Meanwhile, at JazzFest, even though it was the last day, I heard Zydeco, swamp rock, Kermit Ruffin’s tribute to Louis Armstrong and some gutbucket blues. I ate Shrimp and Grits, Shrimp Creole, Smoked Turkey and Alligator Sausage Gumbo, Begniets and Mango Freeze, washed down with iced and hot Cafe au Lait. I made a…

Not to mention, they would never ever give chemotherapy in the emergency room. The nurses down there do not have the time nor the training to safely administer it. Plus some infusions can go for 24 hours, way too long to not be inpatient.

Soapbox... As someone with a horrible family history of colon cancer, get your preventative colonoscopies (if you can afford it, obviously)! Too many people are putting them off because they’re “icky.” So is death and leaving your loved ones behind! My dad, his siblings, and Chris (in the story) all had colon cancer…

There’s no need to be patronizing. It’s concerning that she got any of the vote but I’m wholly unsurprised. White people are quite reliably racist.

Yeah how is an emergency room supposed to keep me supplied with regular monthly prescriptions? I need levothyroxine every month, am I supposed to just keep going to an ER?

I’d say not voting in the open racist and fascist is a pretty good victory for democracy.

Ohhhh my god shutttuuppppp nobody cares about how big your military dick is America, not everything is about youuuuu.

Vive le France! We drove the Nazis out 72 years ago. No way in hell are they coming back.

Sorry to conflate you & Unwholesome; you make good points.  

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney has offered to visit John Faso’s district to explain Trumpcare and has proposed that the entire Democratic Party do the same.

Dude, I’ve spent time hauling around 150lbs of gear frequently in the company of firefighters doing the same. I’m a pretty average sized woman and have had no trouble keeping up with them because I work on it. This is over slippery rocks, with other environmental factors to contend with. It takes work but you assholes…

SNL get out of my mind! I was actually starting to wonder about Kellyanne and her absence lately. I’ve move on. I use to have a crush on Kate McKinnon’s depiction of Kellyanne. Now I have a crush on her Jeff Sessions.

I don’t know if he was referring to the AHCA, but Mark Green, Trump’s the former nominee for the position of army secretary, has said that universal care would harm people, because then they wouldn’t be forced to seek out help from the church, and through that, be led to Christ.

Oh man, from your mouth to whoever can fix this mess. I read that President Obama’s next “thing” was to work with Eric Holder on firming up non-partisan redistricting throughout the country. We can only hope.

This is the choice the US healthcare system makes people consider: do I try to get better knowing the odds are bad and leave my family in debt, or do I just die, potentially in agony and suffering?

We could try bitching repeatedly about how anything less than a 100% progressive is worse than a republican.

I watched the original interview and the article leaves out that all of this was said in a very light-hearted and facetious manner. He wasn’t seriously complaining about not being recognized. He was joking about it. I have fairly neutral opinions regarding Bacon but the article sort of misrepresents the interview.

You do realize that you are making this comment on an article largely about women working to get and remain fit enough to pass the test and do the job, right?

OMG they’re called “fiery” in australia? that’s adorable.

I got a fabric shower curtain because I was sick of stiff, bulky, difficult to change, plastic shower curtains. It works fine (doesn’t let the water through), it is lightweight, and I can throw it in the washer once a week.
