Anybody have a link to a good summary of what the healthcare reform actually means? Like, bullet points or whatever, something saying "This, this, and this will change in this way, but this, this, and this will stay the same." I don't need something really detailed, just something that would give someone enough information that they'd know the basics and know what questions to ask.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

is it possible the loonies haven't yet thought to incorporate ACORN into the whole death boards thing?
They're already saying that part of the health care reform is to feed money into the hands of ACORN and other community "radical groups."

The White House has this.
Daily Show was very funny with the healthcare stuff tonight! Loved the panel o' pundits with Samantha, Aasif, and John O.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is really incredible

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, I could totally do that. Totally.
(Wow.)

Feel better, Juliebird. Hope you'll find that doctor's number ASAP.
So, remember a while ago here we were talking about the restaurant in SF where all the dishes have names like "I am empowered," and you have to order by saying "I am empowered" and then the waiter responds "You are empowered"?
I'm so using this next time when I'll need a good example of social construction.

Shir, here's their menu. [link] I've heard from several people who've gone there that they actually won't serve you if you don't order that way. If you say something like, "I'll have the empowered," the waiter will respond, "Do you mean you are empowered?" and this will continue until you say "I am empowered."

The kids menu is things like "I am a winner" and "I am a star" and "I am a hero."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'll have the, I am never eating there.
(Hey, that felt kinda good.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How about "I am empowering my ass right out of this restaurant." as a reply. I might go there just to do that. Any good restaurants nearby to get their perplexed overflow?
Father will be here in three weeks. Oh, yay.
Job I thought sounded like it had potential--the guy won't get back to me after what felt like a convivial interview, which is punkish bad form, even if they're still in the decision making process and don't have a yes or a no yet.
Updated my migraine blog for the first time in millenia, and then poked around OkCupid and answered some solicitations, which is just weird. I think Allyson has inspired me. Problem is, too broke to date. I'd have to be "that" girl, and I don't like her too much.
