'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I wish I could thank you and your peeps publicly. Is "Anonymous Behind the Scenes GM Employees Who Tried to Rescue Me Despite it Totes Not Being in Their Job Description" okay to thank?
Yeah, and if you want to put together a thank you email, I'll forward it along.
It would be nice to balance the idiots with people that actually tried to do something. I know the company can be dysfunctional, but there are good people working there.

Wrod. And thanks! I've been drafting a thanks. It's difficult to not be able to name names and say, "yo, these people make shit work. Do as they do."
Without youse guys, I think I would have fallen apart.
I have a former coworker named Yvonne, who wrote (on FB): I am so down with this beast. Among the failed efforts: "Entreaties delivered via animal psychic, who relayed that Yvonne 'didn't feel ready' to return to the world of humans."
Is that the same Yvonne who is also my former coworker? Because it is the first day of the semester over there....
Yay Allyson!
Depending on the type and stage of cancer, I might consider foregoing treatment. After watching Mom deal with chemo for late stage ovarian cancer, I decided I'd probably go for palliative treatment if I were in a similar situation. But I'd tell any partners what was happening. And I wouldn't go with the theory that bee pollen and mega-doses of vitamin C would work in place of cisplatin.
Yay Allison!
OK, is it weird that I kind of appreciate that I just saw a Domino's ad with a store employee whose gender was ambiguous to me?
then there are the people who hate "BigPharma" because they are only about profit and money and then turn around and spend tons of money on fake treatments.
And let's not forget that fake medicine is also a billion-dollar industry. It turns out you can make a lot more money when you don't have to prove that your products actually do anything. (Or, in the case of homeopathy, when the whole point is to guarantee that your products contain nothing at all.)
Allyson, your car! Yay! BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE INTERWEBS!
And it's not just fake supplements it's also fake gadgets. Like Zappers, EMF protectors. Miracle things that make your water "forget" it's water memory.

Hah! I've seen that ad, and was quite pleased.
