10th grade English. Long-term sub made us read Ethan Frome (strike one), then gave us a quiz with questions like “What was the name of Zenobia’s doctor?” Still pisses me off!

Seriously, they scheduled the Rapture during Rosh Hashanah? Happy New Year, I guess.

I think we’re at “very concerned”, so we still have about 10 levels of concerned to go.

The Post describing these as ‘trade deals’ is journalistic malpractice. It’s like me writing up half a shopping list and claiming I’ve finished shopping. Or as a great statesman once said, they are ‘the concept of a plan’ of an agreement.

Thanks—I’ll look into them. People have recommended Alpine, but I can’t get past that fee. Can’t do anything at the moment, anyway—we lost our employer-based policy, but can’t sign up for ACA coverage until August 1. Such a great healthcare system!
