Ridiculous. The Internet is made of cats.

It's the same feeling parents of children with cancer feel when you deny their child treatment. The combination of fear and rage. You've had years of getting comfortable with handing out the fear, now you're starting to learn what it means to have the rage come looking for you.

They just want to eat and reproduce.

They wouldn't deny your cancer treatment

I feel like we need another picture from the driver's perspective

Complaining the whole time is at least as good for the mental health as the walk itself. When you run out of bitching about the walk you can go on to bitching about the rest of your fucking life.

It's sunny where I live but I need to stay home for other reasons. I finally got an under-desk treadmill and put it facing a window, with the option of watching my laptop screen. The desktop serves the purpose of being grabbable if I lose balance. Not only don't I have to face the elements, I don't give a shit what I look like. Sweaty af, no bra, old holey clothing, flabby old sagging skin, no worries. No uneven pavement either. I've never found exercise to do a damn thing for my mental health, but it's necessary for physical health. And at least I'm not worried about twisting an ankle a mile from home.

Supposedly the dude took a bus from Atlanta.

DC is just as travel-friendly, probably cheaper

Also less chance of hitting an innocent rat

Ask for the real Sudafed. The little red ones say 4-6 hours, but one lasts me all day and minimizes side effects. They work quickly enough that you don't need to get ahead of your symptoms, you can wait until you feel you need more.

Generic Guaifenesin syrup, ask the pharmacist. It's OTC but sometimes it's behind the counter

Good for MA. Hoping it doesn't become moot because of a national ban on trans care. Bullies always start with the most vulnerable.

You're assuming doctors will make their decisions based on the legitimate medical needs of their patients.

But hospital policies are often chosen for other reasons, such as ensuring all bills get paid in full, and no lawsuits are filed by anyone who has enough lawyers to win.

Those policies can put a doctor's employment and/or license in jeopardy.

Doctors are already choosing to let women die rather than get in trouble for doing medically necessary abortions.

Will they cut anesthesia short and hope they can finish sewing in time? Unlikely, but not nonzero.

If it was just peeing, maybe he was trying to get home to the loo.

But add in the drunk driving, lost my sympathy.

Wait, he'd done a hit-and-run crash!?

Jail time!

He can have a nice clean pair of orange pants.

 

And occasionally bites

 

It's not a crazier idea than most of Kennedy's. Someone should do a study. Or make one up, nobody checks anymore.

 

Using centripetal force puts it in trebuchet territory does it not?

 

Seems to me, calling the GOP the Right Wing contributes to their delusions of grandeur and self-righteousness. The fact it's only supposed to be "sitting on the right-hand side of the room" is lost in deliberate ignorance. Looking for a more accurate label. If you don't like these two choices you're welcome to ring in with your suggestions. Since other countries have their own versions of a Right Wing, ranging from something equivalent to the US Democratic Party to full-on fascism, y'all are welcome to weigh in on those as well.
