In Reply to: Michael Moore - Passin by
very very eye-opening and it's truly laugh-out-loud funny, not terribly *political* in the sense that 911 movie was.....but REALLY really funny, interesting, and eye opening to say the least - best 2 hours I've had of late......
oh, it was 4:30 in the afternoon and the theater was full - I was surprised actually...and full of people of all ages, denominations, cultures, red state-blue state, et al.....all having an interest in what is going on here regarding healthcare.
TRULY not to be missed by all except children (who would get bored)!!
Leave your politics at home and go see Moore's best yet.....this is a human issue.......this particular movie.....

sicko
Not to me either - MM is a sicko himself and I wouldn't believe anything he says. Did you see where he went with this? Definitely not to a reliable source, so why bother to watch? Definitely don't want to see it or anything else he spews. I thought of putting an icon on here, but there is no icon that is gagging, so I'm out of luck. !
Re: SICKO - smsg
 So has anyone seen the movie "Sicko" yet? Did you like it? Hate it? Find out anything new you didn't know about the health care industry? Do you think it'll open the public's eyes a little bit? Any particular part youy considered really shocking, etc.?
did anybody that saw SiCKO feel
France, Great Britan, Canada or Cuba even? Our system is barbaric here. I was amazed those Americans could walk into a CUBAN hospital and get such excellent care. Everyone says it is impossible here to have health care like they do but the answer is simple- stop providing money for needless wars and there will be money for the country's citizens. I really think the whole go into debt for your education theory is true...they don't WANT us to get ahead. Once again, Michael Moore is a genius.
The whole story is just sicko.......sm
I am not going to watch either, it makes me nauseous; they are all lunatics, including BW.
Lately she is so interested in sexual stuff, she makes herself ridiculous.
SICKO-the movie
Has anyone ever seen the movie SICKO? It is made by Michale Moore, who does all those documentary films. I usually don't like him, but if you watch this movie it will make you made. It made me cry. It is a movie about our nation's health care. It like totally blew me away and made me angry about the health care in this country. My company does offer health care, but even if I can make the line count to get it I still have to pay about $150 plus if I need medicine they may or may not cover it. It shows that plan about universal healthcare, which I thought was a bad thing, actually is very good. People in Canada, England, and France pay absolutely nothing. IN fact if I break my arm in Paris the hospital won't even charge me and I would be an American. WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
Sicko to nurse a kid until they go to school,
poor kid.....
Re: SICKO, the healthcare mess, etc.
Interesting video on YouTube - this guy says it simply & eloquently. He wants people to send him videos on the subject - anyone out there in MT with a PC-cam could certainly get the word out on the offshoring-of-medical-records to a HUGE audience in this way. Here's a link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8NDs4YuLXE
Poor fella...he must've just seen Sicko.
It's sure how I felt after watching that....
I know how it is...sometimes rather loud...sm.
but I do love when the boyz come by, pick up the guitars and we just rock the house!  Cat

OH man, we are loud . . .
I came from a family of 8 children and my voices carries even at a whisper. It doens't help that I think transcription is making me deaf so I can't hear myself talk. I wish I could be quieter, I just have these big lungs and this big voice and it seems like we talk at a high roar all of the time. My husband and I were just talking about that this morning. We went out to eat last night and I found myself hushing my children and looking at the people around us staring at us as we had a very "normal, lively" dinner conversation!!!! YIKES.
Adult photos are legal. FBI stepped in because the sicko had pics of a minor.

