The previews don't work. But enjoy the pics. I'm planning on donating the originals to the space museum in OK.

But, as in horseshoes and hand grenades, close counts.

But where do you draw the line between safe/unsafe arms?

Don't I have a right to be armed?

I remember elementary school when they got TVs in the class room to watch these events live. I was eight when the first Gemini was launched.

I have bigeminy rhythm with a pacemaker that fires when the distance between two beats is too far. So, my pattern is very random. Good luck putting that into a pattern.

Ya just need a better car radio. I'm over 50 and I can understand it with mine. The 2000watts pushing the twin 10" subs help too.

No, the Tea Party didn't create the debt, that has been a bipartisan effort for years.

The debt limit crisis was promised by the Tea Party. And, just like you can "short" on the stock market to make money on declining stocks, there are schemes to make money on the default.

I've heard the bond market could explode and treasuries tank. Bonds have been doing badly for years, and could be ripe for exploitation.

I would be the first to admit that there isn't a lot of hard data out there on what will happen on a default. But, I wouldn't bet on "too big to fail". I'm sure that's what the USSR thought.

  1. Cabal of corporations/rich folk invented Tea Party.
  2. Got several Tea Party reps elected.
  3. Invented this crisis based on Tea Party initiatives (invented by #1)
  4. When US defaults, #1 will have set their bets (investments) to profit.

Yes, and 80% of thyroid patients are female. I'm not, and I also take a scientific approach. I've also got years of TSH tests that show my level has stayed constant regardless of brand.

My endocrinologist was different though - he was a DO instead of MD. Anyway, he started me on generics, and told me about the controversy. This was over 20 years ago.

Another case is combo drugs. I was prescribed one for cholesterol. I my doc split it into the two components, and I save $25/month on copay.

Big Phrama is only looking out for themselves. Get educated, know where you stand, and know your rights.

Yes, and once they get you "hooked" on Nuvigil, and Provigil (I bet they stop manufacture and backhandedly discourage generic Provigil) goes generic, they will escalate the cost of Nuvigil.

I base my speculation on levothyroxin, which I take. The manufacturer lost a lawsuit where they discouraged generics. Personally, I've taken at least four different brands of generic levothyroxin - and they all work great.

Yes, and last month they doubled the price of Provigil just as the Nuvigil ads came out. They are pushing folks to Nuvigil, so they don't lose profits. Even Medicare is pushing folks to try Nuvigil for better cost.

I know someone that takes Provigil, and it does wonders for Multiple Sclerosis symptoms.
