I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Yey to E's writing skills. Oh, them GUV'MINT rads!

Does this mean the Heritage Foundation is deminted?

Oh E, you simply must weave your cogent thoughts into an op-Ed piece for some great newspaper. Publish it to the hungry masses please.



Fish tank, hey that's what my rads office had too. MD Anderson has them all over the place, every floor. Hmmmmmmmmm.

ust dropping in to say hi.

Love all the discussion on medicare. In this terrible country my GP can access records, see scan results etc as can the hospital and now actually request older info from specialists.

Today my DD1 has a friend arriving from the US from Louisiana. The other day we 'aided' a phone call giving him some information about NZ and what not to bring. Funny how many people think we are some primitive backward place where you cannot purchase any mod cons. Anyway I feel sorry for him as I know his political views are very different to ours and DD2 can't wait to have him on.ust dropping in to say hi.

I must stop being lazy and get moving. Have to go and fed DD2's cat then will find coffee after which the dining room needs finding. Have spent the week piecing patchwork so things need sorting out in there.

Have a great day

Chickadee, Silvadene was my saviour during rads, wonderful stuff.

And yes we have fish tanks in waiting rooms, must be some sort of universal conspiracy. Maybe the fish are spys?

An update on the pain cream I bought at the markets on the weekend - I can walk without limping and without a knee strap!!! An absolute miracle!!!

suzie,

Could you give the name of the pain cream again?  I must have missed it.  My DH is in constant knee pain and could use the help.

Looks like its only sold in Australia.

Woman with large dental bill becomes a Twinkies kingpin

By Michael S. Rosenwald

When Hostess announced last month that it was going belly up in bankruptcy, ceasing operations and thus turning off the Twinkies spigot, this is what Maranda Berkley saw: $$$$$$$$$$.

Berkley is 29. She lives in Middletown. She has a $2,000 dental bill to pay off, and so, according to the Frederick News-Post, Berkley bought 30 boxes of Twinkies and joined dozens, perhaps hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of $$$$$$$$$$ dreamers selling black market Twinkies on eBay.

What she paid per box: $1. Her resale price: $11 per box. Her inventory of boxes remaining: 8.

“One person from Japan bought three boxes,” Berkley told the paper.

Berkley is also eating into her potential profits.

I love America!

Oh dang I got a ditty stuck in my head....Country Joe and the Fish



"And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for

don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam

And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates

ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die"



My son starting asking questions....Kennedy, Kruschev, duck and cover drills in elementary school, who shot who and why our generation seemed to go bonkers at a place called Woodstock..........I told him it seemed like all the adults in our life thought the end was a coming and it had nothing to do with the Mayan calendar.



So our music, often full of sarcastic wit reflected that. I still get a chuckle out of singing that little ditty even though it really was depressing.

Nice try Athena. I think the mirror is about to implode. We can pick up the shards and any BIG pieces can join us. If they wish. We can be nice. Friendly, kind, silly, sharp...actually most of the adjectives fit. So will some of them.

My DH had surgery yesterday and he's just to that point where he's getting antsy, but still feeling horrible and not allowed to do much of anything until he sees the doctor again on Monday.  In other words...I need a drink.  Where's the bartender? 

Not surprised, but I thought I would err on the side of trying. My biggest fear is that the Mirror women will close their accounts and emerge a few weeks later to terrorize us. The mods have no way of verifying who is whom.

I swear, if Pat, as thread leader, asks the mods to close that thread, I will personally open one myself.

I will not tolerate the days of drive-by shootings.

It is in our interest that the Mirror thread stay alive, folks. Otherwise, they will swoop in here and try to get us closed.

Or, I will have to hear things I DON"T WANT TO HEAR!!!! about what is being said on other web sites. That's as good as doing these people's drive bys for them.

So we need to keep next door alive. I don't want people coming here under aliases attacking us.
