What a crappy deal Pack. My concern is did you drop the server?

Nope.. not even close.

My discontent is really with the insurance companies and our health care costs overall.. it is just freaking nuts how much it costs to me to try to keep earning my own way without help from Uncle Sam.

And the thing is, all these companies and hospitals that make these devices know you have no where to turn. It is complete and utter bullshit.

TELL me about it!!!
I just got one of the bills from my "physical therapy". They are charging my insurance $225 per session! Now......thats 3 times a week, for $675 a week. I have been going for over 10 weeks now. Almost 7 grand!!!
Geez...........and I do ALL the work! The only thing the nurses do is check my blood sugar before and after my workout, and have me wired up to watch my heart. (I put the leads on, and take them off)
Geez.......for $225 an hour, i SHOULD get a prime rib dinner, and a massage!!!
Helth care.......like it costs them THAT much. Plus, there are 3 other people in my session.......we're getting ripped off!!!

Good luck, Pack.

The thing is, even in 2009, I feel like when it comes to anything related to health and medicine, we're all guinea pigs.

I'm sure they've come a long way in artificial limb technologies since you lost your leg, but still have a long way to go as well. Hopefully the next one will have that "bug" fixed (but there will probably be another bug that's almost as annoying unfortunately).

Urgh. I sympathize with your frustration. I was on steroids not too long ago for my treatment for something you don't want to know about, especially if you're eating. Like I said, we're guinea pigs. Took forever to heal, even with steroids.

And that will be just as true in 2099 as it is in 2009. :D

Sometimes it makes me shudder when I think of all the things I did to people when I was first learning. I was literally learning on human bodies. And my patients were so . . . patient about it all. I don't think I would be half so gracious as they were.

But they do say doctors always make the worst patients. I think we get on the back side of the scalpel precisely because we're so terrified of the business end.

I have a couple of them laying in the spare parts box.. but to be fair those are from years ago.. maybe it is time to look at their new technologies.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
