A doctor visit shouldn't cost too much for something like a co-pay.
Mine only charges something like $30 or something.
You can always have them send the bill - or work out a payment plan.

As for medications - ask if he can give you free sample packets to treat it - doctor's have lots of free samples to give away.
Or if he gives you a prescription - ask for generic drugs, that will save money.

Casey Anthony is absolutely screwed to the wall.

I know, I couldn't sleep again last night, so I spent the morning watching it live from like 3am hawaii time. Been keeping track on and off through the day via CNN.com and such.

Yep.

Looks like I'm having more trouble with my sciatic nerve (I think, anyway...). This was unbearable the last time it happened, only this time I don't have insurance.

you probably already know this but calamine lotion is supposed to help with the itchng. Also don't wear the clothes you wore when you got it. A relative of my fiance got poison ivy on her legs and then on her arms and then it appeared on her face. Don't mean to freak you out but get it taken care of.

FranklinTard · 07-03-2011, 08:57 PM

yea lotions just suck though, you have to suck the moisture out of the rash, most lotions help with the itch but not with the drying out. oatmeal apparently works, but jewel weed is pretty killer.

still dominating my body. went from the legs to the chest. probably go to medi-help on wednesday or something. steroids normally clear them up... not sure how much they cost though. shouldn't be a big deal, just sucks.

Tolkien · 07-03-2011, 09:23 PM

Sounds pretty bad. Hope it goes away soon, dude.

Ramplate · 07-04-2011, 09:54 AM

Dysfunctional family or not, I don't see any way around the death penalty for Casey Anthony. I know she's more likely to get Life, but there are things I can't get around.

If it was an accidental overdose by chloroform because Casey wanted her quiet to visit the boyfriend - that is still aggravated child abuse resulting in death = death penalty

If she wanted the kid to shut up and put duct tape over her mouth too tight and she accidentally died as a result - that is still aggravated child abuse resulting in death = death penalty

The duct tape - no one puts duct tape on a child's mouth living or dead - there is no reason for that.
No one duct tapes a child and double bags them and tosses them in the woods - there is no reason.
Accidental injuries, accidental drownings = are called into 911 100% of the time because there still may be a chance to save the victim.
Deaths from natural causes are reported 100% of the time.

She lied time after time after time, partied with her boyfriend and at the bar without ever mentioning it to anyone. For 31 days until her mother found her and forced her to say something. And that something was another bunch of lies to family and police - even when given opportunities to tell someone it was an accident - or whatever the truth was.

That shows purpose and intent and nothing else.

No way around it.

anyone want to offer a Rebuttal?

EDIT - not sure if aggravated child abuse would be a death sentence alone, the the crimes also fit aggravated manslaughter.

Yeah they didn't all sign on the same day either.
A few of the signatures are of representatives who were not even in government until years later - they used to ask to sign it, but they stopped that practice after a while.

Is this code? What ARE you guys talking about.

If you don't know, we can't tell you.

Ramplate · 07-04-2011, 04:58 PM

And that also works in reverse order

We can't tell you, if you don't know.

But it doesn't work backwards

It's been a bad week so far, and it's only Tuesday.

1) Fell sick on Monday.
2) An uneaten piece of garlic bread fell on the ground while I was having lunch at the office.
3) Went to the bathroom and finished my business before finding out that the cubicle ran out of toilet paper.
4) Injured my toe because I ran it into the edge of the bed. Now my nail is black, and it feels like it is going to fall off anytime soon. I can't walk properly at all.
5) My girlfriend is leaving the country for her studies in Australia tonight.

Carcharodon · 07-05-2011, 02:23 AM

Given how far up our ass China is with respect to our debt situation...does anybody else find it just a little funny that we traditionally celebrate our independence with a Chinese invention?

5 second rule!

Tolkien · 07-05-2011, 05:17 AM

Didn't they do that 5 second rule in a high school cafeteria once and found it to still be eatible?

Remember watching in on CBS once. It was 20/20, now I remember.

My boss found a new job and handed in her 2 week notice yesterday. Now her job, the one I'm sorta voluntarily training for, is up for grabs... Hmmm...

On Wed when I'm back in I'll need to talk to her boss and see what he says.
