HOT HOT TOPICS
– I have never had to use my epipen since being diagnosed with a nut allergy eight years ago. like many people who feel that the cost of epipens is prohibitively expensive, I tend to wait at least a year past the expiration date to order new ones. a new law in new york state has capped the out of pocket cost of epipens to $100 which is significantly more manageable. this law shouldn’t be necessary and I, and many in my situation, shouldn’t have to ration lifesaving medicine due to costs.
– if you haven’t watched the newer wonder years series based on a vietnam war-era middle class black family in montgomery, AL yet, change that. it’s one of the best things made for tv in years.
– do you think that tv or movies have forseen or showed us futuristic events?
– what’s your stance on food coloring? cancer causing evilness or just whatever, hands off my baja blast!
– who is the best disney princess and why is it jasmine? with simba second.
– do you have a favorite book?
– what was your favorite holiday growing up?
– interesting thought process/inference. you see a lot of voice actors in particular in anime and chinese anime dying from or battling cancer. you could say about 20 years ago it was due to the fact that microphones and radios were made of asbestos back in the 90s and 80s before it was known as harmful. but what can you attribute to a lot of voice actors in the modern day passing from them? another similar but semi-not related point would be a lot of mangaka passing from or battling cancer
– what is a song you adored when you were younger than brings back fond memories when you think about it or hear it?
