May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Where are the sacrificed chickens? Our premiums really did go down...

I really don't get it. And the really confusing thing is that the PEBB is talking like the average take from employees would be $81, making me wonder if they accidentally posted the per-paycheck number rather than per-month.

But the numbers are correct all over. Even if this number is wrong and it should be doubled, it's still a double tall latte cheaper than last year, while Group Death's premium doubled.

OK, this isn't an error. Here's the press release: [link]

For individual UMP PPO subscribers, the 2006 rate will be $14 a month, less than half the current rate of $33. Full-family coverage will cost $49 a month next year; the 2005 family rate is $101 a month.

YAY!

DUDE! SWEET!

That's like, umm, a large portion of our monthly budget right there.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

how can there be such a thing as good insurance news? wow, I don't think I ever saw a miracle before.

ION, I hate when someone who always call between dinner time and bed time ( when he is on the road) doesn't call. esp when it is possible he was/is driving around.

Edit: yay he is on the phone now.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You mean with offspring? No. Though I did find this website: [link]

Bwah! Seriously, though, this... thing was black and had rat ears and short fur with a big bushy tail. Total sqrat (much better spelling). It was nasty.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and may the treatment stick
Ye good and varied gods, I hope so. BiL didn't get admited last night, something about his blood alcohol being too high and then having his legs go numb (diabetes side effect, I am thinking) sending him to the ER. But he's in now. And there are thirty days for it to find something in him to stick to.

The insomnia faries have struck. I have PT early in the morning too. These are a little less than mixy. So this might be a vent-n-run.

I also skipped a couple hundred messages to get here too. There's a threadsuck waiting if I can get to it tomorrow night. If I missed anything, nudge me.
