ita - good luck. I thought you had a pain specialist, and just needed a better one. But your current pain specialist is so bad it is like not having one? Or you lost yours? Or I was mistaken and you never had one?
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Yes, that is saying. Which is why I'm content to stay a 12/14, and constantly confuse people about my age.

Your face or your ass, right? Isn't that the saying?
Yep. It's stupid, but that's the saying.
I was just looking at nonprofit job listings, and it was stunning how many of them were in the emergency food / food bank / hunger business. I wonder if those guys are anticipating increased funding in the recession, or what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm on migraine specialist #2, TB. I used to have a pain specialist, but he kinda ran out of ideas. Turns out I'm back in his hands, since they won't move patients to new doctors in the pain practice.
Hopefully time has given him new ideas.

I know the local foodbanks are putting out extra pleas these days. And I've heard several radio pieces on people seeking assistance for the first time.

I know why they're getting more business -- I'm curious where they're getting the money to hire more back-office people.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I saw an article in New York Magazine, in their annual gift-giving issue, that listed NY charities that usually count on big donations from brokerage houses and aren't getting them this year.

Yeah, that pissed me off. All of us count on those dollars! And Joe Average, when thinking of who to give to this year, is going to think of City Harvest and the other well-known food agencies. Not that they don't need the money, but what about the food pantry in the church down the corner? Or non-emergency service organizations like mine?
Sorry, this is a super touchy subject for me right now.

Understandably!
It's really disconcerting to lift your face from washing it and be nose-to-nose with a curious cat. Especially when he then licks the end of your nose.
