Ah, so you were referring to the cost savings of having America provide defense, and not that the defense provided by America has some quality that allows progressives to flourish.

That feeling when you watch a rom-com set in Toronto that makes you miss Toronto AND feel lonely for companionship. YAY!
How could you not read that as a joke?
You could consider following it up with a viewing of Chloe, starring Amanda Seyfried. It's also set in Toronto, but it's got a good chance of curing that hankering for companionship, considering its main theme appears to be "women be crazy, y'all".
Annoyed that my wife was frantically trying to get ready for her friends on-time for them to pick her up, stressing herself out, is ready on-time despite problems ...
And then a minute after they're supposed to get here, they say they'll be here in 40 minutes. Which means they just left where they were. Hey, how about not being fucking rude? You had to have known for at least the past half hour you weren't going to make it in time. It's not like "if we leave at 2:59, we'll get there by 3:00" and then being surprised when you got in the car and realized you'd still need to fucking drive 40 minutes.
So now she's worn out from stress and other things, and really doesn't even want to go anymore, but feels obligated because one of them might be helping her get a new job and doesn't want to seem ungrateful.
Odds are these two flakes will be here even later than they say now.

I AM STILL DIGGING MUD OUT OF MY EARS.

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? I CAN'T HEAR YOU WITH ALL THIS MUD IN MY EARS.

I'm glad that I scrolled up there for some context...
I'm at the ER waiting to be triaged. I'm sure that I've complained here before about my water allergy issues. I took a shower yesterday and I haven't been able to make the hives stop. It's been over 24 hours! I'm clawing at myself and going bananas! My skin is going hard and bumpy in spots. I've taken enough Benadryl to knock out a horse.
I saw a walk in doctor yesterday which was a waste.
I called my pharmacist and she told me to come to the ER and get help right away. She also thinks that the high humidity is causing the hives to come over and over.
Bleh.

Look, I'm absolutely sympathetic and I'm really sorry you have to deal with it, and I most certainly think you can, and deserve to, and should, rant about it. But this just made me LOL, sorry.
In other news, apparently GasBandit has some political views, and I think Emrys might have pets
But, seriously, sorry to hear it
I'm too itchy, sore and burning to laugh right now. The humidity is triggering it. How am I meant to avoid that!?!
And bitchy. Let's add bitchy to the list. My hives woke me up this morning.
Get the most powerful dehumidifier you can and stay in the smallest room in the house with it running 24/7?
Ooh, better yet: buy a truckload of those desiccant packets, open them up and turn one of your rooms into a moisture-sucking beach.
Lord, no! That's a sure way to turn that room into an oven. Those things put out a LOT of heat.
I am almost always freezing which is a small blessing because I'd be in rotten shape if I sweat all the time.
That would help with the humidity for sure, but I would sweat something crazy!
Of all the allergies and ways to get hives, this really is one of the worst. I have chronic autoimmune hives as well, but those at least are manageable. My mother has the autoimmune cold triggered ones, so maybe it's genetic? If so, I've really won the genetic jackpot, am I right??

Oh, my sweet summer child... come on down to my neck of the woods... or Ravenpoe's for that matter. Nothing like 90% to START your day with...
40%?! I didn't think humidity could go that low.
On the odd winter morning when the humidity dips below 40% here, oil refineries start to explode.
I've never lived anywhere with low humidity. It would nice not to instantly flop sweat when I step outside.

It is nice, as I said, but those of us accustomed to more humid climes need to remember to take a big glass of water to bed each night. Whenever I go home to visit, I frequently wake up in the middle of the night with all my mucous membranes cracking and ready to peel right off. And that's just Colorado.
Of course, in ABQ, it's less of an issue since the air inside the house is kept nice and pleasantly humidified by the evaporative cooler.
She was born in Colorado, and only visits humid places, so she doesn't really understand.
On the flip side of that, whenever I visit my parents I forget to drink anything a lot of the time because my body is so enthralled by how wet the air is.

I remember how it was when I first moved to Texas from Colorado. Not only did I stop drinking water, but I felt like I only needed to take one breath a day, because the air was so goddamned THICK. Of course, it's been so long now that I'm a bona fide lowlander and get out of breath like every other fucking tourist when I'm back on a rock a mile in the air.
Mmm yes, my dad constantly gets altitude sickness when we go skiing, and I'm like "NBD, I had some juice before we left the condo, that should last me all day."
