Wait — TEN biscuits?! It’s a trap! Check it out:

Marginally on-topic: those who haven’t, please do check out Native Appropriations. I love that blog, though I hate that it is so, so necessary.

It’s never happened. One day...

Your username is perfect for this story!

Come to Canada! We’re making our way back to sanity after nearly a decade of Con-bot fuckery! Oh, our dollar is in le crappoir (this is a bilingual nation) though...

Ha! We just went through the pie of nursing textbooks here and totaled up about three months’ rent. We were cursing Elsevier and Wiley just yesterday. The surgical textbook alone was well over $200!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m not usually one who reaches out across the ether (or in general), but I’m so glad I did on Saturday. I was very close to a breaking point, and I received so many wonderfully helpful responses. Not only did I get a lot of practical advice, but I got support and validation that…

Thank you so much for your reply. I’m sorry I didn’t see it sooner — I was ‘forced’ to take a break from posting/replying because I was strung out from lack of sleep and was getting worked into a state. My wife fed me a couple of sedatives to try to get me to sleep; it didn’t work too well, but I took a break from…

Hey, sorry I didn’t respond earlier — I got a bit overwhelmed and was ‘force-fed’ a couple sedatives by my wonderful, concerned wife after nearly three days of no sleep. Didn’t work too well, but I decided to let myself not think about this for a day (ha! Well, I tried, anyway), since it’s a holiday weekend and I…

Thank you so much for your reply (I would have replied sooner, but I just saw it. Kinja is just beyond me sometimes, especially when I’m super-stressed).

Whether or not Paul was as much of a dick as the Bible makes him out to be is pretty much a side issue now, 2,000 years after his death. A lot of what Paul is supposed to have written has been used as justification by a literally uncountable number of narrow-minded assholes down the centuries to make the lot of women…

That’s the “misogyny” bit. Unless that got edited in after your post.

Wow, thank you — this is incredibly helpful, direct advice.

Yeah, I’ve been dancing around the Power-of-Attorney/Guardianship thing for a few months now. Was really hoping to somehow get by without it, at least until my shit is sorted out up here, but at this point it’s looking pretty necessary. I’m still trying to figure out what problems may be created by my inability to be…

The issue with getting her transferred is that she hasn’t even gone before a judge yet. That should be happening on Tuesday or Wednesday (because of course she got locked up right before a holiday weekend). That is only an initial hearing, but there should be a request for a proper mental health evaluaton at that…

Hey, thank you for your reply. I’ve filled in the blanks a bit below (okay, way more than a bit — sorry this got really long. I’m a bit out of sorts at the moment, it seems)...

Thank you for pulling this out of the greys. Also, thank you very much for the positive vibes; every little bit helps right now.

K, so I don’t want bring anyone down on this wonderful day, but Jezzies, I need help! I hope this doesn’t get stuck in the gray abyss!

Well, you got half the description of Chevy Chase right. He was (and is) certainly a blueblood. But he was never in the same galaxy as Kaufman, either stylistically or talent-wise. Andy Kaufman had an incredibly agile comedic mind, while, as Johnny said: “Chevy Chase couldn’t ad-lib a fart after a baked bean…
