Good to "see" you.

Gotta look cool...

It's universal, driving across Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina on secondary roads you'll see endless examples. They are typically rich people too, they have everything they have ever bought or found laying around that trailer. with a huge SuperDuty Ford/Chevrolet/Ram equivalent parked out front.

The Number:

The share of patients who appeal the denial of their health-insurance claims, out of about 850 million denials, according to an appeals company that analyzed data from nonprofit and federal sources. Patients who fight back face a daunting process, but many are successful.

I sure could go for a Reeses about now.

Alaska is also technically the easternmost state because its Aleutian Islands extend into the Eastern Hemisphere. The 180th meridian, which divides the eastern and western hemispheres, passes through the Aleutian Islands.

I love geography and cartography.

During WWII the Japanese invaded the Aleutians.

"The Japanese invaded the Aleutian Islands in June 1942, bombing Dutch Harbor and landing on Attu and Kiska. The occupation lasted until May 1943 when the United States expelled the Japanese. "

The exact opposite point on the globe from one place is called its Antipode.

Example: The Antipode of Green Bay, Wisconsin is in the Indian Ocean, southeast of Madagascar and west of Australia—nowhere near a major landmass. The closest significant land would be a remote part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, a group of islands controlled by France.

This is rather a dark one but it comes from one of my favorite sitcoms/drama series.

The theme song of M*A*S*H is entitled "Suicide Is Painless"

Loved that movie and the song, and was glad the TV show kept it, albeit in instrumental form...

A few years back my Dr said it's time to get my colon inspected. Yikes! I get it, preventive maintenance and stuff. My family doesn't have a history of colon issues so I did the easy thing... I chose not to do the probe it so my Dr set me up with a Colorguard kit. I did it with negative results.

It's time to do another (I think they want one ever 3 or 5 years?) I have another kit that he ordered for me this year and it's sitting in my bedroom. I guess I should do the $hit test and mail the samples in..

Interesting enough, Cologuard is based in Madison, Wisconsin.

Let me get this straight. I $hit in a bucket and mail the samples back to where I went to college on your dime? That kinda hits the funny bone.

Thinking outside the box. There's probably some old crap samples of mine on the shores of Lake Mendota from a drunken stumble from a bar to my apartment back in my college years. It could save Colorguard a few bucks on shipping costs.

Bucky the 95% solution is better than the 70% one. The bonus will be to cure you of being full of chit.

Toilet paper began as flat sheets, first sold in 1857.

Perforated toilet paper was patented as early as 1871, the concept of rolled and perforated TP was patented in 1883, and developed into rolls of perforated TP in 1891, by Seth Wheeler.

Once you get a clean bill of health after a colonoscopy, it’s 10 years.
Polyps (I think) get you on a 5 year plan.
My wife has UC and her dad died of colon cancer at 57, so she’s on the Every Other Year program.

The Chit in the Box is more frequent due to the effective hate at 70%.

The procedure is no big deal. The change From your daily life starting three days out is the tough part for me.
-Limited diet.
-Had to stop taking some vitamins and several supplements.
-Ridiculously inconvenient schedule for the day prior and day of the procedure.
-Having to get a ride home from someone.

They are “free” (a true good point for Obama Care). But (or is it ‘butt’) once you have a diagnosis of a condition related to the colon, it is subject to deductible and coinsurance.

And they stop being free at age 70.

With the cost of healthcare, the Cologuard is the only option for many. Maybe even Most.

The best movie ever. The Blues Brothers

"In order to get the Mayor of Chicago to let them film their musical movie, Belushi and Aykroyd offered to donate $200,000 to the city’s local orphanages."

The mall (Dixie Square Mall located in a Chicago suburb) was closed for about a year and was going to be demolished. The movie rented it out and restored many of the store fronts for the smashing scenes. The mall still stood abandoned for decades before they eventually crushed it.

The original Blues Brothers movie is high on my list of one of my favs.

“The cost in terms of human health is far too high to be fooling around with this.”

—Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, at a public meeting in Bartow, Fla., which is considering abandoning water fluoridation. He is anti-fluoride. The Sunshine State is the latest fluoride battleground; at least 23 cities and counties have removed the chemical since September. Opponents say toothpaste and mouthwash have enough fluoride and cite research that higher fluoride exposure was associated with lower IQs in children. Dentists say fluoride prevents tooth decay.

Awesome, makes me think about going back to work... POOF! That thought is gone.

Great for those working. I just hope the government never get any sort of control over that money.
