  • The institutionalization runs deep.

    The first time I moved out of the US I lived in a socialized medicine country & I just never went to the doctor. My then girlfriend casually went because she wasnt feeling well (a cold), then would go to the pharmacy for a birth control shot (no prescription needed), and finally when I had a fever and a doc came to the house at 2am (we just had to pay the taxi). I had a lengthy stay in the hospital, and a month of rehab, my employer's nurse would stop by the house and give me an injection on his way home. And our son was born in a hospital with private rooms- all i had to pay for was my meals and overnight stay (there was a bed for me), plus the room had a mini bar...no shit.

    We moved back to the US to raise the kids and then out again i to another socialized medicine country and I STILL HESITATE to go to the doctors.

  • I am 100% sure I know.

    ...but I ain't a snitch

  • ....something just awakened in me

  • Appreciate all the comments, its just a novelty at the moment but if we ever start to use it it would be for reservations only (and incoming only).

  • bundled in our internet is a landline....so we found a vintage rotary phone and hooked it up. We can receive but not call out. It's awesome.

  • Plain sponge cake cut out with a disk cutter, broken cookie garnish, a Strawberry sort of cut, and ice cream?

    No sauce. Boring.

  • I read this as: "Some Republicans haven't yet been paid off, are now bitter and sounding off about it."

  • Like Thanos and Grimmace had a three way with Barney

  • I like dipping my fries in the milkshake.

  • Got Out while the gettin' was good. Get out while you can...It ain't easy but it is manageable. Save yourselves.

  • 2016 should have taught you never to underestimate stupidity.

    Yes, if Biden has 2:1 advantage that would be good, but history has taught mw the Dems reeeeallly don't know how to market themselves properly.

  • Yes.

    Every. Single. Rube that still sends him money.

  • for a small, low low subscription that we will then allow you to use the game until we decide you can't...

  • "got my retirement & free health care for life set up"

  • I wasn't clear, it was at my parents for about 2 years the rest of the time we hauled it around.

  • It depends, really. I had an old comic book collection, kept in storage at my parents while i was overseas then my family hauled it around until we sold most of it downsizing to move overseas again (for the final time). Sold both copies of SW #1, but have #2 through 30 something. At this point they were unboxed and put on display becaus they are neat and should be enjoyed. Also found a bunch of old posters that are now framed properly and in our flat- everyone seems to really enjoy the nostalgia.
