8:04 am

health coverage....i have not seen that here in years,what the big companies do now is hire on a day minus one year contract,lay you off for a week and then start anew,that way they owe you nothing
8:05 am

some of the smaller places work you a day minus 3 months,fire you and hire you back as well

that is terrible, crossy...isnt there universal health coverage in Canada?

i mean a homeless man down there has a cough lets say,and of course no fancy health plan..so he avoids going to the hosp,now 3 weeks later he is coughing blood and finally goes to a free clinic..bingo! he has Tb and has infected 100,s of people while roaming around.now the expense is massive
8:20 am
crosshair
it is less expensive to get it all treated in a timely manner for everyone
8:20 am
mamabook3
yep! but that's the big picture and so many people cannot see the big picture.
8:21 am
mamabook3
and of course there is the concern for prescription drugs. under a national health plan there would be no coverage. And our pharmacuetical (sp) companies are killing us with the costs
8:22 am
crosshair
that is a problem,but we get generic drugs when we can and our doctors are generous with free samples of the expensive stuff
8:22 am
crosshair
would you rather pay 200 for those expensive meds or 30,ooo for that hip surgery?lol
8:23 am
crosshair
30,000*
8:23 am
crosshair
fix my hip please under the health pan,and i will work out the meds lol
8:24 am

Oh, but cross, 200 would be cheap! I have one med that is currently over 4000 a month. And I would be homebound without it
8:24 am
crosshair
many pharmacutical companies will work with you if you write them as well
8:24 am
crosshair
4000???!!!
8:24 am
mamabook3
we have to get our drug companies under control b4 we would be able to afford it
8:25 am
crosshair
well,rare or orphan drugs can be a big problem
8:25 am
crosshair
but then you just get supplimental blue cross coverage
8:25 am
mamabook3
crazy, huh? It's gone up over 300% in the past 4 years!
8:26 am
mamabook3
yes, that is an option. unfortunately, people think that they are entitled to certain things - and it's that "they owe me" way of thinking. Very frustrating
8:28 am
crosshair
i hope it gets worked out and obama has a plan set to go by 2014
8:30 am
mamabook3
i honestly hope so too. nothing more frustrating than watching a parent home-medicate a child for something that a dr could fix in a matter of minutes.
8:30 am

our thinking with universal coverage is more "we are all in this together" instead of "why should i pay for him"
8:31 am
crosshair
too many suffer down there,too many lose their homes or their life

if only more people would think that way! But that would mean people caring about one another. and we are way too busy to do that. (dripping with sarcasm)
8:32 am

we still wait a month or 2 to see a specialist,but we get to see them

i had a girl in my class last year that suffered all year long with recurring urinary tract infections while her parents treated her with cranberry juice, water and suppliments because they didn't have insurance and couldn't afford the office fees to see the dr.

it's easy to be angry with the parents, but when it's a choice between putting food on the table and going to the dr., it's a hard place to be.

here, mama, she could see the doctor, but without insurance, probably couldn't afford the prescription (they're not covered by provincial health plans - nor are eyeglasses, dental care....)

we suppliment our provincial health plan with blue cross(150 per month) and that covers eyes ,teeth and drugs

generic drugs and samples would have covered it. and there are lots of agencies who would have paid for the meds.
8:41 am
welki
our health systems have the potential to be good ones (i wish they were federal, instead of provincial), but folks who cannot afford supplementary insurance are in the same boat here as down in the states. for instance .. an indigent diabetic would not be able to afford testing strips or insulin

good quote from the article: One renowned health-care expert who grew up in England recently explained the difference between British and American medicine to me by saying that if he was very rich and had cancer, he would rather live in the U.S. But if he was poor and had cancer, he’d rather live in the U.K. and be guaranteed at least B-minus care.

8:47 am

that's not the way it works in bc or alberta, maryte .. there is no reciprocal coverage

indeed carlee,not perfect but not bad

as for you da welki,i do not know,maybe there are s shortage of surgeons in your area that do that sort of operation
8:49 am

unfortunately in the states, it isn't about health care and coverage, it's all about politics and money. i wish i could be more optimistic about it happening here, but i really don't think i'll see it in my lifetime
8:49 am
crosshair
yes,no losing your home cause your baby is sick
8:49 am
welki
true, carlee, but that's hard to explain to your dad, my father in law and other people who've suffered as a result of its inadequacies ... and unrealistic to portray the system as better/worse than other health care systems. they're just different

crossy, he's in victoria

my father knows better than to complain..he has spent last 10 years wintering in USA ( snowbird ) and is well awre that at thispoint in his treatment... he would die leaving his wife penniless for his treatments to live 1 year longer

