"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"We are not taking on any new patients who are sick."

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

Because books.

That's ... really so unsurprising, msbelle. Fuckheads.

I've fallen into the drabbles and I can't get out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Isn't that like a GP practice saying, "we are not taking new patients who are diabetic, or on blood pressure meds."

Yeah, it's totally like that. WTFery, indeed.

I need to make a doctor's appointment. And dentist. Meh.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I've decided there is not enough FUCK YOU in the world for them, so I am calling other Drs.

Even moreso now that it has been over an hour and no callback. HATE.

Perhaps I need to eat more than the bowl of cheetos I just had (with chopsticks, Scola FTW!)but I think my rage will stay, even after food.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

My dentist office just called to tell me that my secondary insurance isn't paying because they have my date of birth wrong. Ok, I can see that being an issue, but they have paid other claims this year and last year. wtf?

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

Insurance companies are looking harder for reasons to deny claims?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh. This conversation has reminded me to call the Dr for a follow up appointment. Too bad the receptionist put me on hold, and with totally insipid hold music.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I need to vacuum for a dinner party tonight, but the cats are sleeping WAY too cutely.

ETA: even as I posted that, Avon got even cuter. FML, right?!
