Not really a political post

I just want to comment on the fact that the Dems have apparently had their spines ripped out by losing a single senate seat.

1)  If the loss of that one seat was so important to passing a health care bill, why wasn't the election taken way WAY more seriously?

2) With the loss now a matter of record, it is pathetic that the Dems go scampering away from the health care bill like mice when the light's turned on because of one missing vote.  Way to stick to your guns you pansies!

A person in my position would really have liked to seen a health care bill pass..IF ONLY to prove that change can in fact happen.  Sure it will get changed again next year and probably stoned to death when the equally spineless GOP regains their power, but the fact of getting done was something important that needed to happen.

Now we will just wallow in the stagnation of 40 years of no change and extremely bad practices that are the accepted norm.

I am sick and tired of will-less, spineless whimpering fools running the country.

That is all.

Define "healthy"

My company instituted a new health monitoring plan late this year.  Some outside company does a health screening on you, and if you get a good grade you get a discount on your health insurance premiums.  Although since this is the first year, all you had to do to get the discount was participate in the health screening.

The scale of "healthy" to "why are you still breathing?" is from -20 to over 100.  -20 is a perfect score so if you get that you just have to maintain it the following years to keep your discount.

I predicted to a friend at work that although I am one of the least healthiest people I know, I would do well on this particular test.  They took our blood pressure and a blood sample, ran some labwork on it, and mailed the results.

I just got mine yesterday.

I scored a -20.