Good morning all

like i say,you may have a shortage of specialists there who do that operation,for example for 5 years we only had a single obgyn for a 100 mile radius
8:51 am
welki
anyway, i don't want to bash our system, but having experienced both us and canadian health care systems, i maintain that they both have their pros and cons
8:52 am

We were in the same boat Crossy.... its the shortage of specialists that create the wait times.

that's another reason that people here are scared of national health care. there is a huge campaign (don't know exactly who is behind it) that is promoting that all of the specialists will close up shop and move to other areas, so you won't be able to find a dr to treat you
8:54 am

(yes, i understood that, crossy . .i don't know one person, family, friend or business relation, who's lost everything in the states)

The fundraising is for the family to take time off work and be with their loved one

then you admit it happens here, too?
8:55 am

well i do my dear
8:55 am

fund raisers are an every day thing here in the us - to pay for medical expenses for those without any medical insurance
8:56 am
welki
no, it's to pay the bills
8:56 am
carleekat
that is scare tactic by ins companies.... if u have a national health care system...where are they goign to practice...every country has own strict regulations about who can practise where dependent upon the school/ country you practised in
8:56 am
carleekat
they going to come to canada..and practise with same system?
8:56 am
crosshair
it can happen here welki,like i said,it is far from perfect
8:56 am

then it's pretty much the same .. and given the population differences, i'd bet that the percentages of people who suffer severe financial hardship in both countries is probably pretty close

and a family here in calgary who had to go public with requests for donations to pay for their little boy's eye surgery - in the states.
8:58 am
Maryte
Weiki...what did these people here in Canada have to pay for???
8:58 am
mamabook3
what blows me away is that the hospitals/doctors set prices. then they make deals with insurance companies to discount those prices, sometimes by as much as half, but the uninsured person who has no means of help will be expected to pay the full price! It's ridiculous!

there are certain times when this happens here as well welki,your point is taken
9:00 am
Maryte
Weiki....what exactly did they have to pay for?? I'm confused...
9:01 am
doseffing
... health care is especially great on a world standard if you can pay for it in the us ... but fewer and fewer can pay ... ... and I've heard of HMO's sending patients to India for surgery because it's cheaper for them to send covered patients to Asia than to have the surgery in the States ..
9:01 am
welki
in the little kid's case, they had to personally fund the whole magillah because the surgery was only available in the states.

in other cases, maryte, it's a matter of people getting the dianoses just fine, but not being able to afford treatment ... like insulin

I would look into that....we send our gastro-bypass surgs to Michigan because we don't do them here....it is fully covered....
9:05 am
welki
it may be that ontario has a superior system, compared to other provinces
9:05 am
welki
(maybe another reason the system should be federalized)
9:06 am
Maryte
That is the only surgery we send out...The provinces are basically the same...(except Quebec) ...I do this as part of my job....
9:06 am
Maryte
You can use your health card in another province.....
9:07 am

... not when it comes to funding chemo treatment ... I had to use up my entire severence to pay for oxalyplatin which is fully funded in BC but is too new for Ontario ... and there is a woman who has managed to cause a big political stink over funding a new treatment for pancreatic cancer that again has been fully covered in BC for several years ..

9:12 am
Maryte
Dos.... do you think you would have done better if you lived in the US?
9:14 am
doseffing
... would never have been able to pay for it ... I got laid off after my first surgery ... if I had thus lost insurance coverage ... I never would have been able to pay for the second more serious round of treatments ... ... ... as has been said ... if I had the insurance coverage ... yeah I probably would have had superior treatment ... but fewer and fewer people get that coverage
9:15 am
Maryte
It's hard Dos.....disease has no winners....
9:16 am
doseffing
... for example ... half way through the chemo I became seriously anemic ... I was getting daily shots to stimulate white blood cells ... at $4000 a week ... and a bi-weekly shot for red cells ... at $1500 each ... ... OHIP or whatever we call it now covered it ... the doctor just gave me the shots ... if I'd had to pay ... I would have had to tough it out
9:19 am

Our system is not perfect but for 'everyday' type health care it is there. The more serious and complicated cases are just that....

"Lost Lickety?" you mean the link doesn't work, or you've lost your words in the list?
10:00 am

10:13 am
dianedecoder
I just copied and pasted link again, and same message :-((
10:16 am

That's odd because that is not a link to a site, it's a link to a download.
10:19 am
dianedecoder
when I paste what you just posted, that's what comes up. I even went to Jillibus' profile and copied and pasted from there ( it's the same as you posted )
10:21 am

I'm okay with just "lickety's babble clues", but it was nice when they got put in order, without refreshing the list .... lazy huh ??

