Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Those kids of yours are beautiful, Kat. We are supposed to go out of town next week, but I'm back the week after that. Let's do something then.

Thanks for the link btw. It says the same thing I heard, which is that the bill will be "abortion neutral" but to me it doesn't seem neutral at all to scrupulously protect all federal money from paying for abortions.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

My COBRA payments should be in the $550 range but there was something the Obama Administration did that means I only have to pay a third for a few months. I'm hoping to have a job before this little gift ends in October.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

My COBRA was considerably less than any insurance I could get on my own. It depends entirely on your plan.

I complain about the cost of my current insurance, but I've certainly gotten my money's worth.

Yes, I could not get my own insurance for any reasonable price because I have a chronic condition.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Is it just me, or is ryan billytea unfairly handsome?

No, I think that's a reasonable reaction. Gaze upon my genetic legacy, ye mighty, and despair!

Random thoughts from the recent discussions: my younger brother got right into all that PUA stuff. (This is the one who's just got engaged.) He once told me I would be good at it, which I doubt, and as I pointed out to him, he and I were looking for different things from dating. I did look into some of the stuff. There was some good advice on self-esteem, the rest reminded me of The Rules.

America's health insurance system is the one thing that reliably pissed me off about living in America. Is it really not apparent that the current system is the one with lack of choice and bureaucrats making medical decisions?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. Coincidentally, Gabe and Tycho had a whole faux-debate (and then real discussion) about PUA yesterday and today. It's interesting.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Can't help but imagining BT's chasing Ryan with a camera in about 15 years, and Ryan's reaction to that.
