Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I should tell my old boss that -- her big tip for presenting at a board meeting was to unbutton more buttons if you felt unprepared...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

to add fifteen minutes of dancing in the morning.

What the FUCK? Obviously she doesn't understand that you have an actual physical problem, not that you're suffering extreme lack of shaking your groove thang. Fifteen minutes of dancing is not a goddamn cure for anything.

Her response after I said I didn't want to continue the trazadone was to try melatonin and tryptophan and valerian.

You mean to try OTC non-drug methods? Is she even an actual licensed physician? That's fucking bullshit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is she even an actual licensed physician?

Does she dress sexy? Does she dress like a Dalek? Is she a Dalek?

eta: Is she a Dalek with an "I ♥ Tino" button?

I don't think it's a terrible thing to say so much as something that *I* could say. And I am absolutely NOT a doctor nor claiming specialist expertise. You should expect more.

Republican House Candidate Calls For Violent Government Overthrow If GOP Loses Election

Stephen Broden, a “constitutionalist pastor” from Texas who won the Republican nomination for Texas’ 30th Congressional District, made a vaguely threatening statement at a Tea Party event last year. He described the federal government as “tyrannical” and said that “we have a constitutional remedy. And the Framers say if that don’t work, revolution.”

Yesterday, a political reporter for WFAA in Dallas-Fort Worth asked Broden to explain whether he was actually calling for violence against the federal government. After a “prolonged back-and-forth,” Broden said a violent overthrow is “on the table”:

“If the government is not producing the results or has become destructive to the ends of our liberties, we have a right to get rid of that government and to get rid of it by any means necessary,” Broden said, adding the nation was founded on a violent revolt against Britain’s King George III.

Watson asked if violence would be in option in 2010, under the current government.

“The option is on the table. I don’t think that we should remove anything from the table as it relates to our liberties and our freedoms,” Broden said, without elaborating. “However, it is not the first option.”

Huh. Not every day that a candidate for Congress from a major party says the violent overthrow of the US Government is "on the table."

Isn't that treason? Or treading close to it?

Glad you have the Ambien scrip to go back to, ita. Too bad sleep doc was such a bust.
