I was, by Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn. I couldn't get the surgery to remove a tumor in my head, until I was actively dying and it had reached emergency status....or thousands of dollars were paid up front before they would even schedule me. I made too much to get aid. I didn't make enough to afford insurance. My grandmother and aunt both took out second mortgages to help pay for a surgery that I needed to have, in order to have a fighting chance at surviving. When the housing market collapsed and an ARM readjusted on my aunt two weeks after she got laid off...well...you can see where that is going can't you?

Joey has a much cooler look than I do.

While I know my opinion here really means little; since I am far from fashionable, not a big beautiful goth woman (I'm actually a terribly thin guy, shhh!)...but I do agree with her. I love seeing peoples imaginations at work when it comes to clothing. Hell, on this board we have some women who are AMAZINGLY good at making things and it's always fun people watching, when you can see self expression in every aspect of a person. How they walk, talk, their skin, their clothes..I love it. (btw, I so wish I could be bigger. I am so envious. I honestly am.)

Actually, nothing. All in all, I'm in fairly good spirits. A few frustrating moments of the day...but I've had many a good laugh today!

Some days I'd rather that, than be in a situation where I have to be the villain - no matter what I do. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

While his post has little to do with fashion-or anything at all to do with fashion, its at worst a sharing of an opinion. He isn't being insulting, not attacking anyone, just derailing a little. There is nothing wrong with having an opinion, even if its not a politically correct one.

Welcome aboard the board! Damn, you are like the 7th one now in Southgate. Right on!

It exists in every aspect of life. It irritates me when I spot it myself. Of course, a LOT of things irritate me in life hah. I'm quite opinionated on...well...everything. Epic_Fail_Guy - your post AND sig are made out of equal parts "win" and "Yessir" imo. Sluagh, the DGN moderation staff reviews every thread in which something is objected to by members of the posting community. We examine things and ascertain to the best of our ability if said post violates the rules of DGN. Not every reviewed post receives a reprimand.

Pretty basic and in place from day 1.

A couple of threads with differing opinions and multiple pages of discussion from more recent times...personal favs of mine. There are a lot more. Age Differences Walmart fires cancer patient for using medical.. Obama's state of the union 2010 address A lot of people come on here and get silly. It's natural. A lot of us are friends off the boards and it's natural for people to be silly with their friends. You want differing opinions? Visit the politics/news etc area. Nobody agrees there. Ever. Some exchanges get heated. We leave it alone, until someone starts attacking another person instead of their opinion.

What about his package?! Republicans turned off by size of Obama's package Opinions By Tom Brandt / Opinions Editor Friday, January 30, 2009 Republicans are not sparing the rod when it comes to beating up on President Obama’s economic stimulus package, but it’s clear they are unable to raise their membership to withstand the newly found vigor of his congressional muscle. President Obama’s massive $819 billion spending-and-tax-cut package was rammed through the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday without the support of a single Republican member. Even with 11 Democratic representatives opposing the bill, the 244-to-188 count reflected the bulging Democratic majority that has now swollen the House. Ever since the Republican fantasy of endless majorities began collapsing beneath a disgusting load of GOP lies and incompetence in 2006, Republicans have quickly come to realize they can look probably forward to many legislative defeats like Wednesday’s ahead. For six long years, America gave the Republicans all the rope they wanted – and sure enough – now they have hung themselves. While the lopsided tally of Wednesday’s House vote surely must have been hard on GOP members, President Obama was not about to stick it to Republicans, as he graciously invited Congressional leaders of both parties to the White House that evening for cocktails. “He said he wanted action, bold and swift,” pointed out Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, according to the New York Times, as debate began Wednesday morning on Obama’s gigantic package, “and that is exactly what we we’re doing today.” As debate over the dimensions of Obama’s package snaked through the House, the blame game over who bore responsibility for America’s current economic pickle grew predictably partisan. According to the Times account, Rep. Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina, raised the familiar argument that GOP tax cuts in 2001 had stimulated years of job growth. The firmness of the U.S. economy had only flagged, Rep. Foxx complained, once Democrats fastened their grip on Congress in 2006. These comments obviously pricked the ears of Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, who noodled his GOP opponents by pointing out it was their member’s dysfunction that savaged America with “the economics that got us into this mess.” Although conservative commentators like Fox News’s Glenn Beck have hammered the president’s stimulus package as somehow “socialistic,” arguing in his January 26th column that America should “call a spade a spade,” most observers view the Obama plan as much more likely to stimulate America’s flaccid free-market system than Bush and Paulson’s bailouts for the big banks – which shafted the country’s real working stiffs. The meat of the Obama package consists of billions for the states, and programs to help families overcome the hardships brought on by six years of Republicans jimmying with government regulation and jacking up corporate welfare. In the end, witnessing the Obama stimulus package being massaged by Congress is much like watching any government sausage being made; it’s not for the faint of heart. But this package is probably the best tool available to stimulate America’s soft economy – and in that, we can all take some satisfaction. The Obama package may not be the best piece of stimulative legislation ever to enter the Oval Office, but it represents the best job harried congressional members are likely to come up with. And it certainly beats any package Bush ever raised.

Very true. I still think Ministry belongs. Prong, not so much. Not at a club. The industrial remix of Refuse/Resist from Sepultura I enjoyed.

Good call, Deadcat

Haha, that game got raunchy! Before it was done, we were intentionally placing bodies in opportune places... Drunken DGN twister for teh win!

Beat me to it, I was about to post a very similar post!

It hadn't, was making sure all performers and staff knew what was up first He is right though, this show IS postponed. Any pre-sale tickets sold will be honored on the new date at the new venue. Stay tuned, much bigger and better is right around the bend! Questions, comments or concerns? Email the troupe.

I've called and/or messaged damn near everyone I need to now. I've learned a LOT. The place is worse than I thought lol. Right decision yeah..just...a pain in me ass to deal with atm.

For the record- I loved the game of twister I was involved in.

When I woke up, I was in a lot of pain and felt sick. She took care of me, put a smile on my face and made me feel like I was king of the world. That, made my day.

Having to make a hard decision.

Sssccaaaaaaarecrooowwww....

First - much <3 for Axelle_Anxiety. Sticking strong to her love of something, even in the face of some pretty creative and heavy criticism of it. I respect that. Now, that song is not my thing...but I am also stuck in 1994 *shrug*
