Yeah. With the France one we always used to break it up, sometimes into three days. It wasn't fair on the poor dog to be on the back seat for so long. And besides, I used to buy all my clothes in France on the way down so that whether I was in London or Barcelona there was virtually NO chance of anyone having the same shirt as me :D
I dont know why but I just pictured you running around Paris in a super colorful Hawaiian shirt!:D

Wow. I lived in that county for over thirty years. I watched it go to shit right before my eyes. What a waste. Now it is a gangland dump.
That's a shame. We've had the complete opposite where we are. The local landlords gentrified a couple of bits, and the whole area followed it upwards. I'm in mixed minds about it though. It seems to all be independent coffee shops wherever you look now, and a lot of the apartments have been bought up as lets for short term rentals. I think the area has lost its sense of community as a result, even if it is safer to walk around at night than it used to be.

Hate to hear that. Insurance is such a freakin scam!

The one they had didn't say they were dropping coverage at "x" age and the new one that just started doesn't have "enough information" for the refills. Told me what happened last time and....its very bad...

Hate this...

Been better...insurance scwred over someone I'm talking to and they might be forced to go cold turkey off there meds. Worried sick that they won't get their refills in time and probably messed things up with them at the same time.

I'm use to being there or being able to solve these things...
I do hope things work out. Doctors dont really care if you are able to take the meds they prescribe, or the consequences of addiction. My mom takes enough morphin to euthanize an elephant. I dont like doctors too much, can you tell?

Here, big corporations run our hospitals and insurance companies. And they are all in bed with each other. We still cant afford insurance, even Obamacare. It sucks to not be able to go to the doctor when you need to because it cost so much.

They are on a full mix of stuff. The doctor won't even talk over the phone about helping and the only thing the doc will do is, "we have an opening in two weeks". Fraken hell.

Offered to help any way I can, but my friend refused...doesn't want my local friends thinking I'm being used again...but it hurts thinking that they will suffer and nothing I can do.

Come live over here in Europe. It's far from perfect, but healthcare at least is pretty much included.

Heres an interesting fact: It cost over $10,000 to get a colonoscopy in the usa. It cost $600 in Spain! I could get round trip airfare, a stay in a nice hotel for a month, and still get my colonoscopy, for the same price. It is bullshit!

I know. I'll take the tax raise for this to happen.

My friends 3 meds without insurance is over $1000 for all three refills...with its only about $120ish.

Yup, and that would be at one of the better Spanish hospitals too.
Our government is corrupt and in bed with all these billion dollar corporations. It really is a nightmare for those in need and don't want handouts. And being on assistance isnt as easy as the media and politicians make it out to be. Trust me I know from experience.

Two things I never mind paying more tax for is healthcare and education. At the last election I voted for a party that would have given me a big tax rise, just because they had decent policies on those two things. Without that so many other things suffer. It's a completely false saving, and people either spend their lives in genuine pain or get stuck in crappy positions as a result.

Anyway, not to rant. I guess I just wish people would put down their consumer electronics long enough to realise what society could be, that's all.

Well, in The USA, we all take the shaft while the media distracts us. Oh well.

Well Furries, I really need to feed these two teens before they start eating inanimate objects. I will be back on in an hour or so. Time to put my tunes on and bounce around the kitchen.
I will be sleeping by then, so in my best costume-drama English voice I shall bid thee goodnight :)

EDIT : which reminds me, they've been filming an actual costume-drama at the end of my street all week. Horse drawn carriages and everything. It's been great seeing (and smelling) the horses in particular. Living in the city it's sometimes too long before encountering real animals. Will try and find out what it is they're filming to let you all know.
