A disability doesn't improve with medicine.

I think I understand what you're saying, but disabilities can absolutely improve with meds. Not all of them, and not all the time, but it sounds like that's what your ex-wife's experience was. She had disabling conditions, but it was more manageable when she took her meds. Despite this, there are aspects of her disability which were (are?) still challenging.

To me, THAT'S the experience which defines disability: you've got a condition which, despite yours and your doctor's best efforts, continues to express itself. And even then, I can see a lot of potential issues using that definition in terms of government support. It's compicated.

It's SO plain looking, I'm surprised too! He usually goes for "tackiest possible approach" so this feels like an oversight, even though its objectively a better outcome.

Ha ha! What makes you think I have friends?

Ha ha mis-read the title and thought he was doing a public demonstration of his own fitness. I could use the laugh.

I believe the other groups have already boarded the plane and are impatiently waiting to take off, while group 9 still has to leave the terminal.

Type D is listed but not visually shown. Am I missing something?

That's going off the deep end for me. I prefer the interpretation that its a video essay on masculinity. "What makes a man a man?" is the central tenet of that movie, and personally, knowing that was a really crystallizing moment that made all the bullshit fall aside. I read a beautifully succinct essay about this somewhere and will look for the link.

The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its "just" a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂

We're on vacation near Goderich. 1 "white lives matter" sign, but SO many "No Hate in Huron" signs. Very glad people are countering the hate messaging.

The national intelligence director said she was referring Obama administration officials, including ex-FBI director James Comey, to the Justice Department for prosecution over allegations they had “manufactured” intelligence to substantiate the idea that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump beat Obama’s former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Wow, if I were them, I know I sure wouldn't want to expose this theory in a court of law. They must be pretty confident in the outcome to blab this around. I get that it's a distraction, but if they actually pursue this, it'll still be very telling

Hey everyone, I've got a question and am hoping the community has some ideas. Is there a way to export Merlin's Life List at all?

My husband and I have been birding amateruly for 2 years now. We've heard almost 150 different birds in that time. I was browsing the life list this morning, remembering how we started, and how a couple of internarional vacations are VERY clearly identified! I'd love to be able to visualise this adventure we've been on together!

Can I export this, or am I better off copying it over manually? Help me jedi of c/birding, you're my only hope!

 

Inspired by my mis-reading of a recent post title, I'd like to ask if anyone has strong recommendations for an artist who can capture my beautiful boy in paint? Canadian-based if possible?
