Buffy ,'Empty Places'
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.
Both Deb's birthday and Nic's (and also my Aunt Pauly's, but nobody here knows her. I don't think. If she's lurking, happy birthday, Aunt Pauly!).
Matilda quote just for Scrappy:
As she was struggling with her footie pajamas a few minutes ago she paused to ponder the foot that was causing most of the trouble, and then said, "I was thinking. If I made a little birdhouse in my soul, I would probably get a splinter."
Thanks for birthday wishes!
Is it deb g's birthday too (or may Nic's, or maybe their anniversary)?
We're all three born on June 28th.
Watching this unfold in real time is reporting hilarity.
Matilda rocks.
Happy Birthday, Hec.
I heard that the mandate was upheld.
But I'm sure that more indepth reports will be coming out throughout the day.
The Supreme Court has struck down the individual mandate for health care - the legislation that requires all to have health insurance.
That's no birthday present! Try again SCOTUS dogs.
"I was thinking. If I made a little birdhouse in my soul, I would probably get a splinter."
Tiny philosopher!
The Cindy quote I repeat most often is, "These cats aren't going to stack themselves."
SCOUTS summarizes bottom line as entire ACA upheld, only the Medicaid bit being torn up a little.
I do miss work chat too. Although it was being monitored (everything was saved, and the CIO would read random chats every week) and we had strict rules about what we could and could not do (no foreign language, even if it's "obvious"), it made for some quick and relaxed communication. It didn't have to be as "for posterity" as an email, but served as a good "we don't have to call to talk about this, do we?" means of communication.
I want it back.
Though I was surprised at how many people my age and/or higher than me in the food chain bust out the emoticons and ROFLOLed all over the place.
Still not cute, guys.
The Cindy quote I repeat most often is, "These cats aren't going to stack themselves."
I still like, "Xander. In a Speedo. Wet."
Yay. And interesting about Roberts.
In your face, CNN!
ETA: they're walking it back:
Correction: The Supreme Court backs all parts of President Obama’s signature health care law, including the individual mandate that requires all to have health insurance.
