Daily musings

Does anyone know what Barack Obama stands for besides "Change"? I have no idea what he wants to do besides move into the White House. I wonder what that would do to the property values on Pennsylvania Avenue...

I haven't seen Al Gore on the news in a couple months. Maybe he's snowed in.

GuyK reminds us that congress is having hearings over the baseball steroid scandal. Is this important enough to waste our tax dollars on? Well maybe if they are busy doing shit like this they have less time to pass stupid laws.

Some lady called me on the phone today saying she was a nurse who worked through my insurance company and she needed to discuss my medical history and personal health habits.

I told her first of all "I don't know who the fuck you are and secondly I don't discuss my personal information with anyone but my doctor." She started sputtering.. "but sir this is program to help us improve your health management.." I told her that I manage just fine and hung up the phone. Who the hell do these people think they are?

Here's a word of advice...be careful buying health supplements over the internet. I had researched some medicinal herbs and decided to order some. They sent me the herbs I ordered plus 100 Viagra that I didn't order or pay for. I noticed the return adddress was Bombay India. So I put the blue pills up on a shelf over a year ago and forgot about them.

Yesterday I got a call from a guy with a heavy Indian accent asking me how I liked the Viagra. I started yelling at the guy telling him I didn't take any fucking Viagra and never to call my number again. He hung up on me before I could disparage his ancestors. Then I remembered the pills up on the shelf. Oh well.

I wonder how long is a sufficient amount of time to go through 100 Viagras...

I would be VERY leery of taking any pill that I didn't ask for that came in the mail from India. Hell, I'd also be leery of throwing them away for fear of getting slapped with some kind of pollution fine. Just send them anonymously to the DEA - I'm sure that they know how to handle them.

Seems like a change platform is good enough for most folks since they are falling for it.

Does anyone remember what a platform was?

Would have been my reaction too.

We're so slammed with telemarketers and such that when someone calls to "better the system" we're so freaking aggravated that we attack them. Still, I think its just wrong for companies and organizations to call people at home for ANYTHING, unless of course its your doctor or child's school.

I usually just ignore the phone unless the caller ID shows a number I recognize. If it's someone who truly needs to talk to me, they'll leave a message.

You have to be careful about hanging up on the insurance company nurses....I have BC/BS and they can drop me or refuse to cover me if I develop certain problems (diabetes, high blood pressure, certain eye disorders, etc.) if I neglect to talk to the nurses from the "Wellness program" every 6 months. I don't know what your insurance policy says, but BC/BS is one of he leaders in the industry and if they can do it, I am sure others can. :)

I think if you unscramble Barack Obama you get "Ok, am Arab cab" which means his experience is driving cabs in the Middle East.

Obama alleges he will eliminate tax cuts for corporations that take their business overseas and he will reform healthcare. Its a shame Huckabee isn't doing better, he says he'll eliminate the IRS. That's a cause I can get behind. Blogger is eating my comments, so I'm trying anonymous.

did you have to pay for the Viagra or did your health plan pay for it? That's bizarre.

I won't even answer the phone when I see a number I don't know.

Telemarketers always sound like they want to do you a favor and when you say, "just mail me the information," they mail you a bill instead. I'm through being nice to strangers.

Did you say you got Viagra from India?? That's scary.

Viagra from India? It is Hard to remember sometimes when you shelve an idea like that. And in this ERection year, "I think Barak Obama stands ONLY for his mamma" when she walks up to the dinner table so he can pull out the chair for her.

DO NOT dispose of the Viagra in your toilet- they will make their way into a local water supply and you will end up with Hard water! And we all know what a bitch it is trying to get "that tiny, stuck in you're butt hair soap" off, after a shower with Hard water!

As always....call me if you need me....

I can tell you that projected annual spending for Obama's proposals is $286.999 BILLION

McCain? $7 BILLION Huckabee?
$54 BILLION

Considering our econnomy is TANKING, I say let's go for the 286.999 BILLION in spending!

ROFL re Viagra! Good choice not taking them too.

I wish those spammers who don't speak English would stop volunteering Viagra type services--I don't have one of those thingies!

I love how you yelled at the guy from india. Sprint (from india) kept calling us wanting us to "get a free cell phone with our account" We don't use sprint.

We kept telling them to take us off their list. My husband got so mad he got a supervisor and told him to take us off the list, Supervisor said he couldn't do that. My husband lost it and started cussing him out. They then called every 5 minutes for an hour.

I e-mailed sprint told them if they called me again, I was going to sue their company. I could get the phone records supeaned for harassment. They told me that I need to provide my sprint account number and they would fix it.

My e-mail back was.

I DO NOT HAVE A FUCKING SPRINT ACCOUNT, NOR WILL I EVER NOW, MAKE IT STOP TONIGHT OR I WILL SUE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

I haven't gotten another call since. hehehehe

Our bank manager kept calling for a while asking for our last 3 years income tax assessments in order to "serve you better". I told her that since we haven't applied for a loan, that information was none of her business. Furthermore a competitor gave us a loan without us supplying the info.

They used to say birth control pills were good for cloning plants. I wonder what Viagra would do.

omg - that is SO presumptuous and insulting for them to call and discuss your private matters with you. Assholes. We'd all be better off if we just socked away the cash we spend on insurance (and the cash the government confiscates from us for same). *fume*

Hammer,

I tell ya, it doesn't look good on the political front at all. Hilary came into San Antonio last night and in my opinion, told us what we wanted to hear.

That's a great story on the Viagra by the way!

I have read quite a lot of posts about the upcoming elections...and for the most part have remained quiet...as the "uneducated about american politics" Canadian that I am...

but I feel the need to say one thing...that Obama guy scares me...real bad...

Guess we will see...

I don't think I'd trust any medicine that comes from that region. Or anywhere outside the US for that matter.

Hell, even with the FDA in place, I don't trust all the medicine that comes from the US.

Good choice shelving that shit Hammer.

As far as Obama, google "Patriot Corporation Act" and see what's under that rock... Essentially it's an Act that proposes to join corporations at the Hip of Mother Government, an idea most famously implemented to get the trains running on time in '1930's Germany and Italy...

Love it. Flyin' off the handle is so cathartic.

Did you see where Obama voted to stop the government from eavsdropping on people OUTSIDE the country, and voted to punnish telecom companies who cooperate with the governmevt. Cris Dod was drivin' that one. It went down in flames. Lets hope his campain does too.

Oh, and great point about Obama. Liberals tend to be malcontents. So the word "change" appeals to them.

Barack stands for flowers, unicorns and strawberry scented welfare checks, what else? I'm just gonna hold my nose, vote for McCain and hope he lives up to his promise to build the wall.
