Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

After CJ got home from working at the dojo, he was invited over to a friend's house for the evening. CJ and at least 4 14-yer old girls. He dressed a little nicer than usual and he smelled good. Acccckkkkkk.

I went out without him, wandered the game store and ended up with a puzzle. I also got the car washed. After the discussion here recently, I realized I didn't recall when I got it washed last so it had to be time. Then I made the mistake of going to Whole Paycheck.

Somewhere in the last 30 minutes of being out my headache came back with a vengeance. No fair!

And, separately, I have a hivemind question. I got a question from a childhood friend of mine who currently lives in Israel. I'm hoping y'all can help me find an answer...

"Can you please help me figure out which US state has the best medical care for uninsured people with a pre-existing condition?"

HAH. Word. Although to be fair, the new Act does require insurers to take on people with pre-existing conditions. Assuming the Act survives the myriad legal challenges against it.

I have become a lump.

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

He dressed a little nicer than usual and he smelled good. Acccckkkkkk.

Ack!!!!!

"Can you please help me figure out which US state has the best medical care for uninsured people with a pre-existing condition?"

Guessing, I'd say Mass.

I cannot breathe. I am either sick or just getting slammed by allergies. Trepanning sounds like an awesome thing right now. Snot, sneezing and another brutal headache. I need to get back on my script allergy meds. I feel like ass.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Insurance is required in MA, is the deal here. So I don't know what happens if you're uninsured.

Thrive to spite them

Vermont might. I know they have laws prohibiting insurance companies from denying for pre existign conditions. They also have state run insurance for those who don't have any or can't get it through their job, based on certain parameters. And on a sliding fee scale based on income.

I think it would be whatever state has the best public hospitals, no? Those are the ones that have to serve the uninsured. I don't think pre-existing conditions come into it.

Just in time for the next snow.

Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. I...kinda don't want any more snow days. We are gonna be in school till July at this rate, and I feel like I've been teaching the books I've been teaching for about 2 years. Ugh.

and the snow is almost melted off my driveway, and I don't want to shovel another 8 feet.
