To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;
The state of US healthcare.
I have a few mix-tapes from a friend who passed a few years ago. I have waited to get a refurbished tape deck so I could play and digitize them. No deck yet, so I am building them as playlists. Here's the first one I've done.

A playlist created from the track listing of a mixtape from Alabasterjuju from the 1990s. I miss you, Alabaster.
Side B starts with Furniture's "Brilliant Mind".
This is the first of several cassett...

I hate online auctions. There was a really cool movie poster for a decent price and it sat like that for several days. Then in the last minute, the price sky rocketed. I'm not a collector or anything, but to me it was a cool movie poster. Not that I even have extra money to spend.

There's a lot of things I remembered happening during this story (in the movies), and I so many of them happen in "The Return of the King". I had totally forgotten that.

A typical Christmas-time tradition I am hoping to start with at least one of the kids—watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Which so many trans people said was exactly what was going to happen
You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away
"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

I don't really follow NASCAR as much as I used to, but if I were a driver, at any point in my career (active/retired), I wouldn't be flying on any private planes.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

Oh, and @skepchick.org wrote some stuff on the back. 😉
Seriously, though. I miss sending and receiving snail mail. Who wants to be pen pals?

Reaching out to someone to see if I can get a copy of a mutual friend's band's album from like 25 years ago. I only met this person very briefly in '94. I have lost the CD our friend sent me. And, unfortunately, our friend passed away. I always meant to ask him if he had any copies laying around.

None of the streaming services get this right. If there are multiple bands/artists with the same name, they tend to get lumped into a single artist. This is just dumb.
I received a notification about a new single from a band I have listened to, Death.
