So I have three things on my ita ! gives a fuck due diligence list (because if I don't jump through the right hoops, I don't deserve help, clearly):
- acupuncture (not covered, weekly, between 9 and 5)
- water therapy (not covered for the first $500, three times a week, between 11 and 2:30)
- electrodes in my neck
Well, will you look at that? Electrodes just jumped to the top of the "I can fit that into my schedule" list. Because 5 days off work for the test implantation is easier to schedule than 6 weeks of driving up to Culver City three times a week for a long-assed wet lunch.
Strega, thank you for looking that up for me. I don't know how effectively I can wield the law of "you can't make me undergo surgery instead of/prior to being given pain meds" but it does make a difference at least knowing the system isn't supposed to work that way. It feels a little bit better that I'm only being fucked over by people, not paper.
Strega, well done.

Timelies all!
I'll be so glad when this election's over. I'm tired of hitting the mute button/turning off the radio whenever political ads show up. Most of the ads are aimed at Virginia voters, anyhow.(Except the pro/con Question 7 ones. A pox on both their lying houses.)
We've got a nasty local election around here that makes me grateful for the preset buttons on the car radio.
Saw this on my college's blog under the Overheard on Campus section:
Future Recluse in Caples: “I can’t wait to get old. I’m just gonna grow tomatoes and not make eye contact with anyone.”
It's a valid life goal.
One of my students said that a friend of hers who goes to a different college (not sure which one) posted a facebook status asking if anyone could lend her some Penn State gear, because her sorority is having a theme day where people have to dress up. The theme is "Pedophiles and Kindergarteners." There is just so much wrong with that.
The theme is "Pedophiles and Kindergarteners."
Yeah, that's a bad idea rich white sorority girls.
