Pretend human and own worst enemy. What am I doing here? Where is this? Do I really need to share my opinion on anything? Why should anyone care? Ignore the creature behind the curtain!!! Do not perceive!

Nope.

Ok, self. Pep talk. We got a haircut today. We are going to need less shampoo and conditioner than we think as we have about 1/3rd the amount of hair we did this morning.

I don't want to be a consumer. I want to be a patient. I want to receive comprehensive high quality care from highly skilled medical personnel when and how I need it, the same as everyone else, without ever having to worry who can afford it.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Well, I haven't given insulin injections to a cat (or anyone else) since 2007 and it's my first time using a pen injector. WOW the needles are SO small now. Making sure I get into the skin under the fur is the hardest part of everything now.

Uh oh. I just realized I am in line for a prescription for my cat and I don’t know her birthdate. Well, this will be fun.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Doing grant writing stuff and looking at expense reports from some very specialized conservation professionals -- who are miraculously billing their actual food expenses rather than a per diem. I am torn between being thankful that they are, and my inner manager yelling they are undercharging.
