'Hell Bound'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yes.
Uhg, just got word that my awesome, cross-country-motorcycling Uncle Frank just got home from the hospital. Divertriculosus (not itis) but massive hemorrhaging. No infection, it's just likely to happen again, solution is to go to the nearest ER. I expect this compromises his roaming ways, and that makes me sad.
Yep. Of course, I knew that when I voted for him.
Yep. Me too. Not happy, but not particularly surprised.
Oh I adore you Uncle Frank, Sara! Hope he mends up soon and easily.
Me too. Both he and my aunt have done bouts with cancer, Sue is 70, he's 73/74. My dad is 70.
I'm just in denial about my mom's family's mortality. Eldest aunt is ..shit. She might be approaching 80. How the fuck. I can't remember the age difference between her and my mom.
Yep. Of course, I knew that when I voted for him.
Yep.
Oh mac, cut your mom some slack. Brattiness sucks.
I am still at work. Blargh.
I also knew when I voted for Obama. But on some issues he was worse than I expected. Civil liberties he is NOT a what used to be a moderate Republican. His civil liberty position is more on the lines of the Nixon wing of the Republican party. And well to the right of where he campaigned. Nor does he sufficiently respect scientfic evidence. Plan B is only the latest example.
Plan B is only the latest example.
I still haven't regained the power of speech on that one. I am still just white with rage and making ineffectual clucking noises.
So, I was wondering if Plan B would ever actually be on the shelves in drugstores, given that it's $50 a pop, and it seems like they would lock it up somehow. So I asked my friend who works in EC, and she said she had asked manufacturers that very question, and THEY said they had talked to drugstores about having it just out.
So I thought that was interesting, anyway.
Yeah, they have tooth whitening stuff, perfumes, and skin creams out on the shelves that is $50 at places like CVS.
I am ragey about the Plan B thing. In further Don't Read the Comments Section developments, I was surprised at how completely open people can be about their opinion that pregnancy is a punishment for sex.
I would like funding for a short film in which vigilantes break into people's homes, slap them, and revoke their internet privileges for life.
