Friday's for fun today

I have free time today and I considered going to the DPSS, but I just don't feel like it.

"DPSS serves a county of 9.818,506 (US Census 2010) million residents, larger in population than 42 states; an area of 4,083 square miles, encompassing 88 cities; and the needs of an ethnically and culturally diverse community."

I, tiny drop in a bucket of nearly 10 million, have other things to attend to, like learning about plants. I want them to process my paperwork, the way they are supposed to. Just process it. It's already been more than 90 days since I signed up originally. Go, go, go for Cesar Chavez.

My special body has lasted a while without insurance. I guess it can wait a little longer. Anyway, even if I get it, there's half a chance that whatever treatment I am prescribed today will look old and outdated tomorrow. I can read the uplifting things:

Honestly, though. This waiting forever for my application to get approved is like experiencing a textbook example of how lower income people get screwed over by the system. I didn't exactly feel like I was wealthy when I was a kid (not in the private school/horse owing sense) but the child support was always paid, we weren't on welfare, and I had health insurance. As a kid, I can remember that I actually LIKED going to the dentist. He was that nice man who put bubble gum flavored stuff on my teeth (which would taste really gross to me now.)

Interesting post on poverty:

The clip with Leonardo DiCaprio at the end of it is entertaining enough to make me want to watch the movie...although, not quite as entertaining as the dinosaurs in Trog!
