That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Ha, that's awesome! We've been talking about going to a bar that M really loves, the Library Bar -- how perfect would it be to meet up there?? [link]

I'll be there Friday May 27 through early Monday May 30, so maybe we could try to meet up on Saturday or Sunday? I think we're also planning to spend a night in Belfast, but I don't know if it's going to be Friday night or Saturday. At any rate, I can email you when the date approaches and when I have some idea of what our plans are.

We don't get in until Sunday morning (at 6:30am), so that would be the day. It's so funny that we live like 4 hours away but will meet up on another continent.

Punishingly Intricate

And of course we are all fools to think he was the mastermind of 9/11 anyway. She has proof. She has researched this stuff.

Oh my god! I just found out that my tax accountant is a 9/11 conspirasist! He's really smart about taxes though. but ugh.

So excited about Flean & Kate P going to Ireland! I'll have to get Dublin tips from you guys for our trip in July. I want to go to the Library bar!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Of course she also is homeschooling because she can't have her child brainwashed by the system. And she wouldn't give the kid immunizations either.

How is it that some folks do get the critical thinking thing and others do not? The antivax stuff makes me bananas.

There's an article on the costs of containing an outbreak: [link]

You're not just risking your kids' lives, but everyone else's. It's so completely selfish and based on information made up by morons and frauds.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, I don't know what I'm going to do - I have doctors I like at my current provider but the state has switched HMOs and the (the clinic) doesn't take either of my choices. They still take the regular insurance that I can choose but not for long (apparently).

Why are they willing to cut all university employees out of their patient-base?

Heh, I was thinking that too. OK, we'll try to get together on Sunday. I'll let you know when we have firmer plans. Woo! Library Bar!

Greg Laden's blog on Science Blogs has a nice bit on vaxes today:
The vaccination does make the baby cry, so why do it?

To spoil the plot a bit: because dying babies are usually too weak to cry in their last hours and are very very quite until they pass away.
