Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The hell? Is that even legal?

I guess if we take her to the ER, they have to treat her, or at least give her emergent care. I think her GI doc (who is a genuinely nice and caring man, with excellent bedside manner, and good at what he does) was just trying to head the issue off at the pass.

The hospital he recommended is a county hospital, and they definitely have to provide care. He was recommending that one because they have good GI docs, and because it's not the downtown LA county hospital which, while closer, has an ER which is constantly overloaded with the gunshots, stabbings and ODs typical of all big-city core county hospitals.

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

Oh, I guess that makes sense. Still, it's not like you weren't going to pay for the care at the other place!

Here's hoping that's information you'll never need.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yay, baby! Good news is nice.
I think I get to meet her this afternoon.

Here's hoping that's information you'll never need.
This. Sean, I hope there is no need to ever use the new info.

Herding cats for fun

(cries like a little baby girl now that I know what has happened to Beverly's boy)

{{{Beverly and Family}}} I am so very sorry such a terrible thing had to happen to you of all people. I wish I knew something I could do that would bring you comfort.

Next time I see anybody I love, that person is going to get a great big hug.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

It's an hour away, but they said they won't treat her any more without insurance as we were checking her out of the old hospital

This just sucks. My only hope is that the county hospital is more pleasant, without all the GSWs and ODs. But still, grrrr.

Now tagless for your comfort.

IUD = Painful cramps.

Strange. I haven't hardly had a period even--and cramps seem to be a thing of the past for me.
