Do you know where it was done? I didn’t recognize the building » Posted By Mightywoof On February 11, 2011 @ 4:31 pm That was Funny with a capital F!! » Posted By Mightywoof On February 11, 2011 @ 7:16 am OMG Cher – I would love to spend just one day inside your mind 😆 …….. I love the Planet – nowhere else on this cyber-earth would I meet people who think so far outside the box. I’ll never be able to watch that movie again without booing Glinda » Posted By Mightywoof On February 11, 2011 @ 7:07 am ‘Tis a virtue so I’ve been told!! I think we’re all over on the Egypt thread if you’re interested in joining us!! » Posted By Mightywoof On February 10, 2011 @ 9:52 am Yeah – it is Pacific time but it’s off by ½ hour – it’s been reported to Adlib and I think it’s on his very, very long to-do list 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On February 10, 2011 @ 9:43 am Brevity is the soul of wit!! » Posted By Mightywoof On February 10, 2011 @ 8:12 am What a beautiful pic – is that going to be the Planet’s new logo? Good choice » Posted By Mightywoof On February 10, 2011 @ 8:06 am That is so hypnotic – I had to stop watching the rails or I’d go into a trance never to be heard from again (which may be a good thing 🙂 ) – Chopin GOOD!! » Posted By Mightywoof On February 10, 2011 @ 8:05 am OMG – that’s classic Bito *thumbs up* » Posted By Mightywoof On February 10, 2011 @ 8:01 am you must have been reading my mind, Boomer – I always think of AdLib as the Wizard of Oz 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On February 6, 2011 @ 7:25 am It would be so nice to think that this is the beginning of the end of her career as a meddlesome troublemaker! Dare we hope that Beck et al are going the same way? » Posted By Mightywoof On February 6, 2011 @ 4:24 am I just want to say a really HUGE thankyou Adlib – whatever you have been doing behind the curtain has made the Planet as fast as greased lightning – which I really do appreciate! The page loading had become so painfully slow that I got frustrated waiting to go from post to post. You’re DA MAN *thumbs up emoticon thingy here* » Posted By Mightywoof On February 6, 2011 @ 4:21 am My biggest fear is the day I don’t stop myself putting the kettle in the big metal box-thingy – I may start to drool sufficiently that day for the little men to come and take me away 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On February 4, 2011 @ 5:03 am Adding my good thoughts for your brother Javaz …… I cannot imagine how it must feel to think of losing your brother – I only have one brother and I would be devastated. I’m sending good thoughts your way as well – nobody punishes us worse than we do ourselves at times like this. Be good to yourself and heed Nurse Kes’ words of wisdom, my friend » Posted By Mightywoof On January 28, 2011 @ 5:47 pm Good grief! Living north of the line we are mostly shielded from this kind of tripe – what a load of cobblers 🙄 . Is this kind of talk common down there? » Posted By Mightywoof On January 26, 2011 @ 9:45 am oh ….. and no guns within 1000 feet of me – I am a peace loving socialist after all 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 23, 2011 @ 2:51 pm Only if you offer really good health care Bito *giggle* » Posted By Mightywoof On January 23, 2011 @ 2:49 pm I finally, with much trepidation, took the Civics Quiz, Bito *excuse me while I pat my own back* – I got 87.88% or 29 out of 33. The Planet is sooo good for my intellect 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 23, 2011 @ 2:28 pm The last line made me larf out loud 😆 SP needn’t bother building a wall on the Canadian border – I suspect that most Canadians would be out with their backhoes trying to separate themselves from the North American continent wondering all the while why we had such crazy neighbours move in!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 23, 2011 @ 1:43 pm How many States have to sign onto this before the Amendment becomes law? It’s been many, many years since a Constitional Amendment was tried – back in the 70’s if I recall correctly – ERA?? If this is the only way to shut down this egregious SC decision then y’all better get lobbying your State Legislatures!! Yaaay for Vermont! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 23, 2011 @ 1:35 pm Yeah – I know, Pepe …… and said Premier of Newfoundland was criticized by a lot of people for doing that. Although my understanding is that he was advised to do so by his heart specialist …..
