Football, for me, is like coleslaw... I want to like it, I really do, but when it comes time to give it a go I just can't stomach it. I keep trying to like it, I want to like it, but every time it's meh at best.

At least I have baseball for a little while longer.

Are you even gonna get $5 worth of milk from two people?

Sleepy puppies...

I have been running a rig based on an AMD FX 8320 since 2012. I guess 11 years of continuous operation is well beyond what it should have lasted. It was a great rig, but no matter what I do for cooling it spikes to 130°F as soon as it crosses 15% utilization and by 30% it's at 175°F.

It's alright, Vishera, you can rest now.

What's the opposite of doom scrolling? Because that's what I'm doing here, the opposite of doom scrolling. I rarely browse through this site without smiling at something. You all are the best of the 'net for sure...

Finally, some positive news, tempered with a little realism, but positive nonetheless... Modern medicine/science might as well be magic.

"Freedom Warrior" felt the need to lecture me about being a sheep for wearing my mask in the cardiology waiting room...

Sir, we're just trying to protect ourselves from whatever science projects your dusty ass is distributing around the room.

I have discovered that I have grossly underestimated the effort required just to stay on top of laundry, dishes, and feeding everyone...

TV is on in the other room and I just heard someone refer to Congress as the most privileged nursing home in the world 💀

First round of chemo in the morning. Was advised that we would be there "sun up to sun down". I would give just about anything to be able to carry this burden for her.

All she wants me to say is "no, Mommy isn't going to die" and all I can say is "we have the best doctors and they are doing the best they can". All she wants is "no" and I can't say it...

Still staring at this estimate. The gross cost of one round of chemo is $40,048.50.

Now, this is before any insurance or anything. We are lucky enough to have great insurance, but this is absolutely disgusting. Multiple rounds are a given, but what if you need 6, 8, 10, or more rounds and you have no insurance or minimal insurance.

Why was the idea tax payer funded, cost controlled, universal healthcare a bad thing?

Rituxin 750mg
$26,424.00 per dose

Even with great insurance it's still $3,500.00 co-pay. Per dose. How the fuck are people supposed to afford this shit.

Fuck Genentech, maybe ease up a bit on the profit margins, assholes.

Sleep is incredibly elusive these days...

Fuck

I went to the Barbie movie because it was my daughter's one request after an absolutely hellacious week.

I enjoyed the Barbie movie because I went in with zero expectations and it was actually pretty entertaining.

Fuck it, keep that shit coming, I was built for this and I might break down along the way, but I ain't stopping. I'm only being impacted, not afflicted, pity party over...

I'm all for having more data/info than less, but this patient portal is terrifying.

Notes: malignancy highly likely
Liver mets likely
MM likely

Report: Not loaded. Refer to pathology report interpretation with specialist.

WTF. Why put the fucking notes and withhold the report. Oh, and then not have an "interpretation discussion appointment" available until "Monday, or maybe Tuesday". tf.

How the fuck does a tumor go from not there to softball sized in less than months. What the shit.
