Greta and Bill Rock.

Greta van Susteren sat down with former President Bill Clinton to discuss his best-selling new book, Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World. In the course of the interview the President told the audience about a site where anyone can participate in financing micro-businesses in developing countries through small donations that act as seed money. The unique element of this site is that it is possible for each donor to meet the business owner through online photos and updates. Once the business has paid back the loan, the original donation is returned or can be invested in another business. Check it out. Go to www.kiva.org.

Thrive? HA!

Let me put it out on the table, here, dear reader.. Kaiser sucks. Sucks amazingly huge.. BIG time. I HATE them, yet I must have them .. they are the only affordable health care that my company offers.. HMPH.

I had/have a sore throat and believe/believed it to be strep or some sort of infection that would need the intervention of meds. SO, I called the "advice nurse" who said it is either a cold or strep.. and I would need to come in for a strep swab. SO, I went in for my throat swab, where the nurse gasped, EW! your throat is swole.. THANKS... I was then told by a lab person (You will soon understand why I say person and don't commit to a gender...OK, the person had a mustache and was wearing a peach colored blouse.. The blouse had a flouncy neck line..dare I say POOFY ......) that my results would be available in 24 hours.. RESULTS????? I didn't exactly feel comfortable with this lab person reading my test results, as he/she was obviously confused about themselves... UGH.. AND what was I suppose to do for the next 24 hours.. every time I swallowed, it was as if I was taking in razor blades.. I couldn't imagine what I would do..

I got home and got completely liquefied on NyQuil. God Love the stuff..
The next day, I got an email.. (the bastards didn't even call) to say that my test came back negative. I was confused. OK, It isn't strep, but I am still in excruciating pain.. Um, HELLO?? So, I called the advice nurse again.. I got on the phone with the witchy witch .. I explained that my test came back negative, but something must be wrong as I was still sick.. and seemed to be getting worse.. I already paid $10 for my first visit and I just wanted meds, damn it. At first she suggested I go in for the strep test.. wait, HELLO? I explained that I ALREADY did that.. then she said I should go see a doctor at the urgent care center. (another $10) hmph. I agreed as I could not handle the agony of it all anymore. When I showed up at Urgent Care at my appointment time (Doesn't that sound ridiculous?) I was told to sit and wait. ok. They called me in once and took my vitals, but then sat me out in the waiting room again for at least 30 minutes. (why make mo fo appointments?? ) They finally called me in the exam room.. where i sat for another 45 minutes.. I was seriously going to lay on the bed and go to sleep.. I was more then pissed. as soon as the dude came in,
I explained to him that my throat culture came back negative ("Yes, I saw that on your chart..") blah blah blah blah.. I told the whole story.. As soon as I was done he peaked in my ears, my throat (the culture lady looked farther) and said he thinks it is a cold, but if it would make me feel better I could take a test for Strep.. HUH? Um, Doctor?? I told you, and you indicated that you read that I already had that test.. He laughed.. hahaha overworked.. Blah blah blah .. he gave me a prescription for Flonase.. and sent me on my way?? ALLERGY MEDS? I was so beyond pissed.. I wasted 10.00 and a bunch of my time.. and this loser didn't even give me the time of day..

HMPH.. In my haste, I found http://justendeal.com/blog/ .. a blogger dedicated to the evils of kaiser.. love justendeal hate kaiser- they are sons of bitches.

I MUST be insane....

I love you, Pam. RIP

.........& then there is Mo

(or shall I say Dorothy.. Hey, where is To To?)

Where has the time gone?

Seriously...

This little baby monkey was abandoned by his mom .. and this bird became the foster mom...

birds rock

ALTHOUGH.. I seem to remember flying SCARY ASS monkAs in the wizard of oz.. Maybe this bird is like an Alqaeda bird.. and he is recruiting the poor lil monkey ...

Um, thongs?

The purple sateeeeeen blouse is weird..

mental note:HUGE feet..


(thank goodness he has at least one more pair.. I am sick of those bloody brown suede boots!)

My dorkiness continues to flourish

And even though Chris Cester's girlfriend denied my friendship request (It was possibly the creepy pic of me and Nic as my avistar).. She did reply to my email..

Hello Old friend,

Next weekend, my sister and I are DRIVING to LA to see the Dynamo POUNCE the Galaxy. We initially were gung ho about going to see Beckham play. We know he is injured, but would like to know if he will be on the bench. The drool factor would still be at a premium!

Much Love,

Peace out.

He will not be on the bench, he will be in the stadium.

Please don’t be offended if I cannot wish your team well.. For, if its one thing I know, I hate LA.

Made up of 50% piss / 50% vinegar

Well, I sent Pa the email .. and weeks went by without a reply. I was a little pissed, but found out he was traveling (hmph) and he doesn't check his email on the road..
A week or so ago, I knew he was home because I started to get the annoying CHAIN emails that he insists on forwarding .. They are more often then not crap about how wonderful Bush is.. Now lest you believe Pa is a free wheeling sexual beast, he is referring to the Bush of the ass variety ..not the muff!!! Anyways, as the days went by I became increasingly irritated that my Pa didn't even consider responding to my email.. I got nothing.. I ended up writing the most scathing letter about how sorry I was that I didn't own horses or live on tropical islands like other family members.. and if he just gave me the time of day he might find my company valuable.. Just as I was about to send the email, my computer crashed.. Just as well, I thought.. It was late and I needed to go to sleep. The VERY next day I got an email from Pa.. acknowledging my letter with some stupid quip about winning the lotto or some thing... God must know how close I am to teetering off the edge ..and being completely disowned.. But you know, who cares, F him anyways.

If he says no, F him too.

So Pa Pa,

Did you get to my email? You know the one about needing to use you for cheap rent? It would be incredibly wonderful for you to come through for me in this situation. I have been a relatively good kid.. quiet grandkid.. Now its my turn to holler and scream.

to recap: property down here you can let me use or could you buy me a house/townhouse/condo/ (gulp)mobile home ..

I figure you are going to outlive us all.. so, I would appreciate my inheritance now.. when I could really use it.

Much love,
Meggers
