Like mexico here. At least before we turned to Hang Em High. That's really awful, Laura. I totally want to "party with the Haiti-ans,"(/Clueless)
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
What gets to me is that most of the political arguments about health care rarely include the kid who didn't get treated soon enough, or the woman who is blind because of diabetes, or the families who try to eke out medications, probably not helping the disease and increasing antibiotic resistance. Instead, those people who, in an alternate universe, "chose" to be uninsured are perfectly healthly until they take advantage of the system and take all their kids to the ER to be treated for the flu.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That said, I like your 17-year+ plan. As much as we wanna send negative energy to the cancer, we need to send positive energy to Ginger, and judging from the 120+ posts, we got a great start.
This is a very good point. I woke up today extremely angry on Ginger's behalf and angry at the doctor's and schedulers who made it so difficult for her to get her diagnosis. However, I am trying to turn that anger into positive thoughts for Ginger.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Ginger,
you are absolutely correct, which makes me blind with rage with Santorum when he talks about how its people's fault that they aren't insured.
A month later he mentioned that his youngest daughter's illness nearly bankrupted them as a family and they HAVE insurance.
I'm about to go WTF all over him with 8 clue x fours.
Laura,
good grief. (shaking my head). what a tragedy.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Adding my voice to the chorus of love and support for you, Ginger. May there be love and strength in abundance for you when you need it, and may you know every step of the way how much you are loved and cherished by all of us.
Laura, my heart goes out to you and your family. It's so damned senseless, the waste of lives.
And now I need to go find the tissues at work.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
JenP, I'm glad your mother is doing better. Continued ~ma is headed her way.
{{{Ginger}}}, just because I can.
Laura, that is heartbreaking. I hope Bobby--and the rest of you--can find some peace.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Sometimes, Karl, I think it's senseless. Sometimes I think it's part of a very deliberate strategy. I don't know which makes me wanna holler more.

oh, Laura, that is so sad and rage-making.
