And then two months ago, I was visiting them, knitting hats while we chatted. My sister pulled out the old unicorn hat and my niece, now 17, exclaimed “I loved that hat! I wore it all the time!” And let me tell you. My heart. Just love for her all the way down to my toes, you know?

It was funny, the whole room was laughing, myself included. I actually couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen it ~that way~ myself. I assumed she’d never wear it, chalked that be up to experience, and it’s just a funny memory for me.

I had already read multiple Stephen King books by that point, a bunch of romance novels (including VC Andrew’s). Nothing has ever disturbed me as much as Lord of the Flies. To this day the most frightened I’ve been was reading Dollhouse Murders by Betty Ren Wright in like 2nd grade.

Yeah, my daughters’ troop is combined, and it’s been great. They were basically acting as one troop anyway, since there were so few girls, and the whole pretense of having them separate seemed silly.

A relatively of mine with a very ill child had to quit (white collar, corporate) jobs three separate times after hitting the $1-5 million dollar caps his insurance companies had in place.

Aren’t almost all health plans now high deductible/catastophic anyway? We haven’t had anything else since like 2012, and we’ve had both ACA and insurance through an employer, and we haven’t had lower than $8k deductible. How much more does he want us to pay?

OMG no

Zofran doesn’t cause birth defects. We sure are quick to put women’s health absolutely last. Take the fucking Tylenol, your baby will be fine.
