    I understand sitting through the child abuse and neglect training is a must. I understand how essential it is. But it's so incredibly depressing.

    Jadzia used to come home from those and demand drinks and funny movies.
    She saw a lot of it in her classroom on a day to day basis, having to sit through classes that she probably could have taught was crazy making.

    Bingo, bango, bongo. I'm glad I did it when I did; I'm far enough from it at the moment that it doesn't turn me into a total Debby Downer.

    Oh my God, my husband just scared the crap out of me.

    One of our cars needs a front brake job, the works, complete with rotors. The local brake place, which would be a quick in and out, did a free inspection for us, and gave us a cost estimate of upwards of $600 for the whole thing.

    Now, my husband's uncle owns an auto shop that specializes in European imports, so we usually take the car there for most major work. However, my husband couldn't get ahold of his uncle, and says to me, "I think I'll just have the brake shop do the job."

    WTF, NO. Get an estimate from our usual mechanic first, please!!!

    I messaged him back saying so, and he wasn't replying, so I began to worry. Lo and behold, he was on the phone with his uncle, getting an estimate. $450. Much better.

    My insurance company finally processed my application. According to the letter I got today my coverage is valid until the second of July. They want another full quarter's payment by tomorrow or I get permanently kicked out of the program. Which means that I will have paid literally every single penny I've made since January for literally not one single day of insurance coverage, and if I don't pay them every single penny I will make through August and then some I'll promptly lose the insurance I never actually had and never be able to get it again.

    Happy Fourth of July. I can't think of anything more American than this.

    That sucks. For a single person without insurance and with a very serious illness it's cheaper--and much easier--to simply die.

    Why do semi-trucks pass other semi-trucks going uphill on an Interstate? Out here in the west some of these hills are 5 miles long. Meanwhile 25 cars with pissed off drivers are creeping along much slower than the speed limit, waiting for the truck to pass. And it takes the truck about 15 minutes just to pass. Sheesh!!

    I don't feel good. I'm wide awake, tired, and I want to go home. Sleeping with one pillow isn't enough of an angle for my ear, and my head is very mad at me.

    On their website our local FOX TV station listed the Women's World Soccer Championship as being on channel 35, which is their sports channel on satellite/cable.

    They neglected to mention the match was also being shown on their free broadcast channel.

    Duh-mbshits.

    While we're bitching about that... Hope Solo got to play in it instead of, yknow, being kicked off the team in disgrace.

    I have no idea what Solo's story is, good or bad, but yes she played.

    Carli Lloyd, who plays for the Houston Dash, won the Golden Ball as the tournament's outstanding player. She scored three of the five US goals in the championship.

    Nutshell summary?

    Solo apparently beat up her nephew after a night of heavy drinking. The deposition is an interesting read.

    Detailed look at Hope Solo's domestic violence case includes reports of her being belligerent in jail

    One of the things I find bizarre about the whole case is this:
