How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Thrive to spite them

According to some of my relatives Obama is EVIL. He's going to cause the American government to fall and which will lead to either a WAR FOR OUR VERY LIVES or OCCUPATION by a foreign government.

Because he is THE ANTI CHRIST!

Eh, I think there was a heck of a lot of Bush hatred too. Doesn't mean I don't roll my eyes at some of the more whackaloon anti-Obama conspiracies.

Yeah, I can't get too mad at the people who are calling Obama names, because how many people called Bush Shrub? Tit for tat.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah well, it is one thing to call names, it is quite another to have a concerted planned, funded effort for the Obama administration to fail from minute 1.

Not to mention the racial element to the anti-Obama sentiment. I don't really think this is a case of "both sides are culpable" given the enmity (and racism) I see at Tea Party rallies.

yep

I can't handle having so many in government and on tv actually saying that they hope the government fails. I don't get how it isn't insurrection.

Yes, the level of diatribe is immensely higher with Obama. But the basic name-calling is an American political tradition.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I need someone to complain to, if you guys don't mind.

I broke a tooth over a year ago but didn't do anything about it because I didn't have insurance and I was hoping to get hired at the job I've been temping at for more than two years.

Well, I haven't gotten hired so I signed up for dental insurance through the healthcare.gov site. Only to find that they wouldn't cover work on the tooth for a year. So I cancelled that and signed up for one I found online that said there was no waiting for that kind of procedure.

So, I finally go to the dentist and find out that my new dental plan won't pay for any of the root canal and crown. so I have to come up with the almost $2000 on my own.

The dental office handed me an application for a credit service they use to spread the payments out.

So, I'm a little pissed and not sure what to do about that, but then I start having other health problems. I'm short of breath and get lightheaded easily and my pulse seems to be rather high.

WebMD says I should seek immediate attention, but I'm thinking, how am I going to afford this problem and my tooth.

Someone needs to talk sense into me. I can't seem to wrap my head around all of this. I sure as hell can't afford these problems, so my inclination is to do nothing, but I don't think that's the right thing to do this time.

OK, panic attack or asthma attack or maybe, god forbid, heart.

Have you had panic attacks or asthma attacks like this before?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

quester,

sounds like you might have high blood pressure. can you go in for a check on that? Is that at least covered? I would prioritize that while you continue to see what options you have for your tooth.

I've had panic attacks before, but they usually don't last more than a week. I thought this was related to a cold I had and the cough I developed but it has persisted and that has me a little worried.
