Eeew! Mondays are evil!
Interesting health care ponder.
We tend to take the National Health Service for granted in the UK, and bitch about it when it is slow/ dirty/ not very advanced, but I have to say I am glad we have it. Even if it does take a bite out of my pay cheque, it's just one less thing to worry about! I would so be one of those people who forgets to renew and then get into trouble.

Got to run now... with no energy - this will be interesting!
P.S. I haven't had chiropractic treatment for 5 months and my headaches are starting to return... I need a chiropractor who doesn't charge about twice what my chiro in Melbourne used to charge!

Hello Mr. Zeek,
You're the owner of some crappy tool. We're going to be upgrading some shit on the server that your crappy tool lives on. You're going to need to get up at 4 effing 15 effing am Sunday and verify that your crappy tool still works after the upgrade. Have a shitty Sunday. :-)
4 effing 15 effing am
Hello Mr. Zeek,
We're experiencing some delays with our server upgrade. Testing will resume in an hour OR A BIT MORE.

Zeek: Hello? Anybody? WHAT'S GOING ON!?!!
Oh hello Mr. Zeek,
We're experiencing some delays. We should be ready to test in about a half hour.

Zeek: Um? Are we testing yet?
Oh yeah Mr. Zeek,

Good morning peoples.
Had to change a tire on the Jeep this morning 'cause some (can't think of any other derrogatory name other than F-A-G) person didn't poloce their brass. There was a 7.62x39 (commonly used in AK's like the one I had) cartridge stuck in the left rear tire. I did learn where the jack and such is for the Jeep so at least it was a learning experience.
That is to good thing about machines Zeek. We can cuss them until the end of time and can never be charged with abuse. Now if we could only abuse the dumb asses who screw them up.

Um ok then I must be evil too..'cause there are several companies out ther that ofer reasonable ( about $75-100 a month) health insurance to self employed and temporarily uninsured. I know 'cause I am using one right now to cover the gap between my last job's insurance ending and my new job's insurance starting. If I had chosen to not get temp health insurance and I got sick, I'd think it was my own supid fault for not getting insurance. So while it's really sad this woman is sick, she could easily have procured insurance for herself while she worked her own business.
Hate to be the voice of dissent, but getting an individual policy is nothing like getting a temporary policy. A temporary policy doesn't go through underwriting the way an individual policy does. A single maintenance prescription or any type of on-going issue, no matter how insignificant issue (allergies, anyone?) will exclude you from getting an individual policy. It really isn't an easy process.
I've seen situations like the one Zeek mentioned happen a lot. It really is unfortunate, but it's not always avoidable. Sure, this person could've possibly found an employer that offered health benefits, but even small employers are struggling to keep health and welfare programs in place. A lot of them are having to cancel their programs because they can't afford even the required minimum percentage of the premium payment.

Anyway- yes stupid people who don't police their brass have flattened the Jeep's tire ( poor Mavis)

sorry was tired enough to have a small iced mocha and am now very very energetic ( will pay for this later with extreme sluggishness, but I have to get this database finished by 1pm
Oh and I have lunch in my Serenity lunchbox today.. oh happy day
NV ( who changed the tire super quickly and was so sweet abotu being late to work to solve my problems)
HUGS Rugbug...yeah see this is why though i think the woman should have been better prepared and all, I really htink we need national health 'cause no one should have to choose between health care and paying bills...
