On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Always Anti-fascist!

obviously, somebody made a mistake, but which one? Actually, changing my doctor to the same one as my mom's was not as hard as I feared. Automated system was sort of difficult to use, but did cut down on hold time,

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Julie, I second what msbelle said. Do not ignore. Also? make sure to note time, day, duration of call, and the names of all representatives to whom you speak. If this becomes a clusterfuck, good documentation may prove that the screwing around was not on your part.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

All sorted. The lady on the phone kept saying "this makes no sense, why did they do this?". The big number was, oddly, the total of a payment plan I'd already set up to pay off over the course of 6 months, yet they'd lumped it back at me. So I don't have to pay anything this month (but I will, just to reduce the future months installments).

AM TIRED.

Also, Rick's story about the blocks reminded me: I was listening to something about gendered play on NPR and there was a study that said if teachers put blocks on a table and not the floor, girls are more likely to play with them. I wonder why?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because girls are taught not to get dirty and playing on the floor is dirty?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tom and Lorenzo on the male stars for Much Ado: [link] I think Sean Maher is adorable. But it's true that Alexis Denisof needed something other than gray.

But blocks on tables is an easy fix. And it works. It's just interesting that the floor is a limiting option.
