people from my waaaaay back when are still reading my ramblings.
pretty much every day, i’d estimate.
don’t be shy people! i see you reading … it’s okay to say hello once in awhile.
i’m sure the same could be said for me, but until this afternoon, i didn’t even know half of you all were still ON here.
come on, do the decent thing.
you read, you say hello.
it’s only fair.
last night’s epi produced some stellar quotes that deserve to be shared:
and here’s a total mindfuck thought:
there are rumblings on the internet that not is all as it seems … people are searching for the show’s loophole, and here’s one that pulls the rug right out from under you.
what if those aren’t really ted’s kids? he’s telling them how he met their mother, sure, but he may not be the father? (we’ve heard him say “son” and “kids”, but those could be general addresses.)
hmmm … could that be? is it really plausible? if so, that is some fight club shit right there!
btw, husband shares his birthday with ted. he’s quite pleased with himself about it.
i when i got married last year, we added despite this, i three months ago, his fortunately, the entire system is jacked up. we need i think it’s fabulous that we are a goodwill country, always trying to help other nations, but dammit, when are we going to help ourselves?!?!
have been really fortunate to have continually had health insurance my
whole life. my dad was in the military and we were automatically
covered (although my mom didn’t like doctors, so we didn’t really take
advantage of them) … coverage stopped when i turned 23 (because i
went to college) but i had just taken my first corporate job, which
offered decent benefits.
husband on there. i routinely complain how the amount per month went up
(it almost tripled what i was paying as a single person), but i KNOW
it’s way cheaper than private insurance.
TOTALLY understand the dilemma of finding/having insurance when you’re
in-between jobs. husband’s dad is a contractor, and has been going
through months of unemployment between contracts. husband’s mom is
chronically ill with infections/illnesses and she has to be on NUMEROUS
special medicines. just one of them costs 2K a month without insurance!
(and let’s be frank, she has to ingest a small pharmacy daily, which
sucks for her, and their pocketbook)
contract ended, and so did his insurance. for months, they were just
uninsured, having to pay for her medicines/treatments out of their
savings. they were searching/comparing insurance companies, but there
are LOTS of restrictions/high costs to contend with.
he recently got a new job, but insurance doesn’t kick in right away.
they’ve put themselves on cobra in the meantime, but they have to pay
the back payments (three months worth) of insurance to show they were
constantly covered, even though they weren’t. (and i don’t know that
they get reimbursed for the $$$$$$$ they put out on her meds over that
time)
someone who can actually fix the system (or at least make it a little
better … i’ll take any improvement we can get) and take care of our
own!
happy birthday, husband!
i<3u.
i’ll have the one on the left, thank you.
i get bored.
thank you, sharpie.
p.s. did i mention i’m seeing the in-laws tonight?
this’ll go over swell.
damn you, impulse!
robin and barney kissed!
wow. just wow.
it was legen — wait for it, wait for it a little more — dary!
enjoy in the interim:
just sayin’.
(then)
(now)
here’s how it went down:
the pope was giving a speech outside the white house.
he finishes.
president bush stands up, comes over, shakes his hand and says:
“thanks your holiness. awesome speech.”
seriously?! you say AWESOME SPEECH to the pope?
he totally should have thrown in a fo’ shizzle or something.
get down with your bad self, bushie.
(lol, i don’t know why i expected anything else from him …)
btw, here are a few other bush blunders, courtesy of the australian news:
— president bush’s “awesome” remark to Pope Benedict was the latest indiscretion to be overheard worldwide.
—
at a summit in st petersburg in 2006, the microphones picked up bush
addressing tony blair with: “yo, blair. how’re you doin’?”
—
in the same exchange, bush gave this assessment of the middle east
peace process: “the thing is that what they need to do is get syria to
get hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over.”
— meeting the Queen on the white house lawn in may 2007, he momentarily
added hundreds of years to her age: “the American people are proud to
welcome Your Majesty back to the United States, a nation you’ve come to
know very well … you helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in
17 — in 1976.”
