Wait, I thought the point of having those kinds of nurses doing that was to make sure you keep taking the maintenance medications. It's cheaper to make sure people take their medications for chronic conditions rather than stopping and then having some sort of relapse or crisis as a result.

I had to do the same with my cat the last year of her life. I hated doing it, but it did extend her life a few months.

Yeah…whenever we get a heat wave in the summer, everything gets fried, no matter what I do. I think that may just be part of the hazard of the porch garden.

I'm ready to start Dragon Age Inquisition as soon as I can download the update. I spent all last evening trying to, and I kept having connectivity issues. Frustrating, because I'm really excited for it.

Yeah, if someone from OSHA saw that shit, your company would be fined out the ass, and the individuals doing it would additionally be fined. You were smart to refuse. That shit isn't worth putting your life at risk for.

I'm sorry, that's a hard thing to go through. I hope you can enjoy the time you have left with him. He's lucky to have you.

Is there legal recourse for you to take? Journalism is a hard enough profession to be in without having people spread lies about you…

Listening to it so far, I don't love it like I loved The Monitor, but some albums take a couple listens before I get hooked on it.

Is that the new argument for why it should continue to exist?
