Hospitals will always work with you on bills. They will let you pay over time without interest. It’s just the running away and not even making an attempt that will run you into collections.

I’m actually very interested in Canada’s health care system. I’ve heard it also has its problem however. Sometimes long waits and you can’t always have the specialist you want. However, EVERYONE gets medical aid and a much greater focus is placed on preventative health care issues. Instead of let's wait till the damage is done and then start you in on chronic care management.

Did they check his blood sugar? You want to rule out Type 1

Exactly. You beat me to it. Also if a pregnant woman comes into the ER or any seriously injured person, a hospital will not refuse admittance based on inability to pay.

I would agree with Funch. I am losing my patience with them. If they have a legitimate concern, then they can hit "report post". Then once the moderators realize its just them being ridiculous, they can deal with it. He is not breaking any rules in posting this thread. Besides, since when does the term "faith" only apply to Catholics or Christians?

It was a case of the "reverse-conversion."

Mormons are funny. We get those around here. They show up in those white shirts and black ties. The nice thing about Pagans is they DONT proselytize as a rule. They actually have a prohibition on it. When was the last time you were woken up at 9am Saturday morning by proselytizing Wiccans?

Well that aspect of it sometimes confuses me. Are they always forced to wear it or only sometimes forced to wear it. Sometimes you see them wear the long cloak but they just have their hair covered but not their entire face. Other times they have the full garb and face mask. It would appear very oppressive. I have a hard time listening to the ratonalizations for it.

I understand that people need to own cells sometimes for their jobs or family. I’m just saying I personally don’t like them. I feel like we never had them before but now suddenly it’s the norm.

It seems to not think very highly of men. It implies that men are so out of control and easily stimulated visually that women have to cover themselves from head to foot. Geez.

Yeah we kind of covered all that if you scroll up. Its primarily recessive genetic disorders. You are just increasing the likelihood of the visible symptomatic form of the disease to show up in subsequent generations.

The only advantage I could see to the burka is genuinely you wouldn’t need to shower or worry about your hair or anything. Just throw on your black tarp that covers you down to the ankles.

Well I know I HATE talking on the phone. It hurts my ear and I just despise it in general. I’m not one of those people that can "shoot the breeze" for hours on end and I don’t possess the "gift of gab." When I call people, (even family) it’s for a succinct reason. In fact, I wouldn’t even buy a cell phone and eventually a friend bought me one of those camera ones last Christmas and she had to take it out of the box for me because I refused to look at it. So some people just don’t like it.

Could not have stated this with any greater degree of clarity. I won’t even bother. It’s ludicrous. I hope some heads roll.

Sweet.

It is believed to be Lucy. You can not magically pull viable DNA from skeletal remains that are thought to be 3.2 million yeas old. That would have been the transition right there. There are a number of traits in the A afarensis skeleton which strongly reflect bipedalism. In overall anatomy, the pelvis is far more human-like than ape-like. The iliac blades are short and wide. Fossils indicate bipedalism around 5 to 8 million years ago, in the same general period where genetic studies suggest the lineage of chimpanzees and humans diverged. It adds up, Eljay. You can’t make unrealistic demands like harvesting DNA from bones this ancient.

Why is it that you expect these paleontologists and researchers in this field to jump through flaming hoops when all you require is faith and you keep raising the bar each time they show a little more credible evidence.

You don’t strike me as the metro sexual type waterloo. Although I think those are supposed to be fastidious, yet hetero.

You probably need to ask your OBGYN now about this or whoever you physician is. Will your insurance cover an epidural even if you want it? It might be expensive.

With Deb? Oh wait, Im not a Lesbian. I just made a point of stating that.
