The docs office today was surprisingly quick. That's what happens when they squeeze you in as the first appointment.

crosses fingers that works. I have the first or second appt tomorrow at a new dr. and then next week at mac's led dr. My plan is to arrive when the office opens and hope things go fast.

I just wrote to my agent to let her other clients know that LA does this. I'm sure it's because there are so many people in LA who fall into a Creative Artist category.

The exemption is only for those making under 300K.

I wish they publicized this.

I'm firmly with Steph in the politics camp. The truth is we can't talk about who would make a good president because so much of what rides on that is circumstances and responses to those circumstances. As it pertains to Obama and Clinton, they are extremely similar. Who woudl be the better president? It's hard to tell as neither has really had that sort of Executive leadership experience.

I am irked when she cites her first lady stuff as experience. Actually I'm irked when she says she has experience at all. Her on-the-job experience in elected office is senator. And she's had that for slightly longer than Obama. I am also irked at the "vote for Clinton and you get two-for-one" because THAT does play into both the fears for the Right which does change the debate that is possible. Also, when she is asked about him and his role she says "Well I'm the one here." yet the up-playing of his role by the campaign grates.

The exemption is only for those making under 300K.

And I believe it's 300K on 1099s, not including work that you would get a W2 for.

The previous politics brought to you by too much time spent in traffic listening to NPR.

Damn mail man just woke Noah up by knocking on the door. IRK.

Oh, Kat, I HATE that! Our dogs always barked as soon as the mail carrier stepped on the porch every day so it was a giant pain in the ass when the kids were napping.

Jesus, meara! I am SO sorry, honey!

meara! That just totally sucks. I'm so sorry and lots of ~unemployment-ma and ~new job found quickly-ma to you.

oh lord, meara. I'm so sorry.

After last night's MythBusters, where they tested whether or not an airplane on a conveyor belt can take off, (and it did) there are still lots and lots of people who are vehemently arguing the opposite, even after MythBusters showed it happening, and carefully explained why. I'm amazed at the length people can go to deny something they saw with their own eyes.

It kind of puts the evolution deniers in a new perspective for me.
