Is it me or do buffalo wings taste like chicken? mrgreen

The medical system is really good in some areas. For instance if you are in a really low income bracket. All the provinces are different too. So some provinces have more benefits than other. Because of our lack of population, there aren't near the medical facilities that are in the States. We have no private hospitals though so all our hospital expenses are paid for. But then depending on where you live there are long wait lists for surgeries.
So there are pros and cons. We've talked about going back to the states as we are still U.S. citizens but at our age we are much better covered here as our ins. premiums are minimal and we pay nothing for doctors or hospitals and a small % of our drug costs.

Slept like a log last night. Thanks. Don't let those meetings tire you out. Save your energy for more important things. wink

haha, sassy, loved the funny!

I want to travel, I want to get out of town, I want to NOT go into work today *sigh* Somedays are just off to a bad start. Hopefully, it will go by quickly and I can come home and sleep.

I love that it's staying light longer so much smile It makes me feel warmer, even if it isn't. And no more walking through dark parking lots.

Hi every, Ditzi I hope tomorrow is better for you.

I like it being lighter too. I tell you this week just feels better. Of course we've had really decent weather so that helps.

Everyone have a good Friday. In a minute I gotta get a load of laundry and then get to bed as I am tired.

We are going to see Horton hears a who tomorrow evening. Saturday is girl scout swimming. And a make up basketball game in the evening.

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

The man said, "I do, Father."

The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."

Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.

"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."

The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"

O'Toole said, "Oh, when ! I die, yes; I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

Hello all, sorry I've not popped in for a bit I think I'm catching a HUGE case of spring fever. Spent yesterday cleaning and walking around outside because it's been so warm. I've have my front door open all day to let some air in and am debating on whether or not I should take the plastic down from the windows so I can open all my windows too and air my house out, but I forgot to turn the heat back on last night and woke up freezing my bootie off this morning, lol. Read some of another book last night while sitting on the front steps and watching the girls jump on the trampoline. Funniest thing when a beetle wound up on it with them, they are girly girls and hate bugs and it's a wonder someone didn't call the cops with all the screaming going on.


Pat, That trip sounds like a lot of work but fun and interesting as well. Make sure when you drive or fly past WV you wave at me while you're passing, lol. As to what I read, I read those sordid, steamy romance novels. I'm a huge fiction/romance fan. I have even attempted to write them before but never can sit still long enough to do it. In case for some strange reason ya'll haven't noticed, I'm pretty flighty, I can't seem to make myself concentrate on one thing at a time and bounce around doing all kinds of stuff at once and then wind up finishing nothing in the process. Which reminds me I need to make some to do lists for this spring cleaning I'm itching to do. I want to rip down all the old wallpaper, plaster cracks and paint. I want to rip out all the carpet and put down lenoleum, fix my floors.. most of this needs money though. I just hate to get started and then boom another big snowstorm or something hits. It is MARCH though, I don't know what the crazy weather is going to do. It's been so warm the past couple days...
*sigh* Oh and I think him calling you in the morning is a good thing and not co Dependant, I think he really likes you and missed you yesterday, nothing wrong with that and I think it's kinda sweet too. Of course, all these romance novels I've been reading and I'm a HOPEless romantic at heart, always have been.

Dominique, good luck getting that job! I'll be crossing my fingers for you.

Ick, shirley, that's a lot of money. A friend and I were talking not long ago about how dentists complain when you show up and have bad teeth and get all grumpy with asking why you waited so long. People wouldn't wait so long if they didn't charge an arm and a leg, lol. Oh and if you move back to the states, WV is nice this time of year. *grin* I wouldn't leave that insurance either though because even with the down sides, some insurance is better than NO insurance.

Sassy, (shirley) LOL! I think it's just you. *giggle* Kaylee said the exact same thing once and was serious as a heart attack when she said it too... she was like 6 the first time we got them and she was chowing down on them and LOVED them and told me after she'd eaten a few, "Mom, I didn't think I'd like this buffalo but it tastes just like chicken!"

LOL@ the father Murphy joke as well.

Salacassera, I love the longer days too. I can't wait for the day that spring finally SPRINGS, lol.

Oh and we are going to be having some cupcakes along with cake at Kaylee's Birthday party.... the 16th (day of the party) is Chris' Aunt Suzy's birthday and the 17th is my mom's birthday and Kaylee's is the 18th... I need to go shopping for cards and such today or tomorrow, don't know for sure.. OH and the guy working on our truck promised me we'd have it done friday or saturday. See, I knew my dad would take care of it. *grin* He's already got it the motor in and is connecting all the wires and such.

I'm not going out with sweetiepie.
I'm not going out of town.
I've already gone out of my mind (probably have a little way to go so I checked this one.)
Went through the change surgically a looong time ago.

Nothing wrong with Wayne calling in the morning. He's just a sweetiepie. What's so wrong with co-dependent anyway? Bruce and I don't ever want to live without each other. He was just gone for a day with his friend and I missed him.

All sounds good Mendi. We have a lot of spring birthdays too. Just stocked up on cards yesterday. So glad they're finally going to get your truck done. That's so cute about the buffalo wings. Since you have all that energy you can come here and spring clean when the kids get through tearing up the bathroom and making a mess all over the house. I'm putting mine off until then. Besides it's snowing this morning so took my spring fever away.
