Between that and the Scott Walker purges a few years ago my flist is largely clear.

I've had to hide some people who I didn't realize were mean angry jerks, along with my aunt who still believes Obama is coming for her guns (SPOILER: she doesn't own any guns).

The people who disappoint me the most are the Sanders supporters who are posting vile shit about Clinton. Support your candidate, and I am fine with that, okay, but when you bust out the nasty shit about his opponent? I banhammer you AND give you the stinkeye next time we happen to be socializing and you act like I'm your bestie. Nuh and uh.

That's gonna be a lot of cheese.

We're gonna build a cheese fort!

My brother is a trump fan. I have him hidden on FB for a reason. My dad knows better than to discuss politics with me, but he's unlikely to be a trump fan--I'm guessing he was probably more pro Kasich or Bush

I think the moderate republicans have become moderate democrats (a la Hillary).

Mmm, cheese.

My dad is still a registered Republican because he enjoys being able to say "as a lifelong Republican" when he writes angry letters to the party or elected officials, but I don't think he's voted for a Republican for Federal office since Reagan. He often actually knows the local candidates personally, so I don't hear what political parties they are in, just how much of a pain they are to work with (or not).

Good luck with the performance thingy, shrift. Mine is Friday. Well, when I find out raise or not, anyway; I got the actual written review yesterday and it was pretty glowing, but the company is still digging itself out of a financial hole. OTOH, if I don't get a raise I think I'll be eligible for overtime?

Sorry about Muppet, Theo, and I hope the tooth fix is easy and WORKS.

I got in argument on a former classmates FB page who said he'd write in Bernie or not vote rather than vote for Hillary because she is no different than Trump. And he's not going to compromise his values by voting for someone controlled by...whoever he said she controlled by. He'd rather have Trump for president by default so he's conscious will be clear and also he's an independent and doesn't want to vote Dem. Bernie switched to Democrat because he wouldn't have a chance but Bernie bros...no logic.

Oh, so the whole fit I had last week, where my insurance was insisting getting documentation from my doctor explaining why I took more pills than the usual dose? After all of that, they sent me precisely the usual dose, so I'm missing basically a third of my pills.

Dana, our insurance refuses to cover the Ritalin dose Tim's doctor prescribed, even with a letter from the doctor. So insurance covers about 3/4 (with a stupid high copay for a generic, Humana you suck), and then Tim pays out of pocket for the other 1/4.

They actually sent me a letter saying that the "exception" had been approved for a year.

I was venting about this sort of thing to a pharmacist once, wondering why insurance companies do this. He said, "Well, to be honest, they're hoping you die before you need to refill the prescription." I laughed bitterly and agreed with him, but oddly enough I never saw him at that pharmacy again. I hope he retired or soon after went to his boss and quit operatically.
