Rachel is tired

You ever have a chat with your pet where you end up glad they probably didn't understand much beyond their name?

My cat loves me and listened to my dissertation on why I hate The Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz, and The Wiz.

I don't think it's a hot take. The Phillies went the furthest in the post-season the year he was on the IL for a stint in August. Wheeler hasn't been bad, but he hasn't been Wheeler. Sit him for a bit, let him work out his dead arm, and get things right.

It is seriously life changing for me, and I want everyone who has migraines to get to try it. I know it won't work for everyone, but it will work for some. 3-4 migraines a week to maybe one a month? And the ones I do get can be stopped with Advil instead of Maxalt? Yes, please.

Bart shows him his card that says works on contingency. No money down. Hutz laughs and writes on the card to change it to works on contingency? No, money down!

It's giving Lionel Hutz.

I've jumped through hoops for Botox, Aimovig, and now Qulipta. I have never paid a dime for Qulipta, which has almost cured me.

I legit have no idea how much it costs, but I would pay it somehow.

I also had to fail SO many drugs to get to this point.

I've benefited from these programs myself for migraine meds. But it always feels like it could just get taken away with every program update.

And ugh, formulary changes are so frustrating. Oh, this works great, but it costs too much, so we're just not going to cover it anymore.

It's a single story, but a fascinating one. You could definitely do a pretty good campaign within that story with those characters.

There is usually a temp period where they will provide drugs until they verify insurance. Infusions can definitely be different too. They'll cover the drug, not the cost of the infusion.

I've looked at many savings program Ts&Cs in my job, and it just sucks. The people who need it can't get it.

Any free drug programs have it written in the Ts&Cs that it is not available if you are on any form of government healthcare, including TriCare, or are uninsured.

Underinsured, sure, but not if you are underinsured because of your government issued healthcare.

Ooh it has handles. Faaaaancy.

Clearly a fern.

We ended up co-sleeping for the first 5 months because mine *screamed* as soon as they were put in the bassinet. Naps were only in swings or on me. Then, a switch flipped, and they were fine with the crib.

No advice. Just solidarity.

Yes. Neverending.

Yesss!

One of the teachers (an art teacher, no less) decided to show a PragerU video to my kid's class. You better believe we raised a fuss. That shit is not okay.

It's not part of our curriculum; she went rogue there. But admin needed to know.

I rewatched the Manos episode of MST3K last night and what an all-timer line: “Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph”

Fuck man

That ice cream is so goooood.

Facts

Luckily, Krieger has tons of back-ups.

I specifically came to the comments to see if anyone posted Krieger. Thank you for your service.

I am so confused by those. Like, would it even be comfortable to wear shaft underwear?

A picture of a white Pontiac Fiero. We had one when I was a kid that looked just like this. It sat in our driveway and rotted. My dad and I both used it as our secret cigarette smoking place.

Right?! Also ugly.

We had a Fiero, another 80s car prone to catching fire. My dad actually drove by one on fire, in his, and the driver from the car on fire laughed seeing him. It ended up sitting in our driveway and rotting.

I love Indiana Jones 3 personally. It is still good imo.

Ghostbusters made me so sad. Because I really loved that one. I used to watch Ghostbusters 2 by choice. But I felt dirty last time I watched it, showing it to our kid. It gets bad right away, too, with Venkman and the college student.

I enjoyed a lot of them growing up, but going back now and watching them is an exercise in frustration. So much misogyny, casual racism, etc.

I used to love Say Anything. It is *creepy as fuck* watching it now. Same with Ghostbusters. Venkman is disgusting.

Tubi has all of Classic Who! Not just what Britbox chooses to show. Tho I guess you have a subscription so you can just watch whatever ones you want.

I hate that I can't stream 9 or 10. I legit don't get it.

It's totally normal to want to share and to stop once she's older.

Until you stop, I will be enjoying these baby pictures. She's like a little spark of joy among a wave of despair. Honestly, your post right after she was born was the first thing I saw opening BS that day. Made me so happy!

That is definitely a humoring you expression. Jeez again, Mom???

Tbf, that is my general state of being.
