If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind,
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.

I'm a socially inept gimp (I have Fibromyalgia, CFS, Degenerative Disc Disease, Scoliosis in my neck, and I've had a double-level spinal fusion at L4-L5-S1 - depression and anxiety, as well - and you can't take me anywhere).
I'm a Dallas Stars fan and have a Dallas Stars Tumblr page.

Please visit my Amazon store! While there is something there for everybody, I've listed a lot of pain relief and comfort items, as well as books and supplements, especially for people who suffer from a chronic illness or chronic pain. There is also the "Entertainment" section, which lists some of my favorite books, movies, and games.
I receive a small percentage of what is sold through my Amazon store, which helps me purchase supplies for my TENS unit, supplements, and, of course, more books. ;)
A pharmacist at a Nampa, Idaho, Walgreens refused to dispense medication that stops uterine bleeding because she suspected the woman may have had an abortion. The pharmacist invoked the state’s new so-called conscience clause that allows pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for emergency contraceptives and abortifacient drugs, among other things, if they have a personal problem with it.
[…] The problem here is bigger than one anti-choice pharmacist. One of the biggest problems with conscience clauses is that they single out one issue (reproductive care) and make it okay for individuals to deny care based on their personal feelings on the issue. People argue that health care professionals shouldn’t have to provide care they disagree with. Really? So then should racist doctors be able to opt out of treating people of color, anti-Semitic nurses ignore Jewish patients, or sexist pharmacists deny medicine to women? For examples that hit even closer to home: why not have pharmacists allowed to deny single men erectile dysfunction medication and pain pills (you never know, they might be related to a vasectomy)?
