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.

Yeah, Typo, you wouldn't want you health decisions made by a bunch of bureaucrats.

My health insurance went up $50 a month for next year. I couldn't afford it before. It's not like I can shop for health insurance. Like Gar, I'm uninsurable outside of a pool.

Thrive to spite them

The stuff I sent via Amazon to my family got there! I didn't spring for wrapping so they'll just open the box.

We're going to Skype - Mom said I'll have a place on the couch and she'll make sure I can see all the presents.

She told me I have to get up early Xmas morning and have Skype ready because she's going to try and be waiting for Evander to come down the stairs and see the tree.

Last year he was so cute - he went and saw the tree and saw his tricycle and sat on it for the whole day. Not just for presents, he watched videos from the comfort of the tricycle seat.

The insurance stuff sucks and it's complicated and so much of the current system deals with what people claim will happen if we change the system.

The insurance stuff sucks and it's complicated and so much of the current system deals with what people claim will happen if we change the system.

But at least it's the most expensive system available without being commensurately effective. So we can rest assured were paying top dollar for mediocre outcomes. Yay.

It's sort of like shopping at Best Buy.

Ride in Daniel's new (to us) van. DONE

I must gush about the van. It was left to my mom by her boyfriend Ray when he died. She had put it in storage when I mentioned that my truck was sucking down gas at an appalling rate.

So now it's mine. Sort of on permanent loan, for now.

It's a 2000 Chevy Venture minivan with the Warner Brothers package.

It has a drop down LCD screen behind the front seats so passengers can watch videos.

The part that made me laugh today was when I realized they didn't have a DVD player. It has a VHS player in the center console.

All that wiring and Chevy couldn't spring for DVD in 1999?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's kind of hysterical. Did we have DVDs in 99?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay for the van, Daniel!

Smonster, you're killing on that list.

Bonny, as everyone else has said, you and B-boy were soulmates, right for each other. You supported and loved each other without reservation, and it fell out to be you who had to see him off and live without him, and not the other way around. I know he thought he was the luckiest dog, ever, and I also know he actually was, pretty much. He done good. So did you.

We have no insurance. We need no insurance. We accept whatever percentage off they give us for low admin for self-pay. And if the day comes we can't afford to self-pay, we'll refuse treatment other than palliative, and get on with things. In our case, it's a decision we made, and we're comfortable with it.
