This is going to sound macabre, but I've been temporarily macabre lately.

Has anyone ever noticed that when a primitive expires live on the internet, and on Skins's island specifically, it's in a basement?  And mom is the one who discovers it?

I thought this was worth pointing out; it's happened.

I was only aware of one... there are others?

There were at least two others, that I'm vaguely aware of, as the primitives mention them from time to time, in their "I miss....." bonfires.

Apparently prehistoric primitives, from the first two or three years of Skins's island.

At the keyboard.  In the basement.  Mom found.

The next time the primitives light one of those "I miss....." bonfires, I'll be more careful about getting the primitive names.

Dear DainBramaged: I'm almost 66 years old and retired. I have severe health issues, but am still able to carry excellent health insurance with no preconditions and NO premium for the level coverage I have. The only condition is that I've qualified for Medicare for two years. Period.

Oh, I forgot to mention. My co-pays are minimal. Even a hospital visit is $100/day for up to 5 days, then the plan covers all through the YEAR.

47 million without insurance? Why? Health insurance is available to most everyone. Oh, and my mom had health insurance up until the day she died. And I never lived in her basement. In fact she lived with me and my wife the last decade + of her life, and I helped support her. I think you're projecting...

3. Are you saying Khephra the DUer has passed?

When did it become the norm to refer to a death by saying someone has "passed"?

For decades, probably centuries, the euphemism has been to say a person has "passed away".

Now, whenever I'm informed of a death, I hear that someone has "passed".

So in a situation that calls for compassion and sympathy, I can ony think of kidney stones and gas.

People do not "pass" unless the broken line is in their lane, or they scored above 70% on a test.

Hey DUmmies I work in taxpayer funded health care! Tricare is what you pay for. Long lines and it takes forever to get an appointment. It is usually a 2 hour wait to pick up medications and a referral takes forever. But it is still better than the VA and that is not saying much.
True I don't pay for my health care as that is provided for me for free because my DH is still active duty. But I would be able to afford a decent plan if it wasn't.


Oh and I am typing this in my living room with my husband sitting a few feet away. My mom is in another state.

Tri-Care was one of the worst things that Clinton did to the Military.

Good question, GOBUCKS, but I'm leaving a little 3"x3" room for the possibility that it's a regional colloquialism somewhere.

But this is not to minimize that the primitives create their own jargon, meant to exclude, as if members of a "secret club" in high school or something.

That is another predominant characteristic of the primitives, their using primitivese when they can really use honest English.  They imagine they're putting one over decent and civilized people, when in fact their "code" is easy to break, and it makes the primitives look both stupid and ugly doing it.

I got out of the active duty Army back in 89. Before I joined in 1981 I had a family doctor to go to and he has always worked the same thn as he does now. weather you have insurance or not it doesn't matter, just pay the bill when you can. I know that alot of Doctors don't do this but I 'm lucky that mine does. When I was in the Army the way they treated us then is excatly whats going to happen to people on Obamacare. Long waits and maybe if your lucky you might get motrin for your trouble.

Americans are lazy when it comes to language, hence the shortening of "passed away" to "passed".

Medicare advantage plans (that combine part B & D and are managed by a private insurer) are the same way. In fact, my HMO is starting to get that way also.

FREEPERS, do YOU have health care?

Yep, we've always had health CARE.  Amazingly enough, we had health CARE even without insurance.  It was really, really tough...NOT.  We just made monthly payments to the hospital until the bill was covered.   :o :o :o

I know it's terrible to think that you "people" might have to skip your legal-or-otherwise drugs occasionally in order to make like an adult and pay a bill or two.   ::) ::)  I suppose you'll end up getting your way eventually, and all us "FREEpers" will wind up paying for your healthcare, just like we pay for your groceries and rent.   ::)

I received health care when I had a stroke and had no insurance. I even was in ICU for five days with having no insurance.  The hospital wrote off all but $1000 of my bill.. We made payments every month for several years on the doctor bills (they wouldn't write off any if their charges) until we paid all of them off. I babysat to make extra money to help pay off the bills.  I would load up all the kids I babysat and took them all with me to my monthly doctor visits.  My doctor saw me for FREE until I got on my husbands insurance.  Which I was able to do even with a pre exhisting condition.
