This one is bad. It's not a 'ton' of money in the grand sense, but it's utterly gone. Now, what's worse, that they only 'helped' two people, or that they budgeted $27,500 for EACH PERSON FOR CLOTHES.

My entire wardrobe, if all bought new (it wasn't) including coats and shoes, probably costs around $1,000.
It doesn't matter. It's GOVERNMENT money, and there's plenty more where that came from.

This is what gets me every time there is one of these debates where everyone either goes left or right. It should be AMERICANS against Government. They are all untrustworthy of being responsible with our money, or making decisions in our best interests.
Strange I use to have Goverment money in my wallet.....

that's the kind of talk that makes black Suburbans with people wearing dark shades and earpieces appear on the other side of the street from your house..

we're supposed to have a confrontational relationship with our government to keep it in check and prevent it from doing things like forcing us to buy something (health insurance, for example) or violating our basic human rights by monitoring all of our electronic communications or tracking our every move with things like traffic cameras..

Meanwhile, I can't get a FCKING call back from the crunt in charge of my identity theft case, and therefore can't file my FCKING tax return for 2012, which I've had to shell out $$$ to file an extension for. Apparently she's too goddamned busy taking dancing lessons and watching E36 M3ty training videos on how to put me out of berkeleying business.
Are you listening Holder? Rice? CHOKE ON A BAG OF berkeleying D*CKS!
just came home from one of my Mom's Dr. visits .. .new medicare rules ... (this is eye exam to treat "wet" macular degeneration) they do an exam ... determine that treatment is still warranted ... prep her and give her the shot (in her eye) ... new rules ... no can do ...can't do the exam AND give the shot on the same day.
so now we get the exam, make an appointment for another day that week and come back for the shot ...it's not like I and she both have other things in our lives, berkeley you government regulators

Unfortunately that's pretty universal in the medical industry. My wife has been battling with getting a new General Practitioner. She has a specific problem she wants looked at, but she first has to make a "meet and greet" appointment, then make an appointment for diagnosis. This is with a high-end, no co-pay, PPO health plan.
this just started with the retinal specialist..
the question I have (assuming this is the new way of doing things) and I know that you're telling it as it is ...( the Dr said he's getting all kinds of info from patients about this with other specialties)
let's assume you've "turned" your ankle very badly ... you go to the ER and they do and exam and decide you've actually broken it ... the way this reads is you'd have to come back the next day to have it set ... shiny happy people
Please just let the zombie flounder threads die.

Sounds like a plan!

I'm considering taking a drink every time anyone starts talking about politics.

F*CK! I whiffed on a Zombie thread! I think that means two shots, plus a bag of dick rinds. My bad dudes. What's up with the recent, seemingly coordinated zombie attack. Is that E36 M3 outlined in "Rules for Radicals" or some E36 M3?
ZOMG, dick rinds and whiskey are two great tastes that taste great together!!!
