No idea, it was too windy last weekend and I have to wait for the weekend again to try again as it gets dark here at 4:30, so no luck flying it in the evening after work.

Check out my sweet new ride :p

I got it as an early birthday gift.

I wish I could go back to school, but I don't qualify for student loans anymore because I pretty much stretched those out as much as I could and I can't afford to otherwise in the near future.

On the plus side I have alot of time to think about what I really should be going back to school for to get in a comfortable position where I make enough to get by on one job and somewhat enjoy what I'm doing (loving what I'm doing would be great but I can compromise :p )

Or you could go to school and then get a job in what you actully trained for but discovering that the average pay for said job might be slightly over minimum wage. So you wasted 4 years and 30,000 bucks to make slightly more than at friggen McDonalds or LESS than at a call center.

AND THEN you realize that in a year with the minimum wage increases your province is planning what you're making now will be minumum wage and some kid right out of highschool will be making the same or more than you.

And it's not even just for me, it's most secondary graduates who experience this issue in my province as well.

I love garfunfel and oates :p

I beat up kids like that.

St. John's :p


You have more money saved up in the past year than I make in a year

I'm not a fan of government health care because the US government screws too many things up. I'm not a fan of private health care because large corporations screw too many things up. I want them to put all the drugs on the shelf at wal-greens, and then I google what I need, and buy it cheap, and doctors (when I need one) should be like tailors. Just go down to the store, and talk to someone who knows what they're doing.

I spent 3 hours the other day trying to just get a friggin' bottle of antibiotics for a sinus infection. I'd had the whole slew of symptoms, knew exactly what it is, and thought "I need a week or so of amoxicillian" but I had to go to an "urgent care clinic" because I work night shift, so normal doctors stop at 5pm, so I would've had to wait for my weekend, another 4 days. After filling out way too much info, I finally get a doctor to see me, and she looks at all the stuff I could already tell her (this ear hurts, this one doesn't... no cough, lymph nodes were swollen but aren't now, etc.) and she basically checks all the exact same things I'd just told her, then finally prescribes 10 days of amoxicillian. I then had to go wait at the pharmacy for over an hour for them just to count out 20 pills. All said and done, insurance paid half of it, so I ended up "only" paying $55 for what should've cost the same as a bottle of aspirin.

So yeah, sure... not all things are just an ear infection. Sometimes I need skilled professionals to reattach my lung or something. And yeah, we should maybe keep the opiates locked up so people don't all turn into dope fiends. On the whole though, let me take care of myself. If I'm stupid enough to buy and use the wrong drugs, that's my problem. I'm not though, I know what I'm doing for the most part, and when I don't, I know to ask for help or seek out a professional. If we could operate health care with that level of common sense, we'd save trillions. Of course, we can't even convince people to stop smoking and skip the value-size fries.

If it makes you feel any better I have spent no less than 7 hours waitng in an ER.

How long on Average are E.R wait time where you live? I've always wondered if the wait times here are so long because nobody has to pay for anything. Also the wait lists for things like transplants or major surgeries are very very long, but I attribute that with low doner rates and the fact that alot of our Doctors and Nurses leave the country for more money (In Newfoundland anyway, not sure about the rest of Canada).

crap, where else am I gonna get my Oxy.

I find it kind of funny that they're still airing his life insurance commercial.

I demand a recount!

ha.ha I'm just kidding, I only drink 7 dollar drinks with a minimum of 3 shots and STEAMED MILK ONLY

THIS IS A PIECE I DID ON THE OBSERVATION OF THE INTERNET. THIS CLEARLY SHOWS MY MAD SKILLS AS A GRAPHIC ARTIST SO I CAN TOTALLY BE A DICK ABOUT IT WHILE I'M DRINKING 5 DOLLAR DRINKS WHILE HOVERING OVER MY MAC BOOK PRO AT MY LOCAL DOUCHEBAG HANGOUT AKA TOOL DEPOSITORY (aka local too cool for you coffee shop)

I have, it was the movie we saw for our weekly moving outing :p.

I thought it was a wonderful movie. Definitely worth watching.
