Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

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

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

OMG Typo Boy. Insane. Does this mean your costs will go up?

Well my health insurance costs will go up, because health insurance is the only benefit I will get from my Chamber membership, so I will count that as part of my insurance cost. However even worse is that I will no longer be able to see any of my current doctors. Hello all new primary care physcian, all new oncologist, all new physical therapist, all new optometrist. If I'm very lucky I may be able to keep my current dentist. Other than that not one of my current health care providers will be covered. I'm so glad we don't have single payer health, because then a third party might stand between me and my choices of doctors.

Yeah, Typo, you wouldn't want you health decisions made by a bunch of bureaucrats.

My health insurance went up $50 a month for next year. I couldn't afford it before. It's not like I can shop for health insurance. Like Gar, I'm uninsurable outside of a pool.

Thrive to spite them

The stuff I sent via Amazon to my family got there! I didn't spring for wrapping so they'll just open the box.

We're going to Skype - Mom said I'll have a place on the couch and she'll make sure I can see all the presents.

She told me I have to get up early Xmas morning and have Skype ready because she's going to try and be waiting for Evander to come down the stairs and see the tree.

Last year he was so cute - he went and saw the tree and saw his tricycle and sat on it for the whole day. Not just for presents, he watched videos from the comfort of the tricycle seat.

The insurance stuff sucks and it's complicated and so much of the current system deals with what people claim will happen if we change the system.

The insurance stuff sucks and it's complicated and so much of the current system deals with what people claim will happen if we change the system.

But at least it's the most expensive system available without being commensurately effective. So we can rest assured were paying top dollar for mediocre outcomes. Yay.

It's sort of like shopping at Best Buy.

Ride in Daniel's new (to us) van. DONE

I must gush about the van. It was left to my mom by her boyfriend Ray when he died. She had put it in storage when I mentioned that my truck was sucking down gas at an appalling rate.

So now it's mine. Sort of on permanent loan, for now.

It's a 2000 Chevy Venture minivan with the Warner Brothers package.

It has a drop down LCD screen behind the front seats so passengers can watch videos.

The part that made me laugh today was when I realized they didn't have a DVD player. It has a VHS player in the center console.

All that wiring and Chevy couldn't spring for DVD in 1999?

That's kind of hysterical. Did we have DVDs in 99?
