    A lack of whimsy

    OK. An insulin pen is good for 28 days unrefrigerated. How much do they cost without insurance? I'm type 2 diabetic and I know all about monitoring your glucose. A blood sugar monitoring kit is relatively small. I've sewn the back pocket from a pair of jeans onto the inside of my denim vest...

    A lack of whimsy

    Social circles change. It's inevitable. Some more often then others. For me it was the kids in elementary/junior high and they faded away when I got into high school and started partying. That got me into friends that lasted into my late 20's. But as they settled down and married, moved away...

    national squatter database?

    I squatted in my house for over a year and a half after they foreclosed on me and my neighbors were glad that I did. The mortgage company knew and didn't care. I got the impression they looked at me like a free caretaker. I took care of it and maintained it. The locks weren't changed until after...

    national squatter database?

    Should we just all spend our free time filling it with bogus entries? But for public buildings, though. Not private residences. Make them just this side of outrageous enough to be believable. "I think one of them is named Oy, as I keep hearing them shout that at each other."

    Ferguson Mayor Rejects DOJ Report

    And also @EphemeralStick I don't blame you being wary. In this day and age it's surprising to see any kind of victory for the people. For it to turn out to be a hollow victory, just for a headline, that actually goes nowhere would not be unexpected or unsurprising. I'm just sooooo tired of...

    Ferguson Mayor Rejects DOJ Report

    From the couple of articles I've read about when the DOJ dips their fingers into oversight of a Police Dept, it doesn't make them perfect but does make them a hell of lot better then they were. It's not an overnight quick fix, but a fix none-the-less. Like if you could make a quadriplegic walk...

    Facing Arrest in Turkey

    You lucked out man. Turkish prison is infamous. However, I think it goes hand-in-hand with the court system that has absolutely no pity for foreigners smuggling drugs. And that's what you hear most of the horror stories about.

    Yes, you can be 'held for questioning' without being charged. You can't not be 'in the system' in some way. There is a chain of custody and you must be 'signed over' from one person/department to the next. They may play games about allowing you to contact a lawyer, such as "We're still in the...
