    Drat...blocked at work! www.sextingjoslynjames.com Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- A former porn actress who says she had a three-year intimate relationship with Tiger Woods posted text messages online Thursday that she says the golfer sent her last year. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/03/18/tiger.woods.texts/index.html?hpt=T2 Please don't dent the planet.

  3. Kinda like seeing how many times you can get a Dem to vote for crappy legislation? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  4. Dammit...I think I got some of this thread on my shoe. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  5. Now we have a playbook that will allow the Dems to support reform without actually voting for it? You guys still figure you can pick up that turd from the clean end ,eh? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  8. So far one of the most clear statements on this thread ... Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  9. I'm wondering if there will be the same problems the venerable Caprice had when they first tried ABS. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  12. They create jobs in this country...never worked for super-poor folks. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  13. I have a hard time believing my premiums are high because of that aspect. Indigents and freeloaders already have government sponsored healthcare programs. I still haven't seen anything that makes me believe my costs will be reduced in any appreciable amount. Nothing on tort. Right now we do 'make sure we don't get sued ' treatment. Really expensive lawyer driven. My stent implant and 2 day stay in the ICU was $54,000. My insurance company only paid a small portion of that amount (25-30%). My part of that program was $5,500. But guess what...lot's of people wouldn't be able to do $5,500 much less $54,000. So what's mproved? Am I to believe I'll have a lower deductible? Doubtful. My deductible and premiums won't go higher? Sounds alot like 'jobs saved or created' thinking. Awful difficult to quantify. Where does the rest go? Write off for the hospital and doctors I'm sure. Nothing in there about that I've seen. Competition? Nah. I'm just not seeing the benefit. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  14. You like it that some DON'T get the health care they need right now, because it saves you money? No taking your bait. I know it costs me regardless. I have a problem with being required to pay for it. It being HC and all of the other entitlement programs. It's getting old to me John...paying so someone else gets something for nothing. This new version requires everyone to buy HC or face penalties.. What a crock! If I don't work or pay taxes what are you going to penalize? It requires businesses of a certain size to provide coverage. Ultimately the consumer will pay for that in the form of higher retail prices. I've yet to see anything in these discussions that indicates the basic problems of affordability and accesability will be improved for everyone. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  15. I don't see the shell...I see a big hole. Where do you see the offsetting decrease in costs? Taxes and fees and requirements to pay more for most so that some can get theirs. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  16. Sometimes you can't tell the difference Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  17. all we need is the "If you ride it"... Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  18. Wanted to bump this in light of all the talk about HC reform and the fact that I was surprised and a little disappointed that I couldn't get anyone riled up with this when I first posted it last week. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  19. Many jumps using a freepacked heavy cloud in an SST. Never had any problems but I didn't have to look at the deployment either. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  20. Seems I remember this story from last year too. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  21. It's been difficult to find any info on how this new reform will be expensed. Obama says it's fully funded and actually will reduct the deficit by 100B http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/22/news/economy/obama_proposal_payfors/index.htm?postversion=2010022216 Realspeak: Insurance company offering a good policy gets their balls chopped. We all get lesser coverage or you can pay even more for your cadillac plan. Realspeak: Tax increase Realspeak: Let me see ze inzurance papers comrade Realspeak: Let me see ze inzurance papers comrade who operates the collective. Realspeak: We'll tell you how much you're allowed to make. Realspeak: A tax that doesn't look like a tax. My feeling is this, if you have a quality policy you can kiss it goodbye in the name of making sure your bretheren get theirs. If you don't have coverage you'll be required to buy some POS policy that really doesn't do much except in the case of a catastrophic event. Fail Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  22. Who makes that decision then? Could it be......a panel of some sort? Yea...that's it. We'll call them the "Life Panel". Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  23. Shhhh....you're not allowed to speak badly of Obama, and certainly not in the same sentence as GWB. Didn't you get the memo? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  24. Wow.....never though I'd hear any lib admit it. If you read anything particular "lib" into that, either I worded it incorrectly, or you misread it. Blues, Dave Well Dave, I'd hardly characterize you as a conservative. But let me make sure I understand your post. You don't care if a universal health care program provides coverage for people who, through their own actions have caused their health problem. Am I misinterpreting? Please don't dent the planet.
