I wonder....

I wonder if there is a difference in states that have the medicaid expansion versus those that don’t.

Just turned 45. Is my advanced degree going to save me?!?

We still have Eddie Bauer.

Yes and maybe it’s just me but those look like giant, swollen purple penises studding that arrangement. I’d giggle, hell I am giggling.

Yup. Me too. Loved reading the BR catalogues where all the clothes were drawn.

Bernie all the way. Hillary is capitalist scum, and she still seems way too entitled.

I’d vote for either of them but, truthfully, as much as I’d love a female president I’m more excited about Bernie.

Looking forward to the extended version of your story, if it’s in you to continue it. Have you considered writing a book about your experiences- particularly from the perspective of a skeptic and how it changed your worldview? (I’m ready for the movie. LOL) I am also what we might call a STEMoccultist- I have been an…

Thanks for your reply. My biggest fear is going through ALL that, and then ending up homeless. That would never happen because I have two very supportive parents I could lean on, plus siblings. But I still have that fear, I’m now seeing how silly that is I guess. I’m glad you seem to be doing better now, after going…

It’s projecting their own strategic utter belief in what they say.

I like the plants idea, that is smart, and my lights are all in corners to. Maybe it helps, but a few good peace lilies are good for your air quality too.

Hey,

Dude, now you’ve got me way intrigued on what the beginning stage of this thing following you around was like. Also, I think I speak for a lot of us in that you now have a captive audience who would be totally okay with a long-read on the series of events.

Jesus Christ.

Well I’m not professionally trained or anything, but usually I just burn sage and walk through each room of the house reciting a prayer or Bible passage (I’m sure any sort of thing that makes you feel safe would work), then I smudge a cross over each doorway/entryway. Like I said, not trained, but it seems to have…

Jezebel didn’t even post the best picture, the one of Obama totally losing it.

I’m reading through all these posts because your story is fascinating (I’m a skeptic, in theory don’t believe in this stuff, but it’s fascinating nonetheless). My question is OT though....I read earlier you said your biggest fear was financial insecurity. So is mine: I want to know, how did you survive going through…
