OMG what a great episode! Wow. Wow. Wow. I just loved it. Although i was
confused during the first scene. I had no idea what was happening. But how
cool that some of the other people on the plane survived. How cool that locke
came back from the dead. How completely crazy that ben was the one who
killed john. And then seeing ben at the end lying there. Wow! I just found this
show so interesting. And watching charles widmore be so nice was confusing.
He has always come across as evil. Can't wait for next week.fdljkdfjkldfkljdfkjlkjl

I don't want to go back and change my post cause it might be confusing for those who have already read it. But I got confused between 2 people. The Matt (who i was afraid might have gotten in to top 12 and who got tons of publicity is Matt Breitzke). He is the bearded bald guy. The matt who actually might have the 3rd most votes is actually the other Matt, Matt Giraud. He got no publicity. So that would be pretty amazing if he got through.

We heard about our new benefits package yesterday. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth. We're going from a strict co-pay based system to one where we have to upfront the complete cost of the office visit or prescription and then submit to get reimbursed.

But, as I keep telling myself, we're lucky to still have jobs! And insurance at all!

Are you saying YOU have to submit the bills to your insurance company? Usually the doctor's office does & then bills you for the difference.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #102 on:** February 26, 2009, 10:39:36 AM »

I like the co-pay system, too. But as DR DAW wrote.....we are fortunate to have ANYTHING!

MBArnum, did you see this in Sunday's PARADE

Iraqis who've left home don't know when—or if—they'll return.

Quote

Where Can Iraqis Go?

IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, insurgent militias in Iraq have targeted specific citizens because of their religion or ethnicity—or because of their association with Americans. One such threatened Iraqi was Rafi, 27, a Baghdad engineer who had assisted the U.S. military with setting up phone networks.

"As a Christian who helped the U.S., I was dead," he says. "They told my father, 'Give us your son, or we're going to burn all of you.'" In early 2007, after one of his neighbors was kidnapped and killed and he was threatened with the same fate, Rafi and his family left for Syria in the middle of the night.

They joined more than 4 million other Iraqis—about one in six of the country's pre-war population—who have fled, creating the biggest refugee crisis of the past decade. More than half of the refugees moved to safer areas within Iraq; a small number of those people live in makeshift camps. Two million Iraqis have left the country entirely. About 1.2 million are in Syria, half a million are in Jordan, and tens of thousands have ended up in Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, and Turkey, according to the most recent numbers from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
...
Some families fear that Iraq may never be safe enough, so the UNHCR is recommending that they resettle in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the United States. In 2008, the U.S. admitted some 13,000 Iraqis through its official refugee program. This year, the U.S. has pledged to accept 17,000. But advocates say that number is far too small—by comparison, in an eight-month period in 1975, the U.S. took in 131,000 Vietnamese. "We're only scratching the surface of all of the Iraqis still living there in danger because of their American associations," says the IRC's Carey.

It does seem that we are not doing our part.

I know you'll find this unbelievable, but, yes, it is snowing in Portland.

Good news: no leaky, leaky (not even Louis) after moss removal despite heavy rains last night.

We are alternating between rain & wet snow, nothing sticking.

Does this mean you can wait to do the new roof?

I had not seen that Der Brucer, thanks for posting it. There are a lot of Iraqi's who have left and are living in tent camps waiting for a place to allow them to settle. Most of those who have or need to leave are the educated, which is leaving Iraq in quite a mess as a country trying to regroup.

Which is a major concern - experience should have taught us that refugee camps rapidly become incubators for extremists. If these refugees recognize there is little hope of their returning and that their future lies in assimilating into a new society, the path to resettlement would be eased.

More to the point is the Pottery Barn Rule: We broke it - we own it!
Any Iraqi who emigrated because his safety was in jeopardy because of his support of the US Military should have an instant claim of US Asylum.

Picking-up 100,000 refugees willing and ready to become self-sufficient should be a relatively uncomplicated task - it just takes the will.

I had the special, which was grouper, baby carrots, and fennel.