11:14 am
dianedecoder
I also still try to "force" in words from old crossword puzzle days.... e.g. odas
11:15 am

11:54 am
mrpresident

11:54 am
Krista
Yeppers...I'm pretty sure I'm in the peri-m phase. Are you naturally a lark, dawg, or does work demand it?
11:55 am
evanonut
Early starts are for work days only
11:55 am
lbdawger
just usually have to be up that early to get ready for work. a lay in would be able to sleep til 6am

he is 15kg overweight and if he would just lose the weight, he wouldn't have snoring/sleep apnea issues
12:04 pm
Krista
Well, hubby and I both have sleep apnea and have been sleeping separately for years now. It's the only way for us. My sympathies!
12:04 pm
evanonut
Prezzie, that's why I advocate separate bedrooms for couple. I think it is a big contributed to divorce statistics.

Krista
Patrick lost weight and doesn't snore now, but he still kicks all night.

Me too! I feel near-psychotic when I don't sleep for several nights. If it's just one or two, just realllly grouchy.
12:10 pm
rururocks
you should try sleeping in a different room mr p.. especially if you have a big day the next day. I understand.. mrs ru sounds like a train coming through the tunnel most nights
12:11 pm
rururocks
It's really nice to see you pop in nutty.. by the way

stidmama
I don't think the announcers are watching the same game... they get excited when it's clear nothing is happening. And say shots were "perfect" when they clearly weren't -- a perfect shot implies a goal, n' est ce pas?

4:11 pm
MollyL
Bah-dum-ching!
4:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
lol molly, if you had seen equus on broadway you would have. seen harry potter naked, not seen harry potter, naked. proper use of punctuation is key.
4:11 pm

Oh My!
4:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
he played the lead in equus with nude scene
4:12 pm

this is true. I recall that from one of the tv interviews.

The subject matter of Equus disturbs me.
4:13 pm
carleekat
hi rolin...
4:13 pm
rolin
hey stid... congrats on getting your degree
4:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
just the one to instruct on proper use of commas!
4:14 pm
rururocks
what is Equus about ?
4:14 pm
stidmama
I think if one hasn't watched the previous movies, the final movie -- or pair of movies won't make much sense. To make the movies, they changed a lot from the books, even.
4:14 pm
rolin
hey carlee... molly...its sposed to disturb
4:14 pm
stidmama
thanks rolin.
4:14 pm
stidmama
I think it's about a horse, ruru?
4:14 pm
MollyL
Ru, it's about a guy who has a sexual fascination with horses.
4:15 pm
carleekat
and confuses horse/ sex and god
4:15 pm
rolin
you should read the play ru...
4:15 pm
stidmama
okay, third overtime starting. back soonish. *poof*
4:15 pm
carleekat
but is treated more like a detective story as to the WHY
4:15 pm
rururocks
kind of an x-rated mr. ed?
4:16 pm
carleekat
third overtime? holy hannah
4:16 pm
MollyL
Exactly Ru
4:16 pm
rolin
oooh ru....no.no.no...
4:16 pm
MollyL
A horse is a horse, unless of course...
4:16 pm
rururocks
talk about bareback riding...jeez
4:16 pm

it's sudden death I think carlee -- free kicks
4:17 pm
72 Temple Owl

4:17 pm
stidmama
japan gets one. not sudden death, but total kicks in. *sigh*
4:17 pm
rururocks
I would think that when a horse says "neigh" it means no.
4:17 pm
MollyL
It's really dark Ru. The kid can't handle is sexual deviation for horses, so he goes around gouging their eyes out.
4:17 pm
72 Temple Owl

okay, tired of people talking about the disappointment of the US team -- they missed some opportunities, but at least the coach is putting a positive spin on it. And it's such a good thing for Japan to have won. Why be bitter?

Hi all. (Can't sleep!) Our school summer hol is 22nd July - 8th September, but stepdaughter has been home one study leave for weeks now, with the odd foray out to school to take exams. She's written 'Back to school :-{' on the family calendar on 8th Sept. I've added 'Heh! Peace at last!:-) LOL'. She hasn't seen that yet, since she's on hol in Wales with her Mum and her Gran.
10:50 pm
herinfernallady
I am not a fan of Holiday time.

10:52 pm

MY darling offspring, after having had all weekend to clean the birdcage was not at all pleased when I told him unequivocally that it was TIME to clean it NOW (at 9 pm with rehearsal at 8:30 am). oh well. *mama shrug*
10:56 pm
featherbee
yes, it involves anagrams! lol, sorry. chatting in between rounds.
10:56 pm
herinfernallady
But that is because you have pets.
10:57 pm
herinfernallady
I may just go off soon back to bed.
10:57 pm
stidmama

My new neighbour (the mother of the family) seemed to be having a very LOUD 'discussion' with her 13-year-old son just after 10pm this evening. I could hear them over the TV, but I had to mute it to listen. LOL.

