I got a BCBS marketplace policy that pays for psych stuff like no policy I have ever had in my life. I don't have the particulars in front of me, but it is extremely generous. I DID get the highest policy I could afford, and it's spendy, but I got it since I have several pre-existing diseases and I knew I was going to…

I had my first at age 20, thereby escaping trashy status, lol.

Oh I was just responding to the poster who called it trashy. I certainly don't. I am pro-choice and worked in an abortion clinic for over 6 years, so this isn't a "life by all means" thing for us, but when I found out I was pregnant, we kind of shrugged and said, "What else are we doing that we can't do with another…

I had a newborn, a 7 year old and a 20 year old when I was 40. It was like having three generations of kids. They were not close when they were young but as they have matured, they are closer than most siblings I know.

Wellllll. I gave birth to my last child (I was 40) and my first child was 20. The nurses thought my oldest son was the dad when they came in to talk to us. That was awkward. Other than having an Oops baby, I don't think anyone would call me trashy. Well, not unless we drank a quart of tequila and were pissing in the…

Women should never be imprisoned until they come up with more flattering prison uniforms. One word: Lace.

Almost all of our mutilators lived in SHU (special housing units) or AD-SEG (Administrative Segregation). I’m not really sure which came first, mutilating because they were basically warehoused with a bunch of similarly disturbed inmates, (in every possible way), and no human contact; bright lights and noise bouncing…

We sure had a budget too, but since we (medical) were responsible for their medical care even if they crashed and burned, we had to try and prevent that crash and burn.

I worked at a max. security Texas prison and then a federal complex, in the penitentiary. It IS the bureaucracy (particularly in the BOP) that is crazy making. My friends who worked county jails were aghast and agog at what went on, especially at the state prisons. (I was an RN, contracted from a TX state university…

I will miss you tons! Spread your wings and fly, though. All the best to you and thanks for entertaining and informing me while you and I have been here. :raises glass:

My son just showed this to me and I think it's pretty brilliant.

I took high school in high school since after all, we are all made of it. P

Blast from the past! I forgot about that! You're right, though my brothers loved that! (Of course they also lived on banana flips, so their taste is already in doubt.)

I was in the hospital last week and I can attest we have already manufactured a "milk-ish" product. One of the tests I had including drinking the "drink" "Boost" in the middle of it. (An ultrasound of the mesenteric vascular system.) Holeee shit! The most manufactured, homogeneously emulsified "very vanilla" (Never…

Got to wash those 'shrooms down with something! Alright, alright, alright!

Amen. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but if I was an artist, I would refuse the venue. It's not rocket science, and even if it is, we got that.

Disagree. Long time music fan here, but I can't tell you how it's made, what makes it good/bad, timing goofs, pitch, etc., but I know when it's good or bad, pleasing or not. I can't think of a single artist that has done particularly well on SNL's soundstage. I have attempted through the years not to listen to artists…

I grew up very close to where MM did, (but predating him by about 15 years) and when we were in high-school/college, I know one of our most charming guy friends used to use that as his little "call". A few other guys picked it up too, but it never sounded exactly right unless it came from the charmer. In most every…

I thought the reason that was given out on H'ween by some, is that ever since I was a toddler, I thought this lady didn't have legs and her parents just kept her plopped on a tray of grapes all day to keep her upright. (I promise.) So it figured they would trot her out for H'ween.

Well crap! I edited my post to say "Lincoln" but either I didn't publish it again or something squirrely.
