FLUFF: Tell us your favorite weird movie, and...
by GentlyFeral inall right, now that we're talking about movies again, let's turn each other on to some of these:the best movie you thought you'd hatemine are: perfect blue my first exposure to intelligent anime.
come to think of it, this is definitely a "best weird movie," too.fight club i'd been avoiding it for years because of the violence.the truman show i mean, jim carrey's mugging plus cliched preachments.
well, that's what it could have been.basquiat a depressing ending to a story of mixed accomplishment and really bad judgement, complicated by mental illness but the scene where he hallucinates a work of art he has just designed, and smiles it explains so much.

Is the WT really hemorrhaging members?
by GentlyFeral inwhile reading one of gumby's threads today, i figured out how to articulate something that's been bothering me about our analysis of wt statistics for a long time:.
the supposedly "missing" publishers.
recall your own first year of field slavery: you needed to be going out in service regularly, and turning in time, before you even qualified for baptism, didn't you?

Did your kids wise up before you did?
by GentlyFeral in....don't really know how to phrase my question any better than that.. see, i left when my daughter was 12 and my son was 19. but they were both ready to leave years before that!.
at 17, my son heard a talk about conforming to the borg.
"don't put any energy into being different," the speaker said.

Another WORKMAN'S COMP question - URGENT, but not scary
by GentlyFeral injgnat and everybody, thanks for your advice and help!i discovered that it's fairly common for california lawyers to take workman's comp cases on contingency.i've emailed several local lawyers, explaining my situation in some detail.
i intend to set up consultations asap.. however, that claims adjuster alerted someone who works with disability management in hr.
she (the hr lady) wants to set a time and date to discuss "the resolution of your claim" which "would allow you to control your medical treatment.

WORKMAN'S COMP IS TRYING TO END MY CLAIM
by GentlyFeral in...because of a mistake i made, near as i can make out.. i've been a medical marijuana patient for several years, and usually i have workman's comp send me a copy of the year's treatment/doctor visit records to take to "dr. green" so he can prove that i'm actually getting real treatment for a real sure-nuff ailment, per prop.
this year, i wasn't quite sure the records would arrive at my house in time, so i asked the claims adjuster to send them directly to "dr.
green".
