Top 40 WOOOO.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Compassionately intolerant
Wow, that's absolutely ridiculous!
Two cases of malpractice that nearly killed me in two years.
Keep the medical system the same? Not my vote.

The thread change-over was fun to catch up on.

2k is OBSCENE. As was the malpractice, the almost dying, and having to go through a second endoscopy due to incompetence by first doc :(
BAH indeed!

Me and my parents at a foodie restaurant is kinda awkwardly hilarious. But I got us through it. Probably not something they'd seek out on their own, but I think I fed them well, they liked most of the food (I can cop to the same, tried the beets, I was right to be suspicious. But they loved them.) and it was a new experience for them.
Our waitress was definitely more suited to the epicurean set and definitely had a performance (uh, she'd lapse into French and I was all, oh, you mean cheese!) wasted on us rubes - we had more in common with the busboys. No, seriously, it was funny. She was so annoyed they hadn't brought us fresh plates and silverware between plates,and as she went off to remedy it, mom stage whispered to me, "the Quaker in me is frowning on all this unnecessary plate changes." I just started laughing, as I don't care either. Teased mom we could assuage our sensibilities by thinking of the extra dishwashers the practice employs.
I mean, everyone has their own snobbish. No way in hell this trio of New Mexicans was going to order the enchiladas at a spendy MD restaurant, we know it'd not compare to our comfort food favorite hole in the walls at quarter the cost in the hometown. (Which all three of us have a different favorite.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Rooomy. I like that in a new thread, and I appreciate the conversation pit and the fire pit outside and the pit of despair behind the stockroom closet.
It's pitty.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I am at Ryan's school concert. They opened with the string ensemble playing the theme to Game of Thrones. Valar Morghulis.

Argh all the talk of deposits for healthcare is putting more ticks in the 'do not move to the US' column. Scary!
Of course, Brexit is piling up ticks in the 'get out of here' column, so.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I don't know, I've been reading complaints from Canadians about the quality of their healthcare system lately. Yeah the price is right, but at least some people are finding they got what they paid for.
