Cool, maybe I can stop by this weekend. I'd rather do something funny than food-related.
It's around 4th Street. You live on the F, right? Pretty convenient, then.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a great and weird fondness for the Abbott & Costello Babes in Toyland which has so many great-to-me bits in it, including the world's smallest barrage-by-blimp, and of course, a disastrous mistake in the size of wooden soldiers, long before Spinal Tap was ordering a Stonehenge replica for their stage show.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Anyone know much about the very early history of the Bible? Is the stuff here pretty much accepted by Bible history scholars?
It doesn't sound that far out. Its commonly accepted that three of the gospels are based on one another and the fourth is not. I don't know if the assertion of contentiousness is widespread but I imagine the view exists in various forms.
And I can't speak off the top of my head, but different officials behaved and were regarded differently in different eras and by different people -- but I don't know how much of that is a "battleground". One guys battleground is another's healthy debate.

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

Yeah. My mom had enormous issues with the insurance company when she opted for tubal litigation. My brother was 9 and I was 13, and she was sure she didn't want any more children at that point. But she was 30, and got the same bullshit from insurance. Fortunately, my mom's doctor fought with them on it, but it seemed a demeaning process.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
tommyrot, the only thing I can come close to coming up with is that a lot of fake fur is synthetic and therefore petroleum products. I don't know. I'm grasping here.

You know, if I saw my doctor's name on that article, I'd be finding a new doctor.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
she opted for tubal litigation.
You mean tubal ligation, right?

No, but seriously, her tubes were suing her ovaries. It was a lengthy court battle and I can't believe no one told me about that.
You all would let me walk around with toilet paper on my shoe, wouldn't you?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oddly, I don't have that much of an issue with the doctor. I would rather a doctor really lay it on the line what I could be facing, the consequences of what it is I want done, and bring up possible changes in my life. Now, I'd be pissed if, after I was informed of all of that and still wanted it done, he refused, but I can't fault a doctor for A) giving me all the information I need, even if I don't want it or B) having an internal struggle with it. I would far rather have a doctor that sometimes struggles with what the patient wants vs what might be a "better" decision, than one that just say, "You want it, fine - I'll do it."
I would imagine that doctors go through many internal struggles with their patients. Oncologists, for example who have patients that just don't want to fight their illness anymore.
