AP exam scores come out tomorrow at 8 a.m. EDT and I can't sleep because I'm so ****ing nervous. Also I saw Barenaked Ladies and it was one of the best concerts of my life.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees ajj and doesn't think you're referring to Andrew Jackson Jihad

Horrible day. Doctors are, as always, completely useless.

Spoiler for boring personal information:

Did you mention that you think it might be blephartis?

Lazy doctors prescribing antibiotics <<<

I mentioned it offhand, yes, but in my experience, doctors don't like when you so much as imply that you might be self-diagnosing and will be even more condescending toward you as a result and/or think you're a hypochondriac.

There is exactly ONE good doctor in the whole Dallas/Ft.Worth metroplex but he is very much in high-demand so you have to wait months to get an appointment with him. I adore him though. He's very short and wears cowboy boots.

Yeah noticed the same, they don't like it. I've had a similar situation to you, and it turned out I was right after several visits and different doctors but it was a thing you need a quick diagnosis for otherwise the damage is done and well the damage was done.

Really annoys me that they just prescribe things so quickly.

Yeah, and I hate they they seem to discourage patients asking questions. I know that with more serious conditions it's best to have someone with you, as you'll receive better care if you have your own personal advocate of sorts.

I've personally managed to get rid of certain ailments with kooky-seeming home remedies because that's just what you have to do sometimes if you're poor and living in the hell hole that is America.

Read a lot about net neutrality today. Looks like this is an American problem, since the rest of the world doesn't use Verizon, AT&T, or whatever else.

I do have one question though here at the end of the day. The abolition of net neutrality means extra fees for internet users, right? So does that mean fewer poor people online? If so, I'm in favor of the abolition of net neutrality.

ISPs are being greedy. They just want more of an ability to charge for different speeds and also charge companies different amounts for the bandwith usage. I feel like Netflix is one that will be hit the most. They want to be able to slow down bandwith to certain apps or block them entirely.