Post from main board ie Michael Moore movie Sicko
I have NO desire to see this movie, and I believe that it is just perpetuating and promoting what is going on in this county -- I recently suffered a broken leg and went to THE "county hospital, i.e., Jackson Memorial, in Miami/Dade County -- the ONLY reason that I even went there was because of the fact that my significant other did not understand that with my insurance through CHAMPUS that I could be seen at any or all hospitals in the Miami area -- as a side note, the ONLY time that I have been "turned down" is at a Kaiser facility as far as being seen as a CHAMPUS patient.
CHAMPUS is the major insurance carrier that serves our military and their familes once the service member is honorably discharged, retires from active duty or dies in active combat or retired.
What I endured at Jackson was little short of HORRENDOUS and I believe that if any of us were to be seen at a major medical facility, we would soon find this out.
Jackson Memorial is 1500 beds -- I was initially seen in their "Extreme Care" section -- I got there at 11:30 a.m. and was finally out of there at 11:30 p.m. In the meantime, I walked down to their radiology department because the ignoramous P.A. did not put me in a wheelchair or crutches after I told him that the ankle area had been bruised for a week even after I wrapped it, Epsom salts, ice packs etc -- guess their attitude was "oh well" -- sure enough, it was a fracture -- they lost my records and with my second appointment it was from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to be seen in their "Trauma Clinic" -- no docs, just residents,but tell you what, if you are of Hispanic descent, or poor -- BOY do you get preferential treatment -- needless to say, I am still in pain, with swelling, can't wear a shoe after the cast being off a week, and cannot get results -- I called the ER a bit ago and told them that I was going to be seen at a real hospital and that they could take their treatment and stick it
Bottom line is that patient care has TRULY gone down the toilet, whether it be a nurse, doctor or ANY kind of healthcare professional.
Laughing Out Loud.

Laughed out loud sm
When I was in high school I workd at a Dairy Queen and we got soooo sick of people saying they wanted their order to go while at the drive-thru. One night (it was winter so we were quite slow) we were bored and decided to ask every customer if they wanted their order to go. We thought is was hysterical but some of the customers failed to see the humor. Not only a lot of sarcastic responses, but a couple of customers used a few words I can't repeat, which made it even funnier to us.
one meaning LOL=laughing out loud.....
Felt same way, but laughed out loud when
she grabbed her one ankle and put her hand behind her head...she was really funny but not a dance for a competition!
For crying out loud people...
it is a TV show. If most of you put the time and energy you spend here being moral police and put it to some good use in the world, think of the things you could accomplish! Sounds like there are a bunch of insecure women out there. Face it, there are beautiful women on this earth and every man looks at them, no matter how whipped and controlled he is. It is nature, men are visual creatures. Face it, would your man rather look at a pretty woman all dressed up or someone in sweats who does not care about her appearance? Good luck trying to keep your man under lock and key... a perfect way to lose them!
We are all in the same field - just get along for crying out loud!
Why such a division? The bottom line is that we all just want to communicate with people in the same field of work. This does not give anyone the right to slam the "other board" or certain people. Sounds like some of you just need to get a life.
i actually laughed out loud when i read that...
because it sounds so much like something I could do but i try to use a little bit of self control
buy a very loud outdoor dog that will not shut up???

Mine does that weird loud crying
when she has her toy mouse- but it doesn't even have to be her mouse, it could be a milk jug lid thingy, but she walks around the house with it in her mouth and crying- it is the most mournful sound, I hate it. It makes me wonder if she thinks it is one of her babies?
She is the funniest cat. Her favorite thing to eat is french fries, and she chows the whole thing down. My other cat loves yogurt and you cannot eat yogurt in peace in my home.
Okay, I have actucally laughed out loud today. Thanks! nm
!
I agree with that along with loud obnoxious ring tones.
Oh for crying out loud! Drink some warm milk and
ajd;d
Laughing out loud just thinking of Herman Munster. nm
!
LOL! OMG! I laughed out loud for the 1st time on this site - ever! hahahaha nm
nm
laughing out loud or lots of love depending on the context.

Learn to cuss out the speed dictators in my mind and not out loud..... nm

Anybody see the movie Sicko yet? Important movie!

