Hi LyraJane! Long time, no see! So glad to see your pixels around again!
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Oh, geez msbelle! Much calming ~ma to you and Mac. Wow.
Stress needs to fuck the hell off of you!
One day, I will know something. One day.
This is my dream, too.
Gud, going back to the racism thing, were you referring to the geographic segregation of KC?
For those who don't know KCMO, there's a major N/S street that runs the length of the city that divides where the poorer African Americans predominate and on the other a long narrow strip to the state line where most of the Caucasians live.
I lived in one of the transitional neighborhoods between an almost all black highschool and middle school and the chichi art institute. It was an interesting mix.
But, Gud's right about the schools. KC's school board is a disgrace and anybody who can afford to sends their kids to parochial or otherwise private schools.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, msbelle. Yes, listen to the wise insurance advice. This is definitely emergency stuff.
For those who don't know KCMO, there's a major N/S street that runs the length of the city that divides where the poorer African Americans predominate and on the other a long narrow strip to the state line where most of the Caucasians live.
Like 8 Mile in Detroit. It's the white flight divider.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
New poll finds that 39 percent of Americans want government to ‘stay out of Medicare.’
The poll also shows that an additional 15% of respondents were “not sure” if the government should be involved in Medicare. Only 46% of respondents disagreed with the proposition that the government should stay out of the government-run program.
Possibly our country is too stupid to live....

Oh, Christ, iGoogle has added social gadgets. Because there is not enough social networking online already!

“Not dead yet!”
Oh msbelle, I'm so, so fucking sorry. And you should definitely find a hospital staff member to take care of insurance and hopefully ass 'em in the ear hard. Lots of ~ma and good thoughts for you and mac.

I'm sorry. I'm hoping you are getting some help from the staff.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Still vibing for the two of you, msbelle.
(As bad as this is, it occurs to me that having this crisis at this age is better than having it when he's a teenager or an adult, when self-medicating drug use would complicate things even more, not to mention having a smart parent who can make necessary decisions. I know he's in good hands with you.)
