Writer's Block: Health Care

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Given that I can't afford either health care or the work provided insurance at the moment...

Seriously. When I quit smoking in January, I realized the money saved would allow me to buy in to Derby's insurance. Problem being that since January, prices have inflated to a point where I'm just as bad off as when I was still smoking. So, I'm left with the option of getting insurance that has a deductable so high it isn't worth getting or racking up ER bills every time something severe or chronic enough gets through my tolerance levels.

So, to answer the actual question, health care is a right to me, but one that must be used responsibly. In other words, It's not a right I'm inclined to use for something I'd consider minor.

Mooo. Or should that be Baaa?

Ended up watching Night 1 of Dancing With the Stars last night, which probably lowered my IQ a few points.

However, I think all of us are allowed at least one opportunity to be proles in regards to lowest common denominator entertainment on occasion. Thus why some of the smartest folks I know watch Survivor.

I'm kind of mad I have to work tonight, so I'll miss elimination, but there's a third night wednesday for me to enjoy.

I'm kind of rooting for 3 underdogs at the moment, as well as Warren Sapp. I wish I was as lithe as he is.

-Lance Bass. (He's gay, he's cute. He also sances like a white band on Soul Train.)

-Susan Lucci. (C'mon, how can you NOT root for Erica Kane?)

- Cloris Leachman. (Frau Blucher! *whinny* Seriously though. I know she's in the Jerry Springer role of old person there for entertainment value alone, but I love her anyway.)

Any rate, there's my admission of sheeplehood. Anyone else enjoying this TV version of cotton candy?
