[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

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.

Our wings are not tired

I might have to see if I can get one of my employees to wear a sticker like that based on a dare...

I don't mind throwing something unrelated in either. It will be ignored, found later, or sometimes add a conversation.

Esp. since I don't talk much about shoes

I bet you could get Mark J to drink the spicy salsa.
