Here's what scares me ... what if one of these fuckers dies before the election? Total chaos.

I have a colleague who does epigenetic research. It sounds like these guys will be around for a while, but it's a bit of a crapshoot at their ages

I'm not a fan.

Here's what scares the shit out of me.

If either or both of these old fucks dies before the election, there will be horrific chaos.

Imagine what you could end up with.

Seriously that's not far from the truth.

Don't get sick and make us pay for the coverage you paid for.

These people are predators.

A few years back a couple of friends got appendicitis in separate situations.

In both instances the insurers initially denied the claims. They claimed the procedures were not medically necessary.

Appendicitis is fatal.

These fuckers make vampires look like saints.

I was pretty lucky, aside from the financial stuff.

I had a long run of good health and then got slammed with a week in hospital with pneumonia, Covid and chemotherapy.

I walked away with it one piece, but somehow ended up with Type 2 diabetes. That was why I ended up in the helicopter -- uncontrollable diabetic ketoacidosis. Turns out I was allergic to the diabetes medication.

I'm doing well now. I have Covid again but still have my job.

They initially denied coverage.

But it turned out they needed documentation from the hospital to prove a legit medical emergency.

So they covered it, but there were a couple of months that were pretty scary.

Thank you. I'm doing okay. I've been very lucky

But some of the billing is insane.

Back around 2000 an 11 year old niece had a brain aneurysm at school and air transport was required.

The parents were shocked to get an $8000 bill for the helicopter.

This Feb the tab for me was 143,000. But I had bought REACH air transport insurance.

The funny thing was, the pilots had to meet another copter at my destination anyway. So it really wasn't costing them anything.

I've been very lucky medically, but you get these random bills.

Air transport was the worst. But I did get one hell of a ride in February.

That would be nice.

I have cancer, and you really get fucked hard for that.

Over the last 10 years or so, some kinds of convenience foods have gone up a lot. Like some types of

"value meal" is over $10. That's a bad scene if you have several people to feed.

You can beat that by cooking your own, but if you have been working a 12 hour shift that is a harsh scenario.

It just seems like people, and I'm referring to the U.S., getting food should not be such a press.

It's kind of hard right now, because food prices have gone up so much .

But you don't have to poison yourself

Rice would be a choice, but I got type 2 diabetes a couple years ago after having pneumonia.

What's really bad is bread, which is annoying because it is relatively cheap.

I also live alone, and my kids are grown up and gone.

I came to feel that "It's not worth it to cook for just one person" was a pretty lame excuse to eat frozen food and other garbage.

I'm trying to cook more stuff I can freeze or at least store for a few days.

Still pretty lazy though.

I'd rather stick my dick in a beehive.

What if he wears a bikini?

Ive spent some time up close and personal with camels.

They are quite pleasant if you treat them nicely

If you don't, Google camel teeth ....

What a pathetic asshole

I didn't realize Clapton is a fucking moron.

I've long suspected he has dementia from untreated syphilis.

You guys are getting paid for this?

I just needed a place to crash.
