The co-workers: "Get your testosterone out of my face!" "Oh, you want testosterone? Here come Eric with *his* beard!" Eric, who was walking across the floor, pauses: "I think I just walked into something weird." (I've got a couple of co-workers with "full" hipster beards, which I think of as long and scraggly. Eric's is short and tidy. I like Eric's.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Currently on the phone with the mail order pharmacy! Which somehow thinks that the order they're about to ship for my husband will cost $23,000!
Are you me? Tim has been spending way too much time on the phone with Humana trying to get his RA meds (1) approved, (2) covered, and (3) sent to us. Humana is actually *trying* to be helpful, I'll give them that. But they can't get their shit together or communicate between various departments, so it's still a ridiculous clusterfuck.
I'm sure Trumpcare will in no way make it even more clusterfuckier or prohibitively expensive. (I actually think the treatment for rheumatoid arthritis under Trumpcare is a pamphlet titled "Only Losers Get Rheumatoid Arthritis! Sad!" And then the pamphlet gives you a paper cut.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The woman we spoke to was very apologetic, and I know it's not her fault. But we're about three seconds away from apoplexy over here.
I'm just like, we can't trust your fucking website? We did the research ahead of time to make sure shit was covered, and the website was just flat-out wrong?

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I love you people. That is all.
In this, as in many other things, smonster speaks for me.
Hi, folks. I'm still here, reading and sending the ~ma out into the wild.

Hi Karl!
I hope the pharmaceutical stuff gets cleared up for all Buffistas dealing with it.

$23,000!?!?!?!
It sure is a blizzard, but I found a pair of mittens! That ice house in Rochester was crazy-- that was actually from the wind storm. I am not sure what the people who did not get power back yet are doing, because it is a) cold and b) windy. And the JCC which was housing families had a bomb threat!

Apparently, according to the Twitters, Rachel Maddow has Trump's tax returns.

Glad you're not iced in, Sophia!

When will 45's healthcare plan go into effect? I guess it needs to go through the House and the Senate first?

That still needs to go through committee. A lot of Republicans hate it for various reasons, this will be far from a cakewalk.
