Not only is this fantastic, I read it with John Oliver’s voice in my head. Brilliant!

Thank you! I cautiously like this guy... So much potential!

Omg, I know it... My prescriptions per month are hundreds - and would be so much more without healthcare. These times we live in have been a little eye opening. This is how homelessness happens.

Yeah, I took that more as a kind of wonder about the whole thing (I REALLY hesitate to say innocent)... Just a, wow, he likes to hold my hand. Completely oblivious to that power play. But I also really think, no way he didn’t interpret that as the power play it was. Ugh.

A group of measured and educated adults. And sure, bias will still exist, but it seems like more cases would result in better outcomes. I would…

What feels like a zillion years ago now, I served on my one and only jury, for a case of a stepfather molesting his young daughter and her friend. We were a hung jury because of ONE old lady who would not let go of the fact that her son head been accused of something similar and “of course” he was innocent. Therefore…

Are most of your emails replies? That’s one of the defaults in Outlook - not sure why

Ugh I HATE that and it’s our company’s standard/required email signature. I HATE it... Did I mention I hate it?

I have to say though, I do like that farting idea

Oh and and and, you need a doc that will take both your symptoms and tests into account. The MRI and ultrasounds indicated a much milder issue than my symptoms. After surgery my doc was all “omg your uterus was UGLY! And big!” And I am quoting her directly.
