Question about fiscal cliff..

I've heard a lot about those who get unemployment checks will be hurt by going over, but what about those on social security? Will they be affected at all?

Daughter just sent me this pic, is it legit?

"The Assumption Song" ...posted without comment

Well, I just outed myself as an atheist. I was...UPDATE

getting so sick of all the "we need to put god back in our schools" meme friends were putting on facebook. I finally had enough and fired back. We'll see what happens, wish me luck! But I do feel cleansed.


Well it's been about 24 hours and all I got for my efforts was one "Read the bible" and total silence. Not good morning (which I usually get every day from one particular friend) nothing, zip. So I'm wondering if I'm getting snubbed or are they taking the time to think about this. Hmmmmmm

Just saw this posted on facebook....

Question about buying a used stringed instrument...

My grand daughter (age 10) is learning to play the violin in school. She is using a borrowed one for practice. We are thinking of buying her a used one, my question is...what do we look for? I know nothing about stringed instruments and don't know how to tell a good one from a piece of junk. Can someone give me some pointers? Thanks for any help.

Well now I know personally why our insurance is so high

...My doctor prescribed a drug for high cholesterol, I took it and it made me very ill, so bad I had to go to the ER. Naturally I stopped taking it. Doc said try cutting it in half, so I did, no go, still made me sick.

So he writes me a prescription for Crestor, the name brand, non-generic drug.

First I have to wait a week and a half to be "pre-authorized"by the insurance company (death panel?) for this drug, then I find my co-pay is $30 for 30 pills!!!!...

So I decide to find out how much these suckers cost out right, this is what I found out...

In the US they cost $129 for 30 pills, that approx. $4.30 per pill.
In Canada they cost $79 for 100 pills, that's 79 CENTS per pill.
That's a difference of $3.51 per pill, and I know Canada isn't selling them at a loss!

THIS....THIS is why we need health care reform in this country!!!!
