good luck on private insurance Hil. I was rejected by three different insurers because as a child i had asthma, and migraines in adolescence. Neither were current conditions when i applied. I even kept the FMS diagnosis off my chart entirely but those other two "pre-existing conditions" apparently made me scary enough that no private company would offer me coverage. After being rejected twice, no one else would even talk to me. I have to have a group policy through work.
eta: ymmv. things change. if you're willing to shell out over 1k a month you can probably find something. i'm trying to not make this into a rant about our private health insurance system but it sure is hard to ignore how much the sytem screwed me over when i was young and healthy and not part of group coverage.
Anybody else have The Crushes That Never Die?
Had one or two die after 15 years or so....

I can't think of any. There are a couple of cases of I wish I had gone out with someone back when, but only back when, and they wouldn't have been long term things.
I remember having crushes that wouldn't die...but they all seem to have quietly gone on. It that just a function of time passing or my general peace of mind. Probably a combo.
I used to love feeling crushy...but I don't miss it now.

Yeah. I've never ended up dating or sleeping with a crush, so they don't excite me like they used to.
Aw man, Lewis just texted me that he just watched Dhani Harrison playing Beatles Rock Band in the presentation at his conference. Said he looks just like George.
So, I managed to do something brainless. Which nine times out of ten would have just been annoying, but is now slightly problematic. Brainless thing was to forget to keep taking the BCPs so I wouldn't have a cycle this month. Not a big deal generally, but now I have a cold, and I get to choose between cold meds and cramp meds. Jolly! I
think
I can just cut down on the cramp meds, since cold meds have pain relievers as well, but I'm a little worried about taking acetominephen and aleve together. Thoughts?

It's not a problem, b/c they're different drug classes and work differently.
I just pissed off a student. He asked me for scrap paper, and I directed him to the recycling bin. He wrinkled his nose, and walked over to our display of handouts (many of which are color prints) and grabbed a stack, saying, "I'll just use these." I stopped him with a severe look and, "those aren't scrap paper, so please don't use them that way." He then gave me the speech about how his tuition pays for everything here.
I think I broke something trying to keep my eyes from rolling out of my head and my lips from not forming the words, "You're a jerk."
Instead I pointed out that using resources that way will most certainly increase his tuition next year. With a big smile on my face.
