Oh, ita, that sucks.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
ita, God. That sounds horrible.
I understand the whole karma aspect, but I think it's a kind of reasonability test (not sure that's the right translation: I'm referring to the "what would the common person do in such case?" question in law). And I don't think anyone would point less than 9 or 10 in that case, ita.
I might also mention I know close to nothing about the American health system, but FWIW.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The scale seems cruel -- does it affect your treatment? I can imagine how it would be useful for identifying meningitis. But given you have a chronic condition, what do they get out of your numbering?
Two things I am currently enjoying: The John Hodgman interview where his perspective on the election is really interesting from the POV of a pretend fantasist: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus, ita. I hope the morning is better for you.

“Not dead yet!”
Question for the hivemind-- does a prescription dose of naprosyn have a tendency to make one sleepy/groggy?
ETA: Keeping in mind I'm the world's biggest lightweight. Half a dose of Dayquil makes me stupid.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Question for the hivemind-- does a prescription dose of naprosyn have a tendency to make one sleepy?
Nope. Except when whatever the pain is has been bad enough to keep me from sleeping, and then relieving the pain brings back the tired.

“Not dead yet!”
Huh-- I wonder if that's what it is, then. That I haven't been sleeping well and that relieving the pain is making me feel the tired.

I forgot to put on earrings this morning.
Sure sign I should have stayed in bed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember that statement that Hayes made? ("liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God") And then he denied saying it? Now he admits he said it, but he didn't mean it that way.
"I genuinely did not recall making the statement and, after reading it, there is no doubt that it came out completely the wrong way. I actually was trying to work to keep the crowd as respectful as possible, so this is definitely not what I intended," Hayes said in a statement for Politico.
That's nice.
