'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My insurance is just about twice what Brenda pays. On the other hand, they've paid out $100,000+ on me in the last few years.
Hi, Nilly! I'm doing fine, except that I had to have five visits from the plumbers before they stopped the leaks under my kitchen sink. The last visit seems to have done the trick, but I'm still reluctant to put everything back.
Oh, Nilly, I'm hanging in there. Writing and looking for social justice, mostly. And they are both going well enough, but I wish they could both be perfect.
Gah, I won't see Project Runway until at least 6PM tonight, and it's going to be hard trying to avoid spoilers until then. Not reading the whitefont, not reading the whitefont, slightly worried by the context of the whitefont...
(hugs Canada and my somewhat crappy extened coverage through work)
I think there have been four failed attempts for national health coverage in the US in the last 60 years.
If Roosevelt had survived the war, we'd probably have gotten national health insurance in 1946.
Damn you, Hitler!
Hitler killed Roosevelt?
I can totally imagine somebody saying this. Even in Hebrew, because we use the English words for "shell" and "script".
The other day when I was cursing my php & sql scripts, I had a wonder a bit moment about programmers in non-english speaking places. You pretty much need english, huh? Or do they translate it? I have no idea. I write very read-out-loudable code (because I can't not. Very literal) so I started mentally writing german and french sql queries. Then I remembered I had to debug the damn script and quit.
Kat, the fierce descriptor kinda nails the source of my discomfort (and kinda smushes it.) I'm feeling like being waaay under the radar right now, and my hair isn't. I'm in a sloppy-bun-tied-up-with-a-pencil mood and the hair isn't. Huh.
Hitler killed Roosevelt?
Well, the stress of the war probably shortened Roosevelt's life. (He died of a stroke in early '45, I think.)
We had a medcal savings account for a ong while and I liked that system. Now we have a group plan at work. I guess it's ok. We do work for doctors so we never actually pay them.
don't tell, but I'm going to sneak in Perkin's suitcase when she leaves for Galapagos
I am confused by the need to fly to Florida to go to the Galapagos. I thought they were off the West coast of South America? Is she taking the scenic route?
This is an interesting concept - a real estate site by the Expedia people that proposes to value your house. Except I tried mine and it told me what it was assessed for taxes at, which is, at a guess, at least $60K less than it would sell for. www.zillow.com
It also says my house is 2 br when it is 3, and says it has baseboard heating when it has radiators. Oh well.
