Uggh, askye, that is ridic. And fucking annoying.

I just picked up two prescriptions, and I thought they were going to be full price b/c I thought my insurance had run out, but they weren't. So I didn't ask questions. If I have to go back and pay more later, fine, but je suis le tres broke right now.

Clearly with Lake Champlain flooding you need to keep your eyes peeled for Champ.

smonster, take it as a gimme. This is awful, but they'll bill you and you can pay them AFTER you get some movin' done. They got money.

You don't. And you need drugs, dammit. (Wait, that didn't come out right...)

Why is it that no matter how much I know about body image and gender in the US, I still feel like crap when I see the models on TV?

Pix, you've been feeling absolutely shitty all week-- the body image demons see this as primo "Let's kick you when you're down," time.

Kick back. Or if you need, let us kick them. Hard.

You? Please! You're absolutely beautiful!

Thanks, ladies. Living in LA can be really bad for one's self-image. I'm downright chunky next to most of the women I see in and around my workplace (and though I've gained some weight, I do know in the rational part of my brain that I'm not overweight in any meaningful way). I think Barb nailed it--I've been feeling so sick and miserable and haven't been able to exercise, which I really want to start doing again. All that combined is making BID's come out of the closet.

My gorgeous little pixie? no way! I'm sorry that you're feeling this way, but when the demons come out, try to imagine all of us at an F2F kissing them into submission ;)

Thanks sweetie. I needed that.

...and I just got my period and some nasty cramps to boot. The BIDs are making a tad more sense now.

How lovely to be a woman?
