I personally think that anyone who pays to go to a trained medical professional, when they can get free advice on a foodboard, is crazy.

As a Canadian, pras doesn't have to pay to go to a trained medical professional (except an investment in time). See how honoured you should be!

I thought the way they fund universal health care in Canada is by taxing the reading of food boards.

We share a floor here in the office with a hedge fund peopled by guys who are, even for this industry, animals. They have a tendency to lunch in the conference room and then walk away leaving all their leftovers and garbage on the table rather than taking the approximately four steps needed to reach the kitchen and throwing the stuff out. The CEO recently sent out a mass email forbidding this practice. I just went to get myself a cup of tea and the animals' sushi leftovers are indeed not in the conference room but are instead scattered on top of two file cabinets in the hall. FFS.

People who would rather be mad at you and not tell you why they're mad, leaving a damaged relationship, than sit down and talk to work things out and maybe repair things.

I had an ex live-in girlfriend who did that. It was a kind of game - Guess Why I'm Mad At You.

It had multiple stages. The first was the 3 or 4 day frost. It was clear something was the matter but she would deflect all my attempts to find out what it was. "Nothing's the matter!" She milked it for as long as she could.

The second stage was where she finally responded, saying "You know why." Of course, I didn't. She was a complicated woman. At any given time 3 or 4 things could be pissing her off. It could have been any one of them. I'd sort them by probability and run them by her. It was trickier than you'd think. She didn't believe in a statute of limitations. It could have been something I did 18 months before that had never been an issue. That added spice to the whole exercise. It was like taking a multiple choice test where the reward for getting the question right was getting hit with a bucket of shit.

"Is it X?"

"No! What a dumb thing to say!"

"Is it Y?"

"No, but that's awful too. We'll deal with that later." (Oh goody. More grief.)

"Is it Z?"

"Well you finally figured it out. About time."

Then, the actual argument would start.


I was younger then so I played along for 2 or 3 years. Then one day I realized that I didn't care why she was angry. It was all an exercise in manipulation. We split up soon afterward.

My prescription drug insurance company has F-d me over in ways too complicated & tedious to explan here. The result is that I have run out of thyroid medication & have no prospect of getting any until a supply that was mailed to me on Tuesday arrives here.

I hope I don't wind up in a coma or something. That would REALLY be annoying.

[Sneakeater]

If you wind up in a coma, please be sure to post about it IMMEDIATELY.

If the stuff doesn't arrive tomorrow, I will. I guess I should have done it today but was just feeling too lazy, probably from lack of thyroxine.

Not to worry, it's at teh top of my list of Things To Do If I Become Comatose.

[Sneakeater]

I got really frightened when I saw you were posting in this thread.

[ghostrider]

I avoided the coma, & my meds arrived in the mail this morn, so I guess all's well again. For now.
