I think the colonoscopy sweepstakes is a perfect symbol of our healthcare system.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

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.

Somehow, no longer possessing a cable subscription and thus no longer watching commercial television, I have completely missed this... "colonoscopy sweepstakes."

Those freak me out. Ozzie Osbourne does not make me want to get a colonoscopy.
At least he isn't ruining something you wanted to do.

The last thing I was told was my doctor has to personally call them to convince them to give me an appointment.
That's ridiculous. Are people really filling up the schedule with a ton of frivolous colonoscopies? I hope your doctor can get it straightened out with minimal bother for you.

I saw the commercial during the one TV show I watch all week. I couldn't escape it, even with non-cable-TV! Damn you Ozzy Osbourne!

Me too, and I'm not entirely sure I want to know what it is.

Well, I mean, I don't have much else going on this weekend, and it sure sounds like fun, with the whole sweepstakes thing!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Dude who would want to win the colonoscopy sweepstakes? That's right up there with the mallet-to-the-head-a-thon.
Ugh, I feel for you, Ginger. I hope they schedule it ASAP and with no more fruitless phone calls.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
My father actually has had a fair number of colonoscopies(His grandma did get cancer there, but, if I have the right grandma, kind of at the point where something would take her out anyway, like after eighty.) I keep waiting for technicians to say he'd get better results not keeping his head up there, too, but, you know, dang managed care.

Oh, how frustrating, Ginger!
Last night I dreamed I visited Jilli in her mansion/castle!
Hee! Your dream sounds like the sort of life I would have. Not-very-serious zombie attack, so let's have a puppet show? Sure!

No. Shit. No one wants to get one of those. The fucking cleanse drink you have to do prior to the colonoscopy is the WORST. Oh and BTW, I woke up in the middle of mine.
Horror. show.
Here's to quick scheduling Ginger. I wonder if you could travel a bit out of town to get it done?
