if the US Corporate masters decide they would gain benefit from owning the
Canadian shale oil fields and all the fisheries and forests and we declare war
on you and take over Canada can we call it Obamanada?

Whine, whine, whine. I wish
that damn US health care package would hurry up and get up
and running 'cause then maybe we won't have to
listen to all the fear mongering and complaining. Maybe if
you stop calling it "Obamacare" you will start
opening your mind a little and becoming more objective. So
many who are against it are not fans of Obama so they label
the health plan "Obama" such and such. Next
it'll be "Obamawar", "Obamacrime",
Obamapollution" ...

What's up with that?

Bhairitu, about the good idea of

is shorter and they are much more susceptible to injuries.

Okay, I have a Google Nexus phone, but
it wasn't free but I didn't pay what the
telcos say it costs when
they offered it as a contract phone. I bought it
direct from
Google Play and they update the phone OS when the
latest OS comes
out (eat your heart out Alex).
But I don't chatter much on phones. I mainly
communicate via
email. BTW, I owned my first cellphone back in
the early 1990s.
I paid $20 a month for 60 minutes of talk. Today
I pay $30 a
month for 100 minutes of talk, unlimited texting
(which I rarely
do) and 5 GB of 4G data which I use though only around
1/2 GB a
month. Go figure. The plan is a prepay too
(no contract).
The Nexus is GSM so if I want to move to another GSM
carrier I
just get their SIM card and install it. And the
phone acts as a
"remote" for the Chromecast.
I have Medicare Part A only. I won't pay for
the B part nor for
supplemental. If I have a medical emergency I
figure I'll
negotiate a lower fee from the provider (you can do
that BTW).
Look into what Uninted Health Care pays their CEO
BTW. His salary
is too damn high! We not only need a minimum
wage but a maximum
wage too.

There's an old guy I know who
lives up in Austin - he has a Virgin Mobile
'pay as you

phone - simple
operation and it was free. Now that's
better!
When he needs to talk he can buy some minutes
at the store
- he can buy a $10 or $20 top-up card. The old
guy is only
spending a few dollars every three months on
his phone!
Now this is really funny - the guy doesn't
have anyone to
talk to much, but he can pay for his phone as
he goes.
LoL!
The big problem is that the rent's too
damn high!
The old guy is on Medicare, Part A and Part B,
and he's
got UnitedHealth Care as a supplement.

Now, the medical insurance bill is going
up?
Not to mention fixing the price - so that
younger people
pay more to keep the premiums down for the
older folks.
If we had a single payer system for medical
care, the
federal government would pay all medical
expenses for
everyone. So, how much would the rent go up
with a
government paid health care system?
Go figure.
If I am elected, I promise a job for
everyone so they
can make a decent living wage and pay their
own medical
insurance bills. That's my ticket - to
create jobs to
make money and lower medical care
expenses.

So, when I returned

asked them how much would it cost just to

technician to put a 'trap' on the
line to filter out
the other channels, so I told them to
close the
account. It's Friday and the cable is

The rent is too damn high!
This week I took my daughter's PT
Cruiser in to the
dealership because she said the front was
'wobbling'
at 35-40 mph. The service manager called
back and said
one of the front tires had a
'ball' on it. He
recommended getting four new Goodyear
Eagles, balanced
and a front end alignment - $950. What!?
Now, why would anyone want to pay close to
$1000 to
put Goodyear Eagles back on the same car
that already
had a Goodyear tire with a ball on it at
30,000 miles?
So, I had the tires rotated, front to
back, for $15 on
the south side, sweet!. Maybe I'll buy
two new Falken
tires at Discount Tires. Go figure.
The rent is too damn high!
