I'm glad you got hold of someone with more actual knowledge than I. You've certainly made me thankful for my Blue Cross ask-a-nurse line. They've always been very helpful.

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.

The nurses themselvesw are great. The problem is that , unlike normal nurse help lines, no access to doctors or pharmacists. Norma nurse helplines can consult with MDs or pharmas if something is beyond normal competence.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Typo, let us know you're OK!

Thrive to spite them
I just argued with the same relative on FB. I really need to just either stop following him (and miss seeing pictures of his cute kids) or walk on by. But he was using a flawed study - it took like 5 seconds of googling to find out. Of course most of the sources citing it are conservative and I found the rebuttal on a LGBT site so who knows if he'll think it's worth reading.
And someone else commented about "the bipolars, full personalty disorers and partial personality disorders" I couldn't figure out if she was talking about the mental illnesses or the people so I had to comment on that. PLUS she threw out God doesn't make mistakes line which I had to point out can be really damaging to hear. Hearing that and "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" were big factors in driving me away from religion. Well that and the terrible way the churches I was raised in treated women and anyone who wasn't like them.

Take a break. Block for a few months, you won't miss out too much on the kids and you'll save yourself some stress.
TB, hope you are all right.

I'm itchy this morning and I swear I can smell soap or detergent or something. Might be related. Except the smell is none of MY soaps or detergents...

Well, I don't have a job offer yet, but I've been asked if I'm still interested in proceeding if they wanted to make one, so I guess that's good.
I slept almost all day yesterday and then couldn't get to sleep last night because of it, so now I'm exhausted. My sinuses are so achy that chewing too much is painful, but that didn't stop me from shoving hash browns and bacon in my face this morning.

Very exciting shrift--in California?
I am at a site with excruciatingly slow internet. This is going to be a problem.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo shrift with a wonderful offer, Mountain View!
