I'm sorry for your loss, Daniel.

Ugh, I have to get a new PCP too. Mine is retiring, and I moved.

My PCP retired and I finally got around to setting up an appointment with someone else in her former practice so I can have someone on record. So annoying—I couldn't do it online or in the app and had to sit on hold for 20 minutes before setting up an appointment (like my ancestors did in days of old). I don't know if the new doctor is good or not, but (once you can get ahold of them) the front desk people are stellar. They've never misfiled insurance info or screwed up a prescription for me. So as long as the doctor doesn't try to sell me on essential oils or tell me my bronchitis is due to my weight, it'll probably be fine.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

OMG, could the rest of the internet get over this service-dog BS already? I am beginning to think that it's not polarization that leads to strong internet responses, but how relentless the shit can be. About 2 days, and thousands of posts ago, someone that I halfway know virtually told a story about a kid running up to her dogwho wasn't wearing a service vest. And I guess she was brusque about it, maybe. The kid cried(maybe?) Which is too bad, but, like, Pet People are like "Supervise kids around animals." but then some say "It's not my job to raise your kids." and push everyone's buttons. Parents cry "discrimination" and, again, with the buttons. People love to pit single people against parents. I, myself, have gone from thinking every story has two sides to wondering if we'd get this over with faster if the dog had eaten the little bastard.

cereal: Sorry, Dan. One thing about typing so slow, it ruins threads. Also, I like both dogs and kids...it's absolutely possible.

I have to find a new PCP because 1) she's an hour away from me now because of our move, 2) she has gotten more woo-woo over the past few years, and while I have a HIGH tolerance for woo, she's gone where I don't want to follow, and 3) my company switched insurance providers, UGH.
