Drunk people on planes.

My goodness, did I ever have an experience.

She sat down next to me and got right up in my face right away to say hello. I mean, her face was right there when I turned around, and I could smell the alcohol on her breath.

And she didn't stop talking, except when she fell asleep, which she did on me, which made me uncomfortable, but I didn't wake her because I preferred the silence. When she ordered a wine, I tried to shake my head no to the attendant, but he paid me no mind.

And she kept touching me, which also made me uncomfortable, and I told her as much pretty directly.

I just wanted a quiet, peaceful flight. Ugh.

Running errands most of the afternoon, getting groceries to cook for dinner then sitting down to relax for a bit then BOOM power goes out. Out for 6 hours

The price of medical care in this country. Brother is between jobs, and I'm pretty certain he's in need of a CT scan...like soon. I'd try to see what this means in the realm of healthcare reform, but when no one actually knows what's involved in that...hard to get a real answer. All I know is the bill for a ER visit + CT scan of brain with contrast + possible drugs/treatment = $5k. Minimally.

This jerk who complained about my wife getting hammered and sleeping on him during her plane ride.

this lady who flipped me off in the parking lot

Oh, and this jerk my wife flipped off in the parking lot. She assures me it was his fault.

I'm sure with Obama Care it will be a lot more than 5K.

I mean, I'm a member of the "medical field", so I reallllly don't understand how these things cost so much. $5k for a moment of a doctor's day and a scan? I give consolations free on a daily basis (I'm certainly no MD). Such a broken system...that they fixed by smearing legal jargon on.

I always thought of that, how it could be so expensive for just a checkup or a scan - I guess maybe they think that they want to be insured incase something bad happens, but still, $5k for all of that is ridiculous

The machines are crazy expensive...but I know how many of those scans they do a day, and it is by no means worth that price. Unfortunately it's not like people have a choice.