the operation is not available in Newfoundland and the decision to go south of the border was made after weeks of consultation with his doctors National Post, Feb. 2, 2010 this procedure (mitral valve repair) is available elsewhere in Canada …. It’s more than that, though: Canadian cardiac surgeons happen to be renowned for their expertise in valve repair. It was two Canadian physicians who wrote the how-to paper on valve surgery published only late last year in the New England Journal of Medicine. There are famous surgeons like Toronto’s Dr. Tirone David, who’s been called a “virtuoso” valve man. Minimally invasive procedures, the style of surgery Williams chose, are offered in Canada in places like the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. McClean.ca, Feb.23, 2010 Danny Williams’ decision seems to have come down to a question of which kind of mitral valve repair to have done – open chest surgery rather than small incision endoscopic surgery. The small incision surgery is done here but not recommended. So I guess the weather in Florida won out over winter in Ontario – not the state of the nation’s health care system!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 23, 2011 @ 1:26 pm I’d forgotten about the snowbirds, as we call them. The Provinces (Ontario anyway) used to cover all out of country emergency medical expenses for Canadians but started tightening up the rules a few years ago, the same way they only pre-approve certain out-of-country procedures (if it can’t be done here or in a timely manner). But if you’re average Johnny Canuck – you get excellent health care in a very timely manner with great outcomes; and, yes, we all understand it’s not free 🙄 and, yes, we all understand that our tax money gets thrown into a large pot and medical services are paid from the pot – oh heavens above, Socialism *snark* 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 23, 2011 @ 12:55 pm Dear Dog – if I hear that ‘why do so many Canadians come to America for their health care’ meme one more time I shall reach through the ‘puter screen and start shrieking in their damned ears 🙄 We have a private health care system up herea – the docs are self-employed, the hospitals are usually community owned and operated or PPP (public/private partnership) built – it is funded by Province health dollars and they are also given federal funds to help out as long as they adhere to minimum health and coverage standards. They DO NOT mandate which doctor you can go to, what tests you may have or what surgeries you may have. If I have cancer then any and all tests, asurgery, chemo, radiation and after care is paid for 100% and we never see a bill. If I want to have a boob job – I pay 100%; if I need an eye exam and new glasses between 18-65 I pay for it myself unless I have private insurance. Arrrrg – when will these rw’s research before flapping their gums!! Canadians do not flock over the border seeking to bankrupt themselves with American health care – those who choose to cross over have probably been given a grim prognosis by their docs – their docs have absolutely NO incentive to continue further treatment options in the case of terminal illness (they will not be sued and they won’t line their pockets at the expense of proper patient care) – they actually do what is best for their patients and if that’s hospice care then that’s what they will advise. If you don’t like the prognosis you are free to seek a second or third opinion and if you don’t like that then you are free to seek bankruptcy south of the border. Others that choose to go south are probably impatient *-holes who want to jump to the head of the line for non-urgent care. Good luck to them – if they have any after-care problems then that’s on their own heads. Sorry to go off on a rant but every now and then I just see red about this canard!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 23, 2011 @ 11:07 am Flipping through the channels late last night I found his show on RT (Russian Television) but I can’t make head nor tail of there website in trying to find out where it’s broadcast in the States. http://rt.com/programs/big-picture/ Edit: Here’s a list of stations where he can be found – sorry Bito, Arizona’s not on the list http://www.thomhartmann.com/tv/stations » Posted By Mightywoof On January 18, 2011 @ 4:53 am biblical proof that the NT sees that animals have souls. This is such a silly thing for a non believer to say but I find that strangely comforting May I add my voice to the chorus of “I’ve missed you – welcome back”? » Posted By Mightywoof On December 17, 2010 @ 5:40 pm As an atheist I have to say that this personifies everything that any religion should be about!! *echoing Khirad* …. perfect. » Posted By Mightywoof On December 17, 2010 @ 5:25 pm I have avoided this conversation as I belong to the same club as you Javaz and I think you are so courageous to have spoken from your heart on this issue. I come from a family that is hefty – really really hefty. I can show you a pic of my great, great grandmother in 1896 and she’s the size of a house. I guess I can honestly claim that genetics are against my family but our eating habits did not help. I am the child of a mother who wouldn’t let me leave the table until I had cleaned my plate – growing up in the UK that meant a huge adult-sized portion full of potatoes, meat and soggy veggies. To this day I find I cannot leave a morsel of food on my plate (the Jesuits had nothing on my Mum when it came to imprinting impressionable young minds). While I never suffered the excrutiating humiliation of fat jokes, I did decide at 9 years old that I wanted to be a ballet dancer and, while not yet fat, I was a chubby 9 year old. All the exercise helped keep me relatively thin but the day I was told I’d never be a dancer (I was about 14 at the time) because I had the wrong body shape – short and mediterranean – was the day I was crushed and started the yo-yoing. I hardly ate a thing, lettuce leaves were my new best friend and still I had the wrong body shape. Depression set in – not clinical depression but that sense of why bother, nothing I would ever do would make any difference. I kept yo-yoing until I was about 35, losing more and more self-esteem and going deeper into that shell that most fatties develop. So I stopped trying – I’m now 63 and ‘grandmotherly’ – I don’t feel good about this and I don’t join in discussions about weight because those who have never been where you and I have been do not seem to understand. This isn’t a slam against all my dear, and fortunate, Planeteers – who have either been born with good genes or have had the intestinal fortitude to recognize early enough how destructive your eating habits were and to have done something about it ……… but there is far more to the overweight epidemic than simply not treating one’s body as a temple. BTW – this is one of the reasons I decided not to have children – the bad genes/bad habits stop with me! » Posted By Mightywoof On December 17, 2010 @ 7:04 am Friday Music — Deck the Halls with Ho-Ho-Ho!! 6/8 rhythm will do that to you 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On December 17, 2010 @ 5:17 pmComments Posted By Mightywoof
