I’m very grateful for the ACA. Before it went into effect, I was turned down by every insurance company I tried due to pre-existing conditions and nearly went bankrupt from medical expenses last year. Now I have an affordable insurance plan with a reasonable deductible ($600) and low copays. Obama wanted to do better,…

Does your bank allow you to create a travel plan ahead of time? I have Wells Fargo, and I’m able to log in to my account online, click on “travel plan” and enter every state I am going to be visiting during a trip. I just came back from a three-week trip that took me through eight states, and I didn’t have any…

It’s still embarrassing, though! I had to take my husband to work at 5:00 one morning, so I decided to treat myself to a McDonald’s egg and cheese biscuit on the way home. The total came to $5 and change with my drink. Gave her my debit card...declined. My bank had a branch right next to that McDonald’s, so I told…

For somebody “whip smart,” she sure says a lot of stupid shit.

Not to mention the 15,000,000 new jobs, increased access to health insurance, and reduced unemployment rate.

I am really pissed at a third-party seller because I bought a shower curtain from them that turned out to be total crap. It was a curtain with the Eiffel Tower printed on it. It looked amazing on the website. It was $40, but I had a $25 gift card, so I thought I’d be frivolous for once. The problem is that I ordered…

I went to Vegas for the first time in February. I stayed at the Westgate, but I HATED it (if I pay for a hotel room, I don’t want to be accosted by 10 people in the lobby asking me to buy a timeshare; also, the air conditioning sucked), so we went to the Gold Coast for dinner and gambling. I LOVED it. I want to stay…

Thirty is so much better than twenty. There’s nothing to worry about.

You’re showing up in the black for me.

Me either! I find her to be completely unremarkable.

Can you please tell me how to do that? I’m going to visit my parents in two weeks, and the two of them are rabid conservatives. Not harmless fiscal conservatives, but “Obama’s coming for my guns, we gotta build a wall, people on food stamps are sucking us dry” conservatives. I have vowed to avoid all political…

I far prefer my Kindle. I love books, but I hate clutter. If you move somewhere, you have to pack them and either pay someone to move them or lug them around yourself. It’s MUCH cheaper to buy digital books (even the big publishers occasionally put great books on sale for $2 or $3). And I like the way digital readers…

I’m so sorry! Kinja was being stupid, and I could see that I had notifications, but I couldn’t read them. If you haven’t had it already, it’s just an ultrasound. Totally noninvasive. They run the transducer over your chest area to get pictures of the heart. It may feel uncomfortable at some points (they really have to…

This woman looks exactly like the kind of mediocre white person who would complain about affirmative action.

Chris Pratt is so cute. I wish he wasn’t a Republican.

Considering my mother is against the ACA/universal healthcare despite me having a multitude of lifelong problems and a long history of being denied for insurance because of them, I imagine they would still be all for the NRA.

So, I’ve never heard of this guy. And I’m not just saying that to sound cool; I have no idea who he is (well, I know now. I didn’t know until 5:41 EST).

Well, there was another shooting today (three dead, one in surgery), but the police think it may have happened earlier, so I don’t know if it “counts” as happening during the sit-in.

I’m sorry to hear that you might have a heart issue. I was diagnosed with CAD when I was 31, and I have one stent (so far). If you have any questions about your upcoming tests, please feel free to reply to my comment. Before I had my first cardiac catheterization, the hospital did a terrible job explaining things.…

I have NOT seen it.
