With all due respect my co-pay is $854.21 a month, with the other drugs I am on for side effects my monthly out of pocket is about a thousand dollars a month. Novartis has completely slammed the door in my face. It doesn't matter to them at all that my insurance is grossly inadequate for this outrageously expensive drug they will not help people with insurance. Even my oncologist implored them on my behalf. It amazes me that they will give it for free to people without jobs or insurance but that people like me with jobs are refused totally. I don't need a free ride, just a little help. I am a single mom who is struggling to work six days a week to pay for these drugs and keep a roof over our heads. My oncologist tells me I fall into a medical black hole. I earn to much to get help but not enough to stay alive. I cannot cut my hours and pay for G. And i have to many hours to get help. I feel exhausted, scared and am getting bitter. Its like whether you get to live or die depends on who your insurance company is or if you are unemployed. I appreciate that Gleevec is keeping me alive longer, unfortunetly working so much to pay for it is killing me faster. I wish I could think Novartis was 'wonderful' too. Jayne

Suppose your friend says to you, "She says that she loves me and she must be telling the truth, because she certainly wouldn't lie to someone that she loves." Which of the following would be a logically justified response to what your friend said?
a. "That makes sense to me! Better propose soon while she still loves you."
b. "I hate to have to tell you this, but your argument actually supports the conclusion that she must be lying to you."
c. "I hate to have to tell you this, but your argument actually supports the conclusion that she does not love you at all."
d. "Slow down there, friend. While it may be so that she is telling you the truth, your argument doesn't establish that she must be telling the truth."

Your Love Life is Like The Princess Bride
|
"Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind."
For you, love is like a fairy tale - albeit a fairly twisted one.
You believe romance is all about loyalty, fate, and a good bag of goofy fun.
Your love style: Idealistic yet quirky
Your Hollywood Ending Will Be: Perfectly romantic

I finished reading Harry Potter. I'm saving the epilogue to read with Chris. I can't help but feel a bit of sadness now that it's all over. On the other hand, the book made me feel so many emotions, so much more than mere sadness. I'm glad I read it. And I never read anything.

So last night I witnessed a C-Section.
I even brought a puppy to life.

I have multiple jobs now. The bright side is that they pay over minimum wage.
Today was the last day of work for the girl who trained me. I didn't think I'd like her at first, but I am really going to miss her. I hope things turn out okay for her. She deserves it.

I wish I could fast forward time. The most imminent time would be Sunday.
Anyway, a few people in my family have noted that my Spanish has improved. I have made a goal for myself. I'm going to really try to be fluent in Spanish by the time I finish my bachelor's. Yes.
Oh. Guess what I did the other ( dayCollapse )

Remember me? Maybe you do. Maybe you don't. Anyway, on with the point.
As a concrete update on my life. I finished my first year of college. Whoopee.
I don't even know the amount of sleep I got last night. I don't even remember how I fell asleep. Only that I woke up to Chris, who told me I had been sleeping all evening and asked me if I wanted a brownie. DAMN it was good. I love chocolate too much. Then I commenced with the sleeping. Here I am now. And boy, did I have some crazy dreams.
I would get into it, but I am doubtful as to whether I could articulate it accurately.
I take a new route back to my house. Everytime I pass Carpet Factory Direct I wonder how Amanda is. Then I feel a slight tinge of guilt for not contacting her when she gave my mom her number. I don't remember it off hand, but I knew when I saw it that it hadn't changed. It's funny how more compelling traits do.
I must do some other things now. Contemplate life and what I should do with it.
I hope you all are doing well.
