43. I have a good health insurance plan…and for that I am grateful, because a lot of people do without…..one very annoying thing I have come to wonder about is….why my insurance plan can bargain down the prices for some things…..saying all we will or are allowed to pay is 85 percent of that charge….and the Doctor then discounts the procedure…..because I don’t have to make the difference up out of my own pocket…..So someone with no insurance gets to pay full price…...hmmmmmmmm…..just wondering about the fairness and logic of this…..because I see none…..at all…..

42. Absinthe…...don’t know anything about it…...other than the great thing it caused to happen…...It’s illegal here…..WTF??...It’s illegal in a lot of places….I want to try it…..suggestions??....Honest officer…..just kidding…....put the Handcuffs away.....What’s up with it…...Come on….send me a bottle….

January 29, 2006 is the first day of the new year. I will be observing the celebration firsthand this year

It is Year 4702 by Chinese calendar

Chinese New Year also known as the Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It consists of a period of celebrations, starting on New Year’s Day, celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, i.e. the day of the second new moon after the day on which the winter solstice occurs, unless there is an intercalary eleventh or twelfth month in the lead-up to the New Year—in such a case, the New Year falls on the day of the third new moon after the solstice. (The next time this occurs is in 2033.) The Chinese New Year period ends with the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the month.

40. I’m not really understanding any of this logic.if you could call it that….Of when Pat Robertson speaks…things like this come out…So many times in the last 2 years…remarks like this have been made….Ariel Sharon is 77, maybe it’s just his time…or he has a health problem….why does it have to be some “Judgement”?....And how would Robertson know??....Here is another one of his comments.truly a pious man of god….(August 29 following host Pat Robertson’s call on August 22 for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez:)

Evangelist links Israeli leader’s stroke to ‘dividing God’s land’

Robertson suggests God smote Sharon

(CNN)—Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Robertson opposed.

“He was dividing God’s land, and I would say, ‘Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the [European Union], the United Nations or the United States of America,’” Robertson told viewers of his long-running television show, “The 700 Club.”

“God says, ‘This land belongs to me, and you’d better leave it alone,’” he said.

Robertson’s show airs on the ABC Family cable network and claims about 1 million viewers daily.

Sharon, 77, clung to life in a Jerusalem hospital Thursday after surgery to treat a severe stroke, his doctors said.

39. The intolerance and lack of flexibility of many religions of the world…..The theory..that if you don’t believe exactly as we say and do…well, you’re going to hell, we will kill you, women have been removed as the symbol of our belief and a masculine diety has been substituted, we hate gay people…...I could go on and on…....but I’ve said enough
