Or just use a scanner. There's not fun Ctrl+F feature, but it's still better than nothing.

The bigger problem is that with wind energy, we can't "store" it like we can with nuclear power and whatnot. It has to be used right away, which is kind of a problem, if you ask me.

Oh yeah, this was early college when I was like 18. I had suffered from depression since about 14, big self-harmer, all that jazz. When she told me that, I realized I needed help. Real help. It took a lot of therapy, but it's gotten better. Now, I have a problem with chaos in my home since I had my daughter 6 years back. Having messes and disarray puts me in a real tizzy, like panic attack mode. My husband isn't helping and with the added stress of finishing college, working all the time, and just life...I've debated if I need to go back to therapy and perhaps go on medication. I have this very real desire to jump off the roof of my house, or just not get out of bed at all, and it's terrifying.

The thing with drug regulation, is that you buy your patent on the drug for so many years, usually the 15-20 year mark. So, this drug's patent was up and therefore for sale. Now, while it was cultivated in the 70s or whenever, the original makers were probably able to keep it cheap. However, when Shkrelis bought that patent, he probably did pay a shit ton for the patent and is trying to offset his expense within an appropriate time frame. Did he overcharge? Of course. It wasn't illegal, just unethical. However, he's an entrepreneur. Those guys are always jackasses. Blame the involvement of the government for ridiculously high prices on healthcare. Health insurance should be like car insurance to an extent: you have the ability to shop around ahahahahahahahaha I wish.

As it should be. Seriously, don't let kids be little shits.

I think I banned myself from Christmas party interactions for next year. There were 3 girls at our annual Friendsmas last night. 1 had moved away last year and came back as a surprise for the weekend, so the 3 were taking constant selfies for hours and being generally loud and uppity. I couldn't take it, I was ready to go home, but hubby wasn't at all and I didn't want to leave and make him said, so instead I said, "You ladies are so loud you're depleting my social meter battery." The room got uncomfortably quiet.

We went and saw it yesterday. Had a fantastic theater crowd that clapped and cheered along with us.

Isn't it only that the writing for Japanese is considered more difficult? So it is easier to learn how to speak in Japanese before learning how to read it?

North Dakotans had a while there where it was pretty much 100 degrees every day. We're just not used to humid heat. We get a lot of the dry, Arizona-style heat though. 80s-90s in the summer is a totally normal thing.

Oh you poor thing. Tell you what, we can trade. It was a gorgeous 10 out here to start and will have a high of 18. And just some wind gusts through today ;)

Yeah, only when it's 2+ feet, the sheer weight is overwhelming, and the city already used its budget since it's the end of the year right now and they can barely run plows. But in truth, I haven't seen school closed due to snow in years. School got closed once or twice last year because it was about -75, but that was it.
