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.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, I hope that things are resolved for you at least from a pharmacy perspective.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Zen, Snopes addresses and debunks that one (which had been my understanding, as well)

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

Thanks. For two weeks I am good. I hope not to be back moaning then.

Because books.
I want to have a sit-down and a come-to-jesus with your doctor like you cannot believe, ita. There's no reason not to write scrips for a month, and given what he's prescribing for, the added stress of running short and scrambling to refill is Not Cool and completely counterintuitive.

Two weeks of meds is depressing as hell.
We are currently using a non-optimal med because we have to wait until 10/15 before they will refill the optimal med. It's a fucking drag. And we can't get an authorization for more g-tubes even though ours NEVER last the promised 3 months. The best we get are 6 weeks.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.
Right? When someone says "You're a better person than me." I want to ask them wtf they think they would do if mac was their child. Like what? they just wouldn't parent him.

A sign announcing 'Free parking on Sunday' should lead one to conclude that on every other day of the week there will be a charge levied for leaving one's car in that spot. The posted exception, therefore proves (demonstrates) that at other times the rule is in effect.
I think this is right. It matches the French version of this saying: l'exception fait la règle (The exception makes, or sometimes confirms, the rule).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That's ridiculous wrt the prescriptions. It should not be this hard.
And yeah. You do what you have to do. It's not a matter of strong or good. It's a matter of you have to, so you do.
