smonster: HOW DO THE FUCKERS OPT OUT? THEY MADE IT THE LAW SO FUCKERS WOULD STOP NOT DOING IT?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My fucking health plan has opted out of fucking mental health parity. How they get to do this, I don't know.
Yeah, what?? I thought that was the law now? Or something? How can they opt out? And, more importantly, how can they change it in the middle of the year??
Wait? What?! How could she not like you? Clearly she is out of her mind crazy, and not worth pursuing
Sigh. I have no idea, clearly I am FABULOUSITY ITSELF, and she should have pursued me at first glance, but she didn't. Maybe she will eventually. Who knows. In the meantime, she is a cutie with an engineering degree who likes to ballroom dance--perfect for me!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Apparently, state and local govt can opt out of certain requirements for the part that is "self-funded" rather than provided through an insurance policy. The quotes are theirs. Now, if somebody could just translate that to English... Buncha dodgy fuckers. Sounds like fancy accounting. This is also how they're getting to do their "let's charge fat people and smokers more" initative.
Our plan year starts July 1st. But our FSA follows the calendar year. Not to complicate things more or anything.

And while I'm bitching, why can't my iPhone find the fucking 3g network today? Dammit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think most things we're "expected" to do as adults have little or no real reason behind them. There might be other, better ways to do things now - like paying bills online - or they might just be unnecessary - like making the damn bed every day. I mean, really, who cares?
I pay all my bills online. There's no way I would ever get anything in on time otherwise. As for making the bed, I like the feeling of getting into a nicely made bed where the sheets aren't all tangled up already. Plus, I had enough years of summer camp that I have a pretty strict ingrained sense of what a made bed should look like.

Our wings are not tired
We are just watching the Simpsons and Bart uttered what is now my tagline. It is far too fitting.

Oh, ND. Cold comfort.
Thanks for indulging my rage blackout. I'm going to walk the dog and go to bed. At least my iPhone has found 3G after a sync and reboot.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I heard of some study that said making your bed just gives the dust mites a warm dark cozy place to live, while leaving the sheets exposed might kill some of them off, which would be better for allergy sufferers. What's the point anyway? You're just gonna mess it up again in 16 hours, or less if you're as fond of afternoon naps as I am.I stand by this study 100%. Although, if someone is coming over, I try to at least make the top blanket spread out and look a bit tidy. Alas, my sister took a double helping of the cleaning gene, and left me with none. Oh well.

AFAIC, there's absolutely no obligation to pay bills in any one particular format, old- or new-fangled.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I seriously saw that one just a couple of nights ago! Isn't it the one where whatshername, the country singer, cut the word "Pop" out of everything because her dad stole her song and gave it to the Dixie Chicks? (The cutting-out being what led to Bart's comment?)
