in England that has a tattoo shop in-house.

I can just imagine some guy at the bar saying, "Dude. I dare ya' to get 'I am a big dork' tatooed on your forehead."

Yeah...I like bars, and I like tats, but that just seems like a bad idea.

[eta: Case in point!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Currently, if prescription drugs are covered, birth control must be as well.

Is this new? Because the place I worked at five years ago did not cover contraception--I paid full price out of pocket. I never asked about Viagra.

Seriously. I mean, maayyybe the tattoo staff are hardcore about not doing drunk people, but it seems a little shady.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I remember a very fun conversation once about what it would be like if you actually had to do everything you said you were going to do when you were drunk. Madness!
