Vermont might. I know they have laws prohibiting insurance companies from denying for pre existign conditions. They also have state run insurance for those who don't have any or can't get it through their job, based on certain parameters. And on a sliding fee scale based on income.

I think it would be whatever state has the best public hospitals, no? Those are the ones that have to serve the uninsured. I don't think pre-existing conditions come into it.

Another favorite quote: "They have wives and kids and mortgages, and what am I gonna say? I killed the President of Paraguay with a fork."

Just in time for the next snow.

Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. I...kinda don't want any more snow days. We are gonna be in school till July at this rate, and I feel like I've been teaching the books I've been teaching for about 2 years. Ugh.

and the snow is almost melted off my driveway, and I don't want to shovel another 8 feet.

I'm trying not to think about the midweek storm. I KNOW it isn't as bad as last year, but really. That was enough. It broke me a bit.

And I'm just tired of shoveling every few days.

S. jut mentioned it and I growled at him. I HAVE to get out of this house this week or I'm going to lose it. Even the kids are tired of the snow.

OMG. So I went to the market this am, and there was no spinach. So I consoled myself with a loaf of chile cheese bread from Atwater's. Which has always been good, but was a red chile powder based and slightly sweet. But they changed it, it is now green and savory, like my one true chile cheese bread!

So, Showgirls is really really not good, huh? Maybe if I watched it a dozen more times in the right company, but I don't think so.

Showgirls was educational for me.

A) Brown rice and broccoli is the magic food stuffs that will lead me to ultimate skinniness.

2) Never be first down the stairs.

Two excellent learnings!
