  1. That's because they are crap bikes, not because of the E-conin-me oh come on it was sitting right in front of me You're just jealous Cuz you KNOW my bike is just WAY COOL!
  2. There are some yoga moves you could practice that would help you do your own pap. Actually.... I know that I could do my own pap, but the bimanual exam might be tricky.
  3. Nope... unfortunately they don't. If they did, it would make charting a WHOLE LOT easier.

    IMPOSSIBLE

    1. Fire will freeze water 2. The Dead and cremated will walk again. 3. I can bend distance. 4. I am a super intelligent species of the color green (super green ) 5. I can reproduce by binary fission 6. Disease can be cured by ESP
  5. That does sound cool!!! (but... luckily, if I wanted to play with one of those, I wouldn't have to flash anything... just ask the right friends.... but now we're back to ... is it cuz they wouldn't WANT to use that barter or cuz they know better than to ask for that barter?)
  6. Your 29th? Or maybe 65? (I'm guessin somewhere in between....) Just do something that will make you
  7. ummmmmmmmmm No. (besides.... if you know where to look, you might find a few good sets somewhere on this forum)
  8. Might be because you's gots a purdy mouth.
  9. Cheesy's thread got me thinking. Guys - if you ran a company and a cute il thing came in, what would you do? (girls, we can answer too... but of course we KNOW the truth )
  10. Auto or standard? I am guessing 1295.00 $1299 (I always think it was so stupid for people to do stuff like that on the price is right)
  11. So you really think that would LOWER the cost of having it repaired!? My guess is that they would look at her and say "sweety... you need ALL OF THIS and the tire air changed and the spark plugs rotated and you need to bring it back next week so we can look at your h.... I mean look at the TRUCKS headlights again. Not that I would know. I'm just guessin.
  12. And just what would you know about cold? I knew enough to move away from it. (21yrs of WI winters.... now I'm halfway down the country... gimme another few years and I might hop even further south)
  13. Here's the hit I was quite surprised when he was actually up after 5min. I thought there was going to be some spinal cord injury, considering the rotational effect and the force. And while he was down, it almost looked like he was posturing....
  14. Oh, come on. You're not even north of the Cheddar Curtain. You're in Illinois! It doesn't get cold there... is just gets chilly.
  15. With all the padding they wear a Truck would not hurt them. Well... it looked like he was hit by TWO!
  16. OK... so who was watching the Buccaneers v. Seahawks game? Hilliard took a SERIOUSLY hard hit. I was honestly thinking - "He's not going to get up"
  17. YEAH!!!!!!! Glad you had fun and enjoyed doing something for a worthy cause.
  18. OK... that there was VERY amusing! (and they do say that laughter is the BEST medicine) -but does that mean if I were to come across the pond to visit, I would have to stand on the tv to say "Hello"?
  19. Your elitism is showing. You probably won't be suprised, but I wouldn't call that comment "elitist." He mentioned that he's not wanting to judge them for spending their money on what they might want to, but also noting that by spending that money, more will be taken away. I even re-verified the def'n in websters.... and nope. I see his comment as more tolerant (if maybe a bit snotty at the end... but not elitist)
  20. So, I went to the FULL BREAKDOWN of the World Health Organization ranking of health care systems. source There are nine actual categories. 6 in the attainment of goals section: Health- level and distrubition Responsiveness - level and distrubition Fairness in finicial contrubition Overall goal attainment Health care expenditure per capita in intertnatinal funds 2 in performance On Level of Health On overall health system performance. Lets Stack France against the US. Health - Level France 3, US 24. Distrubution France 12, US 32. Now... I couldn't find reference to what that was truly examining but I'm thinking that personal choices fall into this category. Meaning, we are, as a popultion, acting less healthy. Responsiveness. Level France 16-17, US 1. Distribution France 3-38, US 3-38. What I'm reading here is that the responsiveness in the US system is quite a bit better than that of France. and EQUAL in distribution. Fairness in finicial contribution. Again, I wish that I had what they truly meant by this category. France was 26-20, US 54-55. So we're "less fair"... but what does that mean? Less fair to those that need care and don't have the money or less fair to those on whom the debt falls when the bills are written off? Either way.... we are worse than France and could make it better... but France still isn't the number one here either. Surprisingly Colombia was. Overall Goal Attainment: France 6, US 15. Health care expenditure per capita in intertnatinal funds: France 4, US 1. Looking at that, are we truly as evil and expensive as many proclaim? (EDIT TO ADD - and does it mean that we are the most expensive, and how much are we off by the other countries?) Performance categories: On Level of Health - France 4, US 72. Really thinking our lifestyles fall into play here. On overall health system performance - France 1. US 37. This is the number that everyone keeps throwing around. Is this number an analysis of the nine evaluated categories or is this an independant category. If so, what do they look at: patient satisfaction? (cuz I've read some of the patient satisfaction evals from the hospital and honestly... does contempory interior decorating really add to health performance? relating to comments like "needs newer pictures on the walls" and "needs newer chairs in the waiting room") or maybe discharge diagnosis (cuz here the insurance companies bill on number and severity of ICD9 codes on the discharge... so of course we are encouraed to list ALL the discharge diagnosis... not just the reason for admission and then resolution) But... we are getting off the topic of Wealth redistribution.
  21. Even when I was in the military, I knew how to get around some of the "required" health maintance screenings. I was more healthy, I will admit that. But... just being a service member doesn't guarantee that you will do what is "recommended"/"required." I'm just thinking that people make choices... and a lot of times, when it comes to health, we break the rules KNOWINGLY, but then expect to have a hero in a white coat fix it all. I'm willing to admit that I have broken the rules (infrequent annual exams, BAD American type diet, chronic anemia due to desire to donate as frequently as possible, RUM!!!).... how many others can do the same?
  22. OK... your story sounds pretty healthy. But... there are 4 others that seem to think they are doing all the right things too. I feel the faint sensation of smoke being blown up my skirt. An equal number of healthy and not so healthy lifestyles... in skydivers?!
