I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, I was on a phone meeting with someone in Santa Barbara. She was afraid her line was going to get knocked out.

A straw sounds OK for pitting, but when I'm pitting olives (I don't do many cherries), I usually just pull them apart with my fingers.

MH Parity:

requires that annual or lifetime dollar limits on mental health benefits be no lower than any such dollar limits for medical and surgical benefits offered by a group health plan or health insurance issuer offering coverage in connection with a group health plan.

Basically, from what I understand, a nondiscrimination clause wrt mental health coverage (as compared to standard medical insurance.) My cousin's mother had to turn down lucrative jobs because their mh benefits wouldn't cover her daughter or if they did, they didn't have continuity clauses so her daughter's bipolar would be considered preexisting and not covered. Which was undoable at the time. And lord knows Marley has to consider it in every job she takes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hagee said that the Holocaust was G-d's will, as a way to get the Jews to Israel, as prophesied by Jeremiah. And sure seemed to imply that the Holocaust was punishment for Jews not going to Israel in the earlier years of Zionism. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, sara. We're all paritied up over here. Even moreso, in an impossible way. Mental health copays are $5 cheaper than physical health.

I think I may Buffy binge on the long weekend.

Haven't noticed much wind here; but the skirt is hella heavy. Any fires being whipped into frenzies?

Is that McCain/Hagee thing due to be worse than Obama/Knight?

(firstly get your minds out of the gutter, and secondly--that is the name of his preacher, right?)

Nurse just told me the diagnosis of the loud woman across the hall. Way to HIPAA, lady. Also, kind of what I was guessing, but on the less dramatic side.

For shame. There are a milion reasons I should remember that. Just because I'm not voting, doesn't mean I can't pay a widdle attention.

I'll give you partial credit.
