Sadly no. We are also discouraged from kicking them in the face but I'm pretty sure that's just a guideline if they are standing in front of you being painfully stupid.

Hey, people FALL. In all manner of directions. Gravity is a cruel, cruel, mistress to some of us and if you're standing too close when she attacks well that's just your dumb luck.

Aaaaaaah, i give up on stalking the agent's seller. They are taking too long to make a decision, and i am exhausted. Hitting the sack for now, but if it's ok will hold to that realestate~ma for a bit longer just in case they are still discussing/deciding things. Thanks!!!!

Oh, sure. Now you say this. But when that bitch Gravity does attack? I get sent fire extinguishers and sent to the doctor for concussion evaluations.

Just try to stand closer to those Katrina people when she DOES. Then you'll get cookies and flowers too.

Cass, you just need to perfect your aim on the way down.

offer~ma, erin!

Tomorrow is going to be crazy. I'm off to see a plastic surgeon for a referral about reduction surgery. Not sure how that's going to work out.

Craving chocolate. Have none in the house. Waaaaaaaaa!

I'm getting worried about health insurance. A lot of the jobs that are looking for new Ph.D.s are adjunct positions, which at a lot of universities don't come with benefits. I know that any private insurance company where I tried to apply for coverage would take one look at my medical history and reject me immediately. I also know that, even if I do get a job that has health insurance, pretty much all of my most expensive stuff would be rejected as preexisting conditions.

Preexisting conditions usually means x number of days of no coverage and it appears

so my diabetes is NOT a preexsiting condition no matter how many times we get to do the insurance dance. or my asthma or DH's extra difficult GERD.

As long as you have had insurance - you might cost more, but you should get coverage.

I looked this up when I was diagnosed with diabetes.

And even if you have something that is defined as pre-existing, usually there is a time period ( 6 months , a year} when you won't get covered. then you will.

Now it has been awhile since I reviewed this -- but i'm guessing the details have changed , not the definition.

I don't mind popping in something totally non-related. I accept the fact that sometimes my post will slip beneath the waves unnoticed, the price to pay for the freeform thread.

Me too. Here is an example. Today at work, I drank 2 cups of homemade salsa on a dare. It was really good salsa, and would have been worth it even if my supervisor hadn't promised to wear a sticker on her forehead that says, "I'm a nerd" as my reward.

Yeah, we're all really mature, there.
