It's entirely possible to have been true. Admittedly that's a really big number, but it's not nearly the highest premium I've ever seen - and I left that job back in 2010.

Sorry, no idea. I ended up plugging in last year's number to get the 2015 estimates I posted below, on the theory that I would eventually get employed, and when I do it would hopefully be at approximately the same amount I used to make. Either way, it was going to be well above the Medicaid limit for South Carolina

I've always felt that Blake's 7 set the bar of evil unassailably high by having the Federation actually implant the memory of being molested into children's minds, just to discredit a resistance leader. In episode 1, season 1.

Or a Federation.

Ahhh, that makes more sense. The "someone-is-saying-something-positive-about-the-ACA" signal must have gone up. (In my mind it looks vaguely like a photo of Obama grinning and giving a thumbs up.)

A silver fox, no less. Mrow.

Yes, this. My natural hair color actively clashes with my skin, so I've been dying it since I was 12 or 13, and don't intend to ever stop unless/until I'm really old and have gone pure white. The amount of time, money, and damaged hair something like this would have saved me? Crazy.

OK, I just checked.

...where exactly do you live? Unless you're in the wilderness somewhere, I'm going to call foul on $1374 being the only coverage you were offered. I'm in South Carolina (not deep in the sticks, but not exactly in a big city or anything) and I had at least 20 plans to choose from. The most expensive choice might have

They're only allowed to charge you up to 102% of the premium (the full cost your old company is paying for one of their current employees' coverage, plus a 2% "administrative fee"), so they can't actually overcharge COBRA participants as punishment. Health insurance is just that ridiculously expensive.

I lost my job at the end of August and am still looking for a new one.

This is hugely helpful. It's the first time that "x removed" has ever made sense to me.

Nah, that was Fringe. Never fully recovered from the paranoia season 1 gave me.

I developed a bit of a crush on Joshua Chamberlain when I read The Killer Angels for 9th grade American History. (I maybe still have it, a little.)

Agreed. I've always been bitter about his ending. Sydney! She's not worth it!

When I saw the headline, I thought, "so it's like a remake of Being John Malkovich?" I was genuinely disappointed when I realized that she's not playing herself.

I'm hoping that's where they're going - because I've started to suspect that Mac may be a double agent, there to sow dissension in the ranks. Which would totally suck, because I liked him as much as everyone else.

Wow! How can you top "Mildly Microwaved" as a title epithet? Answer: you do not. It cannot be topped.
