Ugh on the carpal tunnel cost, Dana.
This really feels like 2000 all over again, minus the hanging chads.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I want to be the person who does the latter, but I don't think I've got it in me.
Yeah, me too. I was already feeling bad because I haven't been doing a lot, and I feel like there's more need but I am not more able. So I don't know how to resolve that.

That's not out of pocket, is it, Dana? Yikes.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I don't think I am better, but I often feel smarter, or at least more informed.
I often feel smarter, but I've grown to be amazed how some people demonize intellect. I don't think I'm better for being smart, why do some think it's better not to be smart/informed?
Yours isn't Workman's Comp, Dana? Ouch.

If anyone is feeling like they cannot manage their family this holiday, my guest room is welcome. TX is still a red state, but my family is blue and welcoming.

Because that makes you part of the great Common Man who made this country what it is! The stalwart pioneers who came to this land and carved a nation out of the wilderness!
And don't point out how many of our Founding Fathers had lots of higher education/book learning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have to detach myself from most social media and "news" tv. I just can't stay with it, it's making me too angry and bitter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's not out of pocket, is it, Dana? Yikes.
Yep, out of pocket. I have a $1000 deductible and had only put about $60 towards it. Because copays for doctors and prescriptions don't count towards the deductible.
And no, not workman's comp. My doctor/surgeon is actually pretty insistent that it's a genetic thing, rather than a repetitive stress injury. You're just born with a carpal tunnel of a certain size, and it may end up being too small. Which means he thinks I'll need to do the left hand at some point in the future.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hubs turned off the news last night because I kept yelling at the TV. (We have a DVR. I assume he watched the rest later.)
