$500 is a lot of money if you’re making $7 or $10 an hour. That’s 50 or more hours of work

I really think you need to throw some Warren Ellis in there. This is Transmetropolitan come to life.

Well, you know it would kind of nice if a guy you’re going to put in charge of a budget, which as you know is full of numbers, can fricking COUNT.

There’s even a special issue of a crafts magazine coming out in January about this very thing! I saw it advertising in a colouring book by the same publisher. Thought it as a little weird/blasphemous at first but looking at it as modern illumination and if it’s done in spaces for notes I think it’s kind of…

I’m in Canada but the Colleges of Pharmacists in most provinces has authorized pharmacists to write prescriptions for medications- either because a patient has run out and it’s dangerous to do so, their doctor is away or as always happens to me, the refills on diabetic supplies like needle tips or test strips has run…

If they put that on pay per view, man, that would be a show.

And those kids are very young. It’s tough to explain erratic behaviour to an infant and a toddler in a way that doesn’t scare them. Better to wait until their dad is stabilized, IMHO.

Oh my God. It’s probably only that you were on lorazepam that you didn’t have a seizure. Effexor is super hard to come off and has to be tapered of by 10% max at a time.

There are tailors who travel. There’s a guy from Hong Kong that comes to town every six months or so and measures and takes orders from handmade shirts and bespoke suits. I think he does one suit for $600 or two for $1000 (Canadian). There’s a ton of lawyers who get most of their wardrobe from him.

I’m pretty sure there’s a named phobia about pregnancy (or there should be). The actual pregnancy part is definitely a fear/horror thing for me. Something is INSIDE ME and moving. Thinking about it makes me fairly nauseous.

It’s not a decision made lightly- especially since you have to fly to Colorado and come up with $15k+ in cash (depending on how much of the procedure is completed in Dr. Hern’s clinic. That’s not a spontaneous, meh, I don’t feel like having this kid anymore thing.

Canadian. I try to be optimistic. This election is kind of beating it out of me.

If everybody waited until they were emotionally and financially prepared to have kids the human race would pretty much die off.

The top of George Takei’s head is going to blow off. He lived this.

The British had a wonderful show about this starring Nigel Hawthorne as the civil servant as institution- “Yes Minister” and “Yes Prime Minister.” Truly brilliant.

Seriously caused a problem for my inlaws. My mother-in-law was recently diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. Her iPad is a brick because she forgot her passwords around the same time they switched internet providers (and lost access to her Apple ID). Nothing was backed up (or if it was, it was behind the Apple ID.…

Pete Souza, the White House photographer, needs to do a coffee table book of President Obama and kids. He has reams of fantastic pictures of POTUS having fun with little people.

She was quite clear in the debate that she thought his refusal to say he would accept the results was appalling. I think it goes without saying she will follow the convention if there is no sign of election irregularity.  

I thought he’d been officially found and declared not dead. I guess the PIs made enough of a fuss that it registered in my head that it was no longer a mystery.

My friend C (originally from Atlanta and had to grow dreads because nobody in YVR did black hair) has always said there are nine black people in Vancouver and they take shifts.
