I love breakfast food any time of day, so brunch is made of win in my book.
Rapid-fire TV news bulletins or getting updates via social-networking tools such as Twitter could numb our sense of morality and make us indifferent to human suffering, scientists say.
NSM with the Twitter but the argument that overstimulation and too much information too fast numbs our sense of empathy resurfaces on a fairly regular basis. And while I agree it sounds inane to level it WRT Twitter, I have to admit that I was surprised to find myself agreeing with the basic premise when one of my classes was discussing the use of torture in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, and most of the class felt that stress positions, sleep deprivation, the undressing and humiliation of prisoners, even waterboarding, weren't really torture because they can see worse things depicted in any number of main stream movies, like the Saw series.
I would get on swearing.com and let my inner homicide detective run free...David Simon wrote that homicide detectives will one day have a new language composed of two profanities.
Brunch: Haven't really done this since I was a kid.
buffets: Awkward for me due to the chair thing.
omg Bloomberg inc, I hate you and your million and one half bills. Also? do not email one day about a late bill, send a new copy of the late bill AND THEN cut off service 2 days later without telling me that was the plan. payment turn around is more than 2 days, even on a fast track. grrr.
People, if you don't start posting more I will be forced to browse eBay, and that may not end well.
Medical paperwork is a pain. I just opened ten envelopes from my insurance company and various doctors, and exactly three of them contained something that I had to do something with. The rest were all "This is to acknowledge receipt of your recently submitted claim" or something like that. And, my personal favorite, an envelope containing two sheets of paper apologizing for having sent me the same bill twice.
Medical insurance companies are just doing their bit to stop global warming by sequestering excess carbon into paperwork.
I go to physical therapy once a week. And every single time, they have to send me a paper acknowledging that I went. Then another one that says "Explanation of Benefits -- This is Not a Bill!" Then, finally, a bill. So, three separate mailings a week, just from physical therapy stuff.

Hate to tell you, but everyone here already knows everything interesting....
Medical paperwork reminds me I have a couple of medical bills to pay tonight. I don't like bills from places that aren't already in my online banking.
Gud is me wrt medical bills. boo hiss!
