Once upon a time a female brain cell, by mistake, ended up in a man's head.....
She looked around nervously, because it was so empty and quiet.
"Hello?", she cried, but there was no answer.....
"Is anyone here?" Still no answer......
Now the female brain cell started to feel really scared,
and she yelled as loud as she could, "HELLO!!! IS ANYONE HERE???"
And finally, she heard a faint voice from far, far away: "We're down here."
just an fyi for anyone interested - there is a major drive on to push the bill forward for national healthcare in the usa.
you can sign the petition by going to http://www.onecarenow.org/.. it has gone through one part of the process last year and now the push is on to get it moved to the next level - it is backed by over 400 groups including the uaw i believe.
it is no longer if it happens, it is only a matter of time as to when it happens.
In the July issue of the American Journal of Public Health, Harvard researchers found that while US residents spend twice as much per capita on health care, they're 19% more likely to face unmet health needs than Canadian residents.
"These findings raise serious questions about what we're getting for the $2.1 trillion we're spending on health care this year," said Dr. David Himmelstein, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard and co-author of the study. "We pay almost twice what Canada does for care, more than $6,000 for every American, yet Canadians are healthier, and live two to three years longer."
a couple of others I forgot:
- the chocolate-covered blueberries prepared by the Trappist Monks of Lac St. Jean (to die for!!!)
- Alberta's oil fields, making Canada the largest supplier of crude oil to the United States
- Quebec's massive hydro-electric power, enabling us to supply hydro to places in Ontario and the U.S. during horrendous heat waves

arthur, .
in a thread on another post you asked the question quoted below.
i thought that it deserved a thread of its own.
“ When people claim, 'you attack me not my idea', perhaps they should look at that idea more carefully as it may be so naive and with such little substance that only an ad hominem response would grace it with any dignity at all.”Actually, if you’ve ever seen any kind of debate between highly educated and intelligent people, who are very aware of the issues they debate and have researched such thoroughly, you will find loads of comments such as “what nonsense”, “you don’t have a clue”, “don’t be ridiculous”, etc. etc. And at the end of the day they’re all still friends and feel rather invigorated by such vociferous display of their intellectual acumen.
It does not mean (in those instances I've seen) that the ideas thus expressed have “little substance”.
Of course, that last statement does not necessarily hold true on this discussion board J.
did he think he would not be tested?
especially since the french just booted their top cyclists for steroids?
something smells fishy.
This is what I read on-line:
" Suspicions arose that Landis had tested positive after he failed to show up for a one-day race in Denmark on Thursday. He also missed a race in the Netherlands on Wednesday." (source: AP)
zidane explains world cup head-butt
zinedine zidane has claimed repeated insults about his mother and sister spurred him to head-butt an italian in sunday's world cup final.
the french captain declared "i'm a man first" to explain his reaction but refused to repeat the "personal" remarks.
It turns out that big Matta said to baldy "I hear you are playing for Glasgow Celtic next season". Now if that's not an insult I don't know what is
LMAO!!!
i know i don't post much, but this board has been a source of confort to me in my journey out of the borg.
that is why i want to share with my online friends that my beagle, remington, is very ill and i would appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.
he is only 8-yrs-old and is my baby.
Alana, I'm sorry to hear about your poor pooch. I was wondering if you would be able to find a holistic veterinarian where you live. Several years ago one of my cats became severely jaundiced; the first vet (the regular one I used to visit) told me it was chronic liver disease and after spending the night at the vet's he told me there was nothing to be done. I decided to take her home with me for a little while and get another opinion. I found a holistic veterinarian (they have the same education as regular vets plus additional homeopathic/holistic training) who diagnosed acute (as opposed to chronic) liver disease brought on by certain environmental conditions and prescribed granules of potassium and other things over a period of several weeks. That was about 9 years ago. She's 12-1/2 now and still bouncing off the walls with energy.
Needless to say I phoned up the original vet and let him have it !
Hope all goes well - hugs to you and pooch!
oh, ya'll are gonna love this one (copied & pasted as sent to me, i added a few more breaks to make it easier to read, otherwise untouched):.
we had approx.
5000-6000 thousand in attendance, this was in huntsville alabama.
yup, it's making the rounds here in Canada also. I received it from a dub "friend" who probably thinks I need the encouragement . It just makes me feel sorry for them, needing stuff like that to keep 'em plodding along down a dead-end street.
why aren't witnesses vegetarians?
it's well known that adam and eve were vegetarian.
there was only ever a concession given by god to allow meat eating after the flood as there was no vegetation so it was forced and rather a temporary fix up rather than a new permanent diet.
three weeks, sun, sand, the other s, French food and wine and doing as little as humanly possible apart from reading loads and lounging in the water when it gets too hot.
damn, and I thought my summer was good !
Have fun!
