Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, my motherfucking god. Yesterday's prescription that I checked up on before lunch is not filled yet. Which they tell me after half an hour in line.
Meanwhile, there's an old lady that won't take her prescription because she insists her doctor has no middle name. Her prescription form lists a middle initial, but she freaked out and argued for almost ten minutes. Someone in line even went up to her and told her (in less dirty terms) to shit or get off the pot. She got off the pot.
Did anyone here mention that one of the Macarthur grantees is a typographist: [link] YAY fonts!

Jesus christe.
Oh ita, that totally BLOWS re: the script. I am at war with insurance these days and trying to be bitter and mad but failing.
I did have the best 15 min doc visit for me (that was from entering the door to exiting). They called me to go back before the co-pay receipt was printed!
Who is watching No Ordinary Family?
On the annoying platitude front I have a list:
God will never give you anything you can't handle.
I'm with ita on a big giant Fuck you. Ditto to the everything happens for a reason.
And on a personal note anything about how we're the right parents for a sick kid with cerebral palsy or that we must be so strong etc piss me OFF more than I can say. God knows I certainly didn't choose this and the person saying this won't ward off similar misfortune by saying they could never do this.
That's rotten, ita.
I will be watching No Ordinary Family in about an hour and a half, fwtw.
The exception proves the rule.
I think this uses an older sense of "prove" as "test". An exception tests a rule - if it proves to be true, the rule is false. Like, finding one black swan tests the rule "all swans are white" and proves it false.
They finally got me seen to. God freaking damn.
Being unwell is bad enough. Why does the establishment have to suck?
serial:
Like, finding one black swan tests the rule "all swans are white" and proves it false.
Except no one is using it that way. So it doesn't use that sense at all.
