I think the Obama administration needs a little PR campaign to explain that Medicare is a gubmint program and always has been.
People somehow don't seem to understand that.
"I don't want the Government interfering with my Medicare!"
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ooh, cool!
"I don't want the Government interfering with my Medicare!"
My landlord doesn't want ALL healthcare to be run by the government because it will reduce the funds for his Medicare. Or something.

It was clever to use the Narwhal to intersect with horses (making unicorns) and humans (making mermaids).
The whole Medicare=Government program disconnect reminds me that it took about three years to educate people that 911 Did Not Equal Iraq.
My country: bringing the stupid con gusto.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
it took about three years to educate people that 911 Did Not Equal Iraq
Apparently a lot of people still believe that it does.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think I've gone overboard purchasing "spirit wear" for Owen's school.
I'm such a Noob.

'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"
Yeah, but can one really have too much spirit?

Don't worry, you can catch the next family reunion in Vegas! They should be held annually.
I'm going to LOVE this family.
Alrighty, then. Off to the beach. There will be funnel cake. Oh, yes. There will.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Thanks for the birthday wishes, all. The dinner was scrumptious.
Today I lost my keys, so my birthday, extended though it was, is evidently over. Oh! And when I was in Sedona, I lost my wallet, but they had it at the store where I'd left it, so it was all painless and I owe a karmic debt to some nice stranger now. So I'm a little hacked at having now lost my (our only) house key. We have to retrieve one from a few of the people who have them.

Oh! Also I had a dream that there were <jillifont> two spiders madly weaving on my ceiling and that suddenly my room was full of bugs going to their certain doom.
I blame Kat's brown widow, come back to haunt us all. </jillifont>
