Forget miraculous experimental treatment and medicines
Like stemcell research???

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Speaking as someone who's spent their whole frigging LIFE with that European socialist healthcare thing? I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's not made of total fail either. I heartily endorse your e-mail to the interfering old bag, vw.

Mostly lurking...
Mom tells me to ignore them. Delete and ignore. But, when an e-mail pops up in my inbox with the subject line, "Time to eat, drink and be merry so you die before medical benefits are denied!," it's hard to ignore. I'd prefer them to just not show up.
And it's not worth it to engage her. So, this feels like my only other option.

That's weird. I usually see the term "preventative medicine." But Google seems to think I'm crazy.
I run across that term often in what I edit, and we take out the extra "ta" every time, to the point that reading/hearing "prevenTAtive" makes me twitch. (Like hearing a singular verb with "data" -- NPR, I'm looking at you.)
That's one of those editing changes that I've been doing for so long, and automatically, that I no longer remember the origin -- I don't remember if it's AMA style, or what.

Is preventive a different word, or not a word at all?
Preventive is a word. Preventative is not a word. Preventative makes the baby Jesus cry.
-Oh well, elections have consequences and this one has destroyed my beloved country.
No, that was the two elections before this one.
Clark Howard usually recommends used cars, because of the way the value of a car drops precipitously as you drive off the lot. The other day, however, he was talking about its being a completely buyers' market for new cars right now.
For the last 23 years, I have driven small Nissan pickups. I'm in the 10th year of the second one.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Preventive is a word. Preventative is not a word. Preventative makes the baby Jesus cry.
That's irregardless.
