Reality check.. Many, if not most, Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Many who do not, assume that everyone else is like them. For someone living paycheck to paycheck, perhaps with kids etc, paying for health insurance that would only cover part of catastrophic medical bills would at first result in debt, then deep debt, and then life long debt if a catastrophic medical issue arose - even if they had the crappy insurance that is offered to them. You guys need to get to know some working class folks and get out of you cubicles. Most anyone can figure out how to make 10 bucks an hour under the table doing something not too difficult. That is an extra 25 hours of work a month. Fuck, that's about what I volunteer.

I put in a 26 yo male and got 92 bucks a month. Not bad.

that page doesn't return the stats you are looking at. However, I assume it is for individual health insurance. I think we're talking about employer coverage--not personal. Just imagine what it costs a pregnant woman to get coverage! Oy Vey!

Cute kid Kev. But your hands look kinda girly. Makes me wonder if you even climb. This is a *climbing* board, you know! That is the cutest fucking kid I've ever seen! What a sweetiepie!

Rawr. I'll see you boys up there around five. Can't wait to see the new bike!!!

No kidding. I wasn't sure what the "deep debt" from a mere 250/mo was. If that much would really put you into debt, that means you don't really have anything anyway and the state will cover your costs if you cut your leg off and have to go to the emergancy room.

Anyone ever done it? How expanding does the expanding flake get?

What are you bitching about? You already won, Cutie.

I'll take one as well, thanks.

I feel healthy and strong. I haven't lost weight, but I have certainly put on some muscle. I feel better and I feel better about myself. This thread/contest has been a good place to find encouragement!

coming up this evening...

yeah, back when the teams were good and face masks were not obligatory. Goalies pads looked like they fit onto a human being and the wings still went out to a reasonable angle.

I love you all so much that I would be willing to force each and every one of you to do exactly as you wish.

I don't know what to think about lawyers that prosecute people using laws that were not intended for the offenses those folks commit. Is it okay just like it is okay to prescribe medicine for an off-label reason? Or does it dilute or twist that law until it no longer has the impact that it once did? I think of the RICO laws and how they have helped the prosecution of bad folks who were able to get away with stuff until that law; but then, is that really fair?

Turd terrorism.

I am a little confused as to the premise of the study. We, as climbers, certainly have the same makeup of the rest of the population when it comes to mental/emotional traumas and whatnot. So, what is it that makes you assume that we have better coping mechanisms than the rest of society? Being able to hoist yer ass up a rock doesn't mean you've learned how to succeed in relationships, grow as an individual, or become more sympathetic to others any more than if you had never climbed at all. I don't get it.

The immunologist's name is Skip Virgin. Perfect.

slug.

I have Rats too. I think that's the name of that movie about Willard living at his mom's house (the remake of course). There is something unnerving about him. The character he played in Charlies Angels was perfect. He kinda turns me on with those freaky eyes and flat affect. I like it.

it is both of those things for both of these topics

Well, I've tried her baked beans and I can vouch that they are orgasmic.

he is a douchebag. This is the "culture of life"?

I just bought that movie. I remember the first time seeing it and thinking it was the perfect example of growing up in the eighties.

one outta two ain't bad.
