We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Dude, WTH? Who was it?

Re: doctors and fat people:

My friends and I used to have a joke: One of us fat girls walks into Emergency with an axe sticking out between the shoulders, and they would prescribe weight loss before doing emergency surgery.

Interview a doctor? For free? Really? I've never heard of such a thing. How I wish I had known that last week.

If any among you has ~ma to spare, think of me tomorrow morning, because I'll be having a first appointment with a new doctor to discuss the car accident and other stuff too. Have I mentioned that I hate and fear doctors? They are all mean people who suck and are more interested in operational billing departments than health care delivery. Plus I just don't want to go. My favorite joke lately is that it will be more dignified to just die in the back yard before submitting my precious flesh to those horrible, awful, self righteous un helpful nasty people in the medical profession.(rant, rave, fume, expostulate)

Why is my wisdom tooth socket still aching? The tooth was removed two and a half months ago! And it still hurts like hell.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Phantom tooth?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Dude, WTH?

I suspect it was Brighter Planet for NO voting. Still, it was a momentarily startling thing.

Ow. This is hurting worse than it did before the tooth was removed, and codeine is doing nothing.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ouchies, Hil! Have you been evaluated for dry socket? I can't remember.

Calm~ma and good doctor~ma, Katie Bee.

I'm glad my mother and father both wasted their lives in the medical profession.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wait? what? People don't tip?? I always wonder if I under or over tip, but NO tip? WTF? So, what is proper tip for delivery?

When I was delivering drugs I went to three towns. One was very wealthy, one was average/mixed, one was very poor.

The first were almost all on account and only one time did I ever get a tip. The second were a mix of account and cash and I generally got tipped. The third were a mix of public assistance (so they didn't pay cash either) and cash and I was NEVER not tipped in that town. People would dig in their couch cushions to tip me.

As it was unfolding I was giving the first town the benefit of the doubt for a long time since they were just signing a sheet and didn't have their wallets involved in the transaction. The same was true for the families on assistance as well, however, and they would apologize for keeping me waiting while they sent a kid to grab a coin jar or started digging through coat pockets.

I don't know if it said anything about human nature, but it certainly said something about who had ever worked for tips.