I just got this new Dog yesterday
I just got this new Dog yesterday. She is so cute and good but is not trained yet. How do I get the dog to go to the door to let me know she needs to go potty? She is a sweet and very mild girl, gets along well with the cats and hardly barks. We only had two minor accidents yesterday. I could really use some tips. Thanks in advance.
Just yesterday my mom
and I were discussing dryer troubles. Her quit working, she had a repair man take a look at it. He vaccumed out all the lint and it cost her $150.00. Then 3 weeks later, it quit working again. Next time I will tell her to call you.
Went to the ER yesterday and they
said it was probably just a viral infection. She is just in the bed sleeping on and off. She don't want to play or do anything else. She don't have an appetite. She has been drinking pretty good though. Popsicles is a good idea also. I'll try that also. Again, thanks so much for the advice. It is definitely appreciated.
-43 yesterday in ND nm

You should have been here yesterday
I live probably what is considered North Georgia but 19 miles south of Atlanta. The living is good where I am and the weather, about 60 yesterday and supposedly the same today. Our winters here usually mild, this year we have gotten down to the teens once or twice but nothing you probably see all the time. I wish we did not have tornados warnings here, scared of those. The weather in the summer can be HOT and humid normally. I would much rather have this than what I see with all that snow and ice. I only remember 2 times since the 80s of what you might term blizzard or icy conditions and even those gone in a few days.
yesterday's
performances, I would rather say that Danny will be voted off. Chris was really good last night and Adam will be the winner, he is just in another league.
Scheduled yesterday but....
I was also out of work, no big problem with me. I am talking about being looked at as professional, not cleaning, cooking, taking care of babies, on and on when you do have work. Posts are written about how to fit other things in while they work?? I think most of us from time to time run out of work, myself included.
Ballet - we went yesterday and...sm
she loves it, of course! They close the door and you don't get to watch, but you can hear them singing. I guess they'll start learning steps for their recital in June now. Dh is having a fit over what the costume "might cost." I just read the letter when I got home about paying the rest of the costume (gave deposit of $55). The cost for the class is $54 every six weeks. Does that seem good? Does anyone know what the costume could cost? I'll probably just call the teacher and ask, but why not state it in the letter? Is it something they don't even know yet? I'm very new to this ballet stuff so not sure.
I saw a little doggie yesterday in a car
as I pulled up to get out and looked and would have called the police, alone in the vehicle at a flea market but what saved the owner was they had the window down. The weather here was in the high 50s and climbing but I would not hesitate if the windows had been up.
It has been on MSNBC since yesterday.
I'm on the West coast and just heard about it last night.
It was clearly an accident and now she has a criminal record over it.
Yesterday I was at the mall and a
guy was walking along talking to a young girl. He rounded the corner and I was coming toward them. He stopped his conversation with her and said loudly to me,
You're pretty . . then went back to his conversation with her! LOL! She did not seem upset at all. Her brother? a friend?
Question. . jerk or just a darn nice guy? LOL
She was also on Oprah yesterday
singing with Kelly Clarkson and Justin Limberlake, promoting her Duets with Rebba, I think that is what it is called, album. Think I will buy it. She is great. Also loved the sitcom, especially her with her ex and Barbara Jean. Very funny.
Someone already posted this yesterday
NM
we had flurries yesterday....
none today...I am not excited about winter even though it is a beautiful season. I just hate below 0 weather and scraping ice off of my car.
3.14-3.16 a gallon yesterday x

Just wanted to thank you for your help yesterday. SM
It honestly has helped. When you said don't think of the whole amount to start with, and losing a little is more than gaining has really helped. All the comments I received were so nice and so many people can identify with this problem. So far I am doing good. Wish me luck and thanks again!
My cat with lymphoma from yesterday.
I just wanted to thank all of you again for your kinds words to help me get through a very difficult time yesterday. My little girl is gone. She went very peacefully and fast. She is now resting in my garden with a couple of garden statues to keep her company. Her name was Sixer, as she had 6 toes on her left foot. We got her from a shelter 10 years ago and we knew she was the one. I wanted to get a female cat so that I would not be the only girl in the house. She was the little girl I never had.
I had a very difficult morning today. It still feels so strange to not have her walking around the house. Very lonely without her, especially working at home. The sun is shining again today, and I know she is in a better place. My tears will subside and my heart won't be so empty some day, but right now not so much.
Again, my sincere thanks for being so kind.
Me too!! Saw it yesterday and thought the same!
It looks like they're acting!
I envy all of you. Our gas is $2.34 yesterday. PA
Live in a small town, but 11 miles away in another county, it was $1.48 last week. The GS around here are ripping us off and there's not a thing we can do about it.
