Trex is gunna be missed late nite…I jest hope he wasn’t dumped because of fear of wingnut backlash to his super-sharp wit and occasional cutting edge remarks.

Welcome to the mix, Attaturk…I hope I ken adjust ta all this “new wave” shit comin’ down the track here.

KEEP THE FAITH AND TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER!!

When they follow W’s advice and “just go to an emergency room” we treat the LIFE THREATENING illness and send them on their way, with the same painful, embarrassing, and unpleasant conditions they can’t afford to have addressed.

Just like the GOP likes it.

As Boston at #10 says about the second paragraph, it’s “you’re” not “your.”

I caught it a few minutes ago on review, but thanks to both of you for noticing early.

your both observant early this morning!!!

On Topic:
How terrible for this man (an evidently fo rhis abused wife) that because we don’t have uiversal health care in this country, his obvious mental health problems have gone untreated.

So, in addition to his own mental health ssues, his wife now has suffered physical injury. I wonder if she, too, was turned away or did not even seek medical care because it was too expensive?

Is this how a civilized nation allows it’s citizens to suffer?

this is meant to be somewhat witty but not overblown snark. i really mean it in a way everybody here has thought at one time or another.

civilized?

dont’ forget I am north of the border where you can get a psychiatrist under your free (okay higher taxes yada yada) provincial health insurance plan for personal counselling.

the ‘gunslinger’ ethos of ‘every man for himself’ ‘every girl a playmate in waiting’ just doesn’t work too well. And of course it’s a blatantly false mythology.

Ah, an lhp question I can answer…(I’m pretty good at the rhetorical ones).

geez, I’ve been up so long my coffee pot shut down, and it’s on a 2 hour timer.

Ain’t insomnia grand?

edit: it may be a two-pot morning…
