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

“Not dead yet!”
It's about a bullfight from the point of view of the bull - heartbreaking.
I could only catch about every fifth word, but the melody was so mournful.
If the healthcare system out here doesn't get their act together I'm going to cut a bitch.
Go for it-- we've had the same issues on this side of the country dealing with the Prince of Darkness. As Sail said, it's practically byzantine and adds another layer of stress to the family when they should be, you know, ALLEVIATING it.
Even more ~ma to you, Drew.

Ok. ND, call the Office of Patient Relations. The number for their Grossman Hospital office is 619-740-4060. That should be their direct line. If it isn't, I'll come out and cut a bitch.
