Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
what happens when we cut healthcare costs and everyone loses their job? What job is left?
From what I've seen in my years working on healthcare IT projects is the cost inefficiencies have very little to do with too many people doing a job that would be done better with fewer people. If that makes sense? A LOT of high healthcare costs stem from bad or non-existent processes.
Ah, summer. The time when young ladies wear skirts and then yelp when they get up because they're glued to the pseudo-leather of their chair.
Yikes, that brings back unpleasant sense memories of the vinyl seats of my mom's Ford whatever-it-was in the 1970s.
I dread wearing shorts in my Jeep, both the sitting down on hot vinyl and the getting up.
ION, I have been doing my Cataract Surgery Loves Carrots spiel to a co-worker. He's getting bad halos around lights and wanted to know what other symptoms I had and how good my vision is how. We stared out the window at the local trees, and I told him I could see the individual trees and the leaves (for the first time in about thirty years). He can't and decided to move his eye appointment up.
Raising a glass in honor of Steph's birthday, and another for bonny supporting the supporters at the Capitol.
Happy birthday, Steph!
Happy Birthday, Steph!
Thanks, folks!

I get bifocals for the first time, as soon as I go pick out frames. I should make sure the frames match my tin ear horn and cane that I shake at kids to make them get off the lawn.
That said, the ophthalmologist pointed out that my left eye has gotten MARKEDLY worse in the last 2 1/2 years -- for real, when she put up the letter chart at the same exact size font used for my right eye, I couldn't make out ONE SINGLE LETTER. Not even a vague guess based on "well, there's a vertical bar, so...T?" And I think maybe my frequent non-migraine headaches might be eyestrain since my eyes are (or, at least, left eye is) so bad. D'oh. So I'm picking out new frames next week. Though I am not thrilled about the bifocalness of them. Or the cost of bifocals. But I am thankful we have eye insurance that covers some of it. Sheesh.
Am I crazy, or is there no way to see the discussion here? [link]

I kind of feel like if there were efficient processes, I wouldn't actually have a job or be needed!
