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.

Well, actually we spend a lot of time drawing staves back after having just erased them.

Liese, please tell me you have a five-line chalk holder.

Much insurance~ma for Teppy and askye. Blood-draw and MRI-calmness~ma for sj. And plenty of it's-nothing~ma for Fay's sister. P.S. Fay, we love you all the time no matter what - you don't have to earn love (or ~ma) by showing yourself in thread at required intervals.

That's (1) super interesting from a nerdy POV, and (2) makes me even more sure that going off it is the right decision. Holy moly.

It's interesting to me, as well - especially since I am taking Wellbutrin together with Concerta. On paper, the Wellbutrin is for depression and the Concerta is for AD/HD (inattentive type) - but in reality, there is no telling where the increased energy of treated depression leaves off, and the increased motivation/focus of treated AD/HD begins for me.

Tim takes Ritalin for his ADD and Wellbutrin for depression. I imagine it works really well as a combo for some people.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Liese, please tell me you have a five-line chalk holder.

I did, back when it was actually a chalkboard. But my classroom is a whiteboard, and I don't know of one that does it for dry erase markers. There probably is one, though, isn't there? I thought about doing it with electrical tape so I could just erase the notes. But it's not my building, so I don't want to damage the board.

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

I'm not giving up my actual books. But I am not giving up my electronic versions either. Both are useful. That said...

When you’re done with it, you can display it in your home, like a hunting trophy.

Heh.

Yes, I like the convenience of my ereader, and I'm looking forward to taking a trip without either breaking my back or worrying about running out of books (I know that you all understand.) But, I will never stop reading actual books. I enjoy the tactile sensation, the feeling of accomplishment as the right side gets smaller and left one gets bigger.

Thrive to spite them

My COBRA FIASCO IS DONE!

I got a call at 8:30 this morning from the supervisor I spoke to yesterday letting me know I was enrolled, retroactively to BC/BS of Florida and she gave me an Id number and a phone number.

So I called and verified and she was RIGHT! I'm in. She walked me through the form to get reimbursed for my prescription and answered lots of helpful questions.

The deductible is really small, esp compared to get a BC/BS of VT plan and I looked on their website and found in network doctors here in VT (although I have to call and verify).

I also asked about an IUD since my old HMO didn't cover it. BC/BS will cover the doctor's visits but I'd have to buy the actual IUD, so I have no idea how much all of that is going to cost.
