Today, my officemate went off on a rant about how the TIAA-CREF retirement fund is forcing him to invest in all kinds of things that he doesn't want to invest in, because he'll only invest in precious metals, because that's the only real commodity, and the Fed is ruining our currency, and a dollar isn't worth anything anymore, the only thing worth anything now is gold.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Glenn Beck said so on TV - it must be true!
You should counter by saying you only invest in nonhybrid seeds. Or oil.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hivemind query:
So, my sleeping is CRAZY out-of-whack. Crazy. I haven't gotten decent sleep in about 2 weeks, and I can't fall asleep unless I've been up for about 18-20 hours. I get up about 4pm and get to bed about 11 am or noon.
I am a shuddering mess right now, and I woke up at 4:15 -- too late to try to schedule a doctor visit. I am seriously thinking about urgent care to try and see if I could get a script for Ambien, because the thought of being up for another long, long night followed by more crap sleep is sending me into panic attack mode.
Is this even a plausible thought? I just want to SLEEP, but I'm afraid I would look like craxy drug-seeking girl and I would pay to get denied. Thoughts? I've only been to an urgent care once, for a screaming sinus infection.

Yeah, because Wall Street frakked everything else, with help from the Republicans.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Eta: now what do I do?
So that's it then, really? Total pisser. But, uh, since I don't know what you wanted to do, I don't know what to tell you to do now. Unless you want completely frivolous suggestions. That I can do.
Eat a cupcake!
Burn that prof in effigy!
Alphabetize your DVDs/books/etc!

Ah, never mind on the urgent care query. Not enough money, so it's moot.
Phone is also turned off til Friday (payday) Sure hope none of my job prospects call.
Fan-fucking-tastic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Erin}}} Not enough sleep makes everything else so much harder. I wish I had some idea that might help.

Yup. Nothing like an endless round of worrying about trying to sleep. And now I might lose the line on the only job-nibbles I have had in months.
It's very, very frustrating and depressing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Kanji symbols are... controversial in tattooing, from what I know. I think they are passing out of fashion, and are often roundly mocked by Japanese/Chinese speakers.
If I were ever to get a Hanzi tattoo, it would be 有仁 ('Yŏu Rén'). It means 'benevolent'. It's also Ryan's Chinese name. I'm pretty confident I haven't mistranslated it or missed any "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" wackiness (unless Wallybee's parents are in on it, and I wouldn't entirely put it past her father). It is, however, phonetically identical to "This toilet is occupied".
It looks like the feeding tube will be coming out tomorrow barring any major setbacks.
Excellent!