(shocked!) lol
11:02 pm

Gwen - at least I didn't resort to putting a glass up against the wall to hear better.
11:02 pm
herinfernallady
heheh Jac
11:02 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
but that would have made such a better story lol
11:03 pm
Jacula
Gwen - yes it would! Next time they shout I will stick a glass with a mike in it up the wall, youtube it and then show you all (not) LOL.
11:04 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oh boy! lol
11:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
that should beat out all those youtube vids of monkeys washing cats, yes???
11:07 pm
Jacula
Beloved referred to the girl he had seen in the scrapman's van earlier as a 'bird' when we passed another scrapman's van on the way home from the wholesalers' and I wondered if it was the same van. 'I wonder why men refer to females as 'birds'?' said I. 'Is is because they are soft and delicate or because the twitter a lot?' Beloved grinned, knowing I couldn't hit him since he was driving and told me it was most likely the latter.
11:07 pm
herinfernallady
Because they have tits Jac
11:08 pm
Jacula
That's a theory, herin. LOL
11:09 pm
herinfernallady
But mostly it is to do with the chattering and preening woman do
11:10 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
same reason 'Murican men call 'em chicks
11:10 pm
Jacula
I should have youtubed Beloved 'shaving the pussy' (our female long-haired cat, now deceased, who refused to be groomed. Or I could have filmed him washing our male cat who once came home covered with thick mud from tail tip to shoulders - I guess he lost a fight and fell into a pond.
11:10 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
okay, speaking of changing the subject (tm) I say Harry Potter 7.2 today. yes it's super
11:10 pm
stidmama
I think it's from "chica" -- spanish for girl
11:11 pm
stidmama
we have a long heritage of spanglish
11:11 pm
stidmama
I haven't seen it yet gwen
11:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
say = saw (OY)
11:11 pm
Jacula
Herin - men think women 'chatter and preen'? Have you watched men? And, in history, men have been far more showy - think of cod pieces, wigs, etc.
11:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
uh oh stereotype alert! lol
11:13 pm
stidmama
oooh. AEB!!! (((many hugs))) how are you?
11:13 pm

stid - you're probably right about the origin being chica, but speculating is fun.

11:15 pm

Gwen - I saw Harry P & the DH pt.2 on Saturday. Excellent, yes? It stuck closely to the book and left my favourite line of Mrs. Weasley's in, 'Not my daughter, YOU BITCH!'
11:15 pm
herinfernallady
Hi Aeb I haven't seen you in an age
11:15 pm

11:19 pm
Jacula
I thought Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was a rubbish film. The book was far better.
11:19 pm
herinfernallady
O that film was trash. It was horribly done and cut to pieces. Even if you didn't read the book the film didn't make sense
11:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
sorry, but not comparing book to movie here. i find that exercise usually pretty pointless ...
11:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
took me 10 minutes to go from 9 left to 8 left. grrrrrr
11:20 pm
Jacula
Herin - but if you'd read the book, you sensed how bad the film was.
11:21 pm
stidmama
go gwen go!
11:21 pm
herinfernallady
Yes I did read the book. It was like I am going to the shop, Hang on I am at the shop with milk in my hand. How did that happen
11:21 pm
stidmama
okay, is there more than one SL word?
11:22 pm
Jacula
I was shocked when talking to my best friend on the 'phone earlier to hear that she's neither read nor watched anything 'Harry Potter'. We are best friends, who still finish one and others sentences, but we don't see one another often now.
11:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i know at least two people who are HP virgins ...
11:23 pm
Jacula
Stid - no, only one sl word.

11:41 pm

sp5/14 is the eunuch word I mentioned before. Think of a water place sp* then add an action verb.
11:42 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
so, torchwood. too violent, to much sex, too realistic, not fun, and capt jack is really annoying. (seriously, usualy sex and violence don't bother me, but on that show it does)
11:42 pm
Jacula
Gwen - yes.
11:44 pm
Jacula
Gwen - how about the Sarah-Jane Adventures? Unfortunately, the actress who played SJ died last April.
11:45 pm
herinfernallady
CLue for the LA 5 not the spoon please
11:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i liked the sarah jane adventures a lot. have the DVDs. although sometimes it did seem to aim a bit too young, but if i had to compare it to DW, it was a lot closer to the old DW than torchwood! (Yes, very sad about Ms Sladen, she was effin cool)
11:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
la5 is the spoon again, diff spelling
