9. Just don't drink, 'apothecary' and hot tub all at once, okay?

You could end up in that 'big hot tub in the sky.' :)

4. Hi, Forkboy

How are you?

Maybe it's best I take a break from this political board. Just too disgusted about this deal. I might see you in the Lounge. :hi:

[Forkboy]

7. I'm doing ok.

I suggest you turn to music. Lots and lots of music. It's an island of sanity amongst the madness, even the shit I get into. ;)

3. Isn't that one of the points of a discussion board?

:)

Yes, thank you DU!

Where the good, the bad and the ugly is allowed. And encouraged! :)

6. Special thanks to the mods

Especially those who just happen to have the misfortune of being on duty when it hits the fan.

I thought about volunteering for that job, but then I thought: Hey, I've already got PTSD--I don't need the stress! :)

The pay you guys get must be really GREAT. What's that? You DON'T GET PAID? Damn! THAT'S dedication!

:patriot:

10. K&R

11. Indeed. I am so full of steam I feel like a tea kettle.

The people I see in the office are just barely surviving. If a single piece of the safety net is removed, they will literally die.

I saw a woman who needed two prescriptions for her heart. Both were available on the $4 formulary at Walmart. She did not have $4. She didn't have any dollars.

[Stuart G]

14. You just said more than almost anyone else...(IMO).She didn't have $8.00 for

heart medicine. Yep, and she is not alone.
Poverty is invisible. Clothes look ok, people keep themselves neat, clean. etc. You just don't know.
I also hope none of the safety net is touched.

[Stuart G]

12. I have problems with all of this, and I am not the only one.

Hearing others vent, as the original poster pointed out, is extremely important.
I am not alone here. Those who need to know, will know how many feel. It may not be as bad as people say, and
it could turn out worse...But at least we got a place..I am with Babs..thanks for a place to vent

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:..

not as many as babs, but enough for now.

13. Yeah this I will definitely K&R ...nt
