Basically the horror Ginni Thomas sees every Saturday night.

Just because you aren’t Beyoncé doesn’t mean you aren’t beautiful.

After the other one, I’d be very afraid.

Texas is a lot bluer than people give it credit for, but we are one of the most gerrymandered states in the union. Going blue will take more like 70/30 instead of 51/49.

Before people judge the state, they should look at how the populated cities vote, and understand that the big swaths of red on the election map tend to be inhabited by cows and hogs.

Texan twiddling his thumbs like…

Indeed, a lot of drugs that are non toxic have tolerance created in the brain, while more toxic drugs have to get processed by the kidneys and liver, which is why the functioning of those organs contributes to tolerance.

The tolerance isn’t totally mental, it just takes longer to build and recede than alcohol does.

To each their own though, not trying to pressure anybody.

That’s why people smoke it. You can feel how high you are with each puff and can control it easily.

Weed may be strong, but it isn’t fentanyl. One toke over the line is not the danger zone—even less so than one alcohol shot over the line.

Well they couldn’t very well call it the Sexy 29.

Wouldn’t be missed.

Think different. /s

So…does France go apeshit, or are they all revolutioned out?

You can’t be 100% certain that’s not his dick.

I’m going to attempt to answer your question for real. I have never had to cremate a person, but I have cremated pets before. One time I think I may have gotten a symbolic collection of ashes, and the other time I was pretty sure I got my exact cat. The difference was visible in their system.

The first time I did not ask many questions, and I ended up with a bag of ashes that had a sticky note with my name on it. It would have been very easy for the wrong bag to be placed with my name, or for the notes to fall off and get mixed up. It was clear that accuracy was secondary to creating a chance for closure. They were very nice and professional, it was just clear that they had not felt it necessary to have an iron clad ash delivery system.

The second time I needed to cremate a pet, I asked a lot more questions, and all were answered without any surprise. Considering the type of business it is, it is always ok to ask a lot of questions about the process.

They put a tracking barcode on my deceased kitty as well as on the body bag he was placed in. When I picked up the ashes days later, the same barcodes were on the tightly sealed bag as well as on the carrying bag, plus they had his collar and a pawprint memorial in the bag too. They could have given me random ashes still, but the care that they clearly put into their system gave me a strong feeling that they had held up their end of the bargain.

The sad truth is that there is probably no way to be 100% sure, and it is likely normal for some ashes to get left behind while others may be unintentionally scooped in. The best you can do is make sure that you ask all the questions you need to (don’t let anxiety shut you up), and try to pick a place that will treat your loved one with dignity.

I work in American healthcare. Your doctor is actually one of the worst people to ask about coverage.

Unfortunately, the only solid way to be 100% sure of coverage is to call your insurance company and make them guarantee your planned procedures in writing. Every doctors office has a department to deal with insurance—after you talk to the insurance company you will want to talk to the insurance department at the doctors office and give them the written statement from the insurance company.

After your procedures, your bill will be processed by a medical coder at the doctors office, and a clearing house coder who gets things ready for your insurance company, before it potentially gets double checked again by coders who actually work for the insurance company. Those people will not have any clue about the arrangement made prior to your procedure, and this is the series of steps where something might happen that would cause your insurance company to not pay.

If you did your due diligence and got everything in writing beforehand, then the insurance company will kick the bill back to the doctor, at which point it will be reviewed by a payment specialist who will be able to see and use the written commitment to force the insurance company to process the bill.

This whole process takes anywhere from weeks to months, so you may not know there is a problem until a while after your appointment.

Welcome to American healthcare. Good luck getting whatever you can.

But it wouldn’t come out in the wash. Crazy people would be incentivized to have even more kids to increase their vote. They already do it for “God’s will”, so why not do it for America?
