Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Our wings are not tired.

Suzi, I am glad they're scheduling surgery for you even though I know outpatient can still be scary. I think you'll feel LOTS better after the surgery!!

Suzi,

have you had surgery before on a limb? The only thing I would like to say is make sure you do your exercises. They are very important. You don't seem to be the type to slack off on those, but do them as prescribed (and really not more often unless approved).

Thrive to spite them

I am in an argument over birth control with some guy I don't know on a former coworker's facebook. I can't seem to walk away.

He keeps saying that Obama's "demanding that we pay for someone else's birth control." I think the we = taxpayers but I don't know.

But there's no cost to taxpayers with this. If your employer doesn't include birth control in the insurance package, the insurance picks up the cost.

I guess the insurance company could increase the price of something to offset the cost of birth control, but that's as far as it would go. Right?

ita !, I'm sure I've seen something very similar to the dress you described. Let me do some poking around the gothy fashion sites.

Well, I suppose in theory on Medicaid? But...cheaper than paying for anyone's pregnancy, which is why most insurance companies aren't really fighting this one.

ita, does it have to be one piece, or is two (sheath and blouse) ok?

(OK, dunno how you'd feel about the feathery fringey on the dress)

He keeps saying that Obama's "demanding that we pay for someone else's birth control." I think the we = taxpayers but I don't know.

He could mean that we = people in the insurance pool. But that's how insurance works. We pay for (some of) other people's birth control, child birth medical expenses, lab work, diabetes treatment, broken bones, illnesses, accidents, and the wear and tear from living and aging. If we start narrowing it down by what every person involved approves of, only vegans that spend their entire lives alone on well-padded treadmills in the middle of a hermetically sealed living environment with filtered everything will qualify.
