"Can't spell cologne without alone," I muse as my excessively applied fragrance drives everyone from the room, leaving no one to correct my spelling misapprehension.

This led to soaring insurer stock prices and higher costs, often benefiting insurers more than patients, especially those not using care.
Nobody seems to want to fix the problem without reversing the benefits. We need more coverage, and more competition.

However, it inadvertently drove up affordability issues, with premiums rising 6-7% annually (2024-2025) due to market consolidation and regulatory burdens that favored large insurers.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) successfully reduced the uninsured rate from 14.4% in 2013 to 7.9% by 2025, expanding coverage to about 44 million people through Medicaid and subsidized Marketplace plans.

I'd rather see The Vulva Monologues than The Vagina Monologues. The latter is too deep.

The Israel-Palestine peace deal.

So she's crediting Trump with the Israel-Palestine peace deal?

Once when I was in pain in the ER waiting to be seen, I hyperventillated for a couple of minutes to get some endorphins to kick in. It helped a bit.

Really sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to get relief.

How do you feel about ponies?

A pony with great ambitions attempts to mate with a full-sized horse. It is not working, because the pony is standing on its hind legs and its shoulders are at the horse's butt.

I had AI write a couple paragraphs and I like where it ended up.

A few booths down, Draco Malfoy sauntered in, his Slytherin swagger unmistakable, looking like he owned the place. He spotted Harry and sneered, tossing his platinum hair like some kind of pureblood James Dean. “Well, if it isn’t Potter, slumming it with the riffraff,” Draco drawled, leaning against the counter, his wand casually twirling like a cigarette. Harry gripped his own wand under the table, itching to hex the smug git, but something about Draco’s hollow eyes stopped him—like maybe he was just as lost as Harry felt. “Shove off, Malfoy,” Ron snapped, but Harry just stared, thinking about how everyone, even Draco, was playing some kind of role, pretending they had it all figured out. The diner’s neon lights buzzed overhead, and for a moment, Harry wondered if this was what it meant to be a wizard in a muggle world—caught between magic and misery, trying to hold on to something real.
