You know it is bad when Shimell is a regular Jumper at your DZ and he ISNT the most annoying. That is a powerful statement that just brought this thread to a whole new level.

hahah.. ok you're allowed to say "woman"only cause thats what your WOMAN told you to do.

Now Kitty.. You know if you are going to keep a pet, You have to feed the pet. That one only takes veggies and beer. True.. and when the beer is gone, we know who to send to the store.

We love it even more when you call us "babe" or "girl" instead of our name! If you think you might get confused, just take a moment to remember our name before you say anything.

What kind of beer?? Mind if I come over? Whatever Blaine hasn't finished off.. anytime darlin!

True. Well if I recall, at my house I'm the one who stocks the fridge with beer. Though I'm not the one who drinks it. I like to have some for company.

I think that actions speak louder. Anyone can end a conversation with, I love you, but a man who means it will show you he loves you.

There are enough students at the farm right now that the beer fridge should be fully stocked. I think the answer to your dilemma is a new bright and shiny BEER BOARD!

Hahah ... J say no to ME?? Not likely. No I meant that theres either people who want to take bum food and beer off of you, or people who want to start some stupid drama. None of that sounds like fun to me, so I just go home.

Start saying no. People will quit asking. This is one of the reasons I'm not at the dz every weekend anymore.

Congrats Grandpop!

Well, that helps you to be objective. Don't confuse that with working for an insurance provider, the root cause of crappy health care. The only point I wanted to share was that people without insurance DO get treated. If that wasn't the case, then my hospital's bad debt write offs wouldn't be in the millions. I STILL don't want government regulated health care. At least, not as my only option.

Oh hush! Its not like beer comes in one flavor! I like a lemon in my hefe.. but do not put one in my shiner!

I guess they're just Christian animal lovers, and they're so busy being Christians that they don't want to associate with non-Christians on their message board? I don't get it either. Do you think they have a Cocheese?

Well its not a british beer, but I like a nice Hefeweizen with fish and chips. Its got a lemon flavor and not too heavy with that starchy meal.

Thats YOUR job!

No I got your point. I just re-directed it to another less obvious point along the same lines. Right, maybe a *non* profit driven model would work better. As long as the portion of the population who makes money isn't left picking up the tab of the portion who doesn't. Yeah sorry, I'm a capitalist. edit to say what I meant instead of meaning what I said.

A Christian message board and theres a Role Playing forum? I is confu-sed.

Hell yeah I'm paying for it, since it affects the profitability of my hospitals, and therefore my income. Not to mention all of the extra work I have to do in order to not get paid for it. I spend a lot of time in the business offices of hospitals. I've seen a lot of self pay patients who never bothered to apply for medicaid. You'd be surprised how many people think that medicaid should be knocking down their door to sign them up. And lets not forget charity hospitals such as the Scottish Rite who don't even charge a co-pay.

This is obviously a complicated issue. Short answer, no I do not want Govt Health Care. Many other tax related issues would have to change before I would be comfortable with any MORE of my money going to pay for other's health care. I have no problem paying my Medicare taxes. That takes care of elderly and people who CAN'T take care of themselves. What I am opposed to is paying for people who WON'T take care of themselves. In addition, I know there are many cases of people being rejected for health care because of insufficient coverage or lack of insurance. 90% of people who do not have insurance, qualify for Medicaid. Medicaid reimbursement (the dollar amount they pay a hospital) is ridiculously low, yet patients are accepted and treated. I work for a health care corporation that owns a network of seven hospitals. Our annual bad debt write off is in the multi-millions. What that means is, uninsured ARE accepted. Self-pay patients ARE treated. (I know Michael Moore wouldn't listen to that though). We work with patients on payment plans, and we pay a lot of money to collection agencies to get these patients to pay their bills, and most of the time, the money just gets written off and absorbed by the hospital. Thats not a good situation for the patient, who might have already had bad credit, but certainly does now, and its not good for the hospital who now has less of a budget to grow and treat future patients. I definitely believe there are problems with the health care system the way it is. I just don't believe that govt acquisition is the solution.

I'm supposed to be sunning myself in the South of France. But I spent all of my money on bills and didn't buy a plane ticket or make any other travel arrangements. So here I am, at work. Sucks, man.

I think that you're just used to being around him, and since you're not right now, you're worrying just to occupy your mind. Sure bigways are a little scary, but you know he can handle it. I'm excited for and proud of all of our boys up there this week.

but before I could get to the station in my pickup truck,

Happy Birthday Valinda!

Kitty did you get the ol', 'Did you bring enough for EVERYBODY?' talk in school quite a bit? I never had enough gum for the whole class.
