Lucky you...we seem to be forever doing stuff around the house...the most interesting thing to happen today was a big hornet somehow got into the house...it was the size of a large eagle..ok a sparrow..maybe a little smaller than a sparrow..but bigger than any I've ever seen before...that'll teach me to live by a Nuclear power plant.........

It is, and I like your attitude to life

It took me to be burgalised during all this in the UK, to test that theory...the only thing I was really upset over (apart from our landlord and lack of security..no new locks after it and still waiting on our deposit :curse was my engagement ring and wedding ring was stolen

Then your very lucky.

I know people who have lost loved ones' because their "good" medical insurance wasn't good enough to cover the cost of treatments...it's not very nice.

then that's what the legal system is here for!

people sue for getting asked to leave a CVS in this country, sue the insurance company if your not happy!

but believe me there are enough hungry attorneys here that would piss themselves for an insurance litigation like you mentioned a thousand times.

y'all need to grow some balls if you wanna survive in the wild west! this aint no effing nanny state like tony's socialist state, thank god!

i'm glad i am now a US citizen not some fairy UK queens subject that has to rely on the dole/social security for my family. the only folk i hear bitching about health insurance everyday are whinging poms and expat wanna go home cry baby's or brits that never made it in the US and have to bitch whilst on the dole in the UK.

the queen can lick my balls.
