Did you miss the part about me asking for narcotics. With pancreatitis the pain can go from zero to yes in an instant.

I have chronic pancreatitis and a prescription for a narcotic painkiller that's stronger than heroin: hydrocodone. The last time I went to the ER I asked for something to relieve andominal pain - which wasn't what I was there for btw. I was given 0.50mg of hydromorphone when tylenol would have...

Um, "hospitalized against my will" generally means that you're too out of it to legally make decicisions for your self.

Sweetie, Between mid-Dec and Mid-Feb I was hospitalized for 37 days. I was being given large amounts of Shcedule II narcotics and prescription IV antibiotics. I had no business having any access to gunpowder and didn't want access to any firearms. That you wanted a gun is a "you problem" that...

Fuck you and fuck your racist implication six ways to Sunday. My daughters are both half-black and have samurai ancestors.

I know a fair number of devout muslims. They generally don't care if I or other non-muslims consume something "haram" as long as it's not offered to them with the expectation that they also partake. The position from this: is that of an unreasonable extremist.

I chuckled.

Cute T&A attracts the male gaze. It be all about the clicks, YO!

Difficulty: Congressman in a Congressional Office Building literally across the street from the Capitol Building while Congress is in session. Unless pulling that alarm is treason, a felony, or breach of the peace he's Constitutionally protected from arrest and prosecution. Now, the House of...

True, they are hardwired to desire a provider. However, a woman concerned about the size of a guy's paycheque relative to hers is engaging in classic gold-digger behavior. Doubly so if she's got a job which pays more than what most men earn.

The reason behind that 2nd NY Post article: single guys with six-figure incomes typically have little patience for or interest in gold-diggers.

The other ones which currently do get an entire month (like February for Black History) aren't in your face "Hallmark Holiday's writ large" about it. Big companies don't really do much of anything special in February for Black History month, fr'ex. In June, however, not doing something at...

She's anathema to what they're about.

Both are accurate even though he didn't change. Reality went "Hold my beer and watch this!"

If you consider what the typical working-class guy/gal wants to be able to say about their workday - regardless of what their actual job is - you'd get something like this: "I showed up. I did some work. I got paid. There were no problems." Is that doable under Communism? No, because someone...

That book was intended to provide a warning, and not be a goddamn instruction manual.

That sounds like something someone with Stockholm syndrome would say.

The wet bulb temperature* is what matters for that. Tonight's low for Pheonix: 90°F, 29%RH. That's ~68°F wet. If it's 70°F dry/68°F wet it's either raining or there's fog, mist, dew and clouds everywhere. * The temperature the air would be if evaporating moisture cooled it to saturation.

111 days/year where the high is above 100°F is not "2 months of warm". That's a blazing hellscape of "NOPE! I'm not living here." It never gets that hot in the Serengeti - which has a climate comparable to what we evolved to thrive in and find comfortable: 59°F-83°F year round.
