I want to puke every time I hear about how the world is ending and global warming is the worst threat to mankind. Apparently the dNeero folks think it's accepted science based on their latest survey questions. Sheesh. I *had* to pick an answer for one of the questions even though I haven't done a damn thing to live green. I refuse. All the hype makes me want to do things that are specifically ANTI-green. I just get rebellious that way. Doesn't matter the topic...if someone tells me I *have* to live a certain way I get my hackles up.
The enviro-wackos are nothing more than a bunch of socialist communist power grabbers who want to control the way we live.
They can have my incandescent light bulbs when they pry them from my cold dead hands. I've been stocking up before they aren't available any longer. *sigh*
The weather channel founder is trying to fight 'them' but is considered a kook.
It's insane!!!
One more survey...music oriented.

Not All HMOs Suck
With the nightmare that was my Sunday, I had to spend a couple of hours in Urgent Care at Group Health.
I've been a member for as long as I can remember...ever since I stopped seeing my pediatrician (which I did under protest...I hate change). And while not every doctor has been wonderful, the majority have done a good job.
And I'm not completely healthy. I've had to go in for a few urgent things as well as routine check ups and my psychological issues. There are some hoops of course, but there will always be hoops no matter what kind of health insurance someone has.
The latest example of my amazement with Group Health comes with my recent injury. It was a Sunday morning and there were a few folks in front of us, but I don't think we waited in the waiting room more than 20 minutes. We were first seen by the nurse who washed out the wound before sending the doctor in.
The nice thing about GH is that they have quite a few PA (Physician Assistants) and most are very capable. This guy was amazing. He was incredibly thorough ... checking to make sure there was no breakage or tendon damage. He took his time and didn't rush through.
He decided not to put stitches in yet and to give the wound time to calm down a bit...the swelling was pretty bad and so was the bleeding. So he made an appointment with me to come in Tuesday morning at 8:15.
This is a really odd thing let me tell you. Here is an Urgent Care doc, who is only coming in on Tuesday for a meeting, but who wants a patient to come in and see him before his meeting.
On Monday he even called me to check and see how the wound was and whether I'd be coming in on Tuesday. Of course, I was, and I did. He was there in street clothes...only there for the meeting and to check out my wound.
That kind of service is not something we can look forward to if Obamanation implements nationalized health care. We're more likely to see care like that of this poor little girl who starves after having her teeth pulled. Or the many other cases of patients dying for lack of proper care and follow up that we've seen in Canada and Europe.
I appreciate the care that I've received so far with my HMO and I'd really appreciate it if the government would stay the fuck out of my life and my healthcare.
Thanksokaybyebye.

Survey Sites That Pay
I love surveys...as you may have figured out with all my DNeero surveys I post here. I just feel the need to give people my opinion...whether they want it or not. Which may explain this blog. =) But getting PAID to give my opinion? Well, that is just cream cheese frosting on my chocolate fudge cake.
It can be difficult to confirm which survey sites are legitimate and which are nothing but spam and address collecting scams. HotCouponWorld has gone and done a wonderful thing for all of us survey lovers by reviewing and posting 19 different legitimate survey programs that are legitimate, pay out as promised, have little to no spam, and are a good way to earn a little extra cash.
And just as a note...I did just get a $20+ payment from DNeero into my Paypal account. *Happy Dance* (Yes, it took me over 6 months ... but it was painless "work" for $20) So I know for a fact that these sites can and do generate some cash or pay out (I've also gotten free shampoo from another survey site in the past).
One suggestion...if you do sign up for survey programs, create a special e-mail address just for taking the surveys. This can help you keep track of your survey opportunities separately from your regular mail.
Happy Survey-ing.

Yesterday, Today, and Always
On my way to work, listening to Kirby Wilbur, the discussion of patriotism came up. Remember when GW was president and you couldn't question anyone's patriotism if they "dissented"?
Kirby played a sound bite from some youth who were interviewed about how Obama's presidency will change their lives.
Most blathered on about how they're going to do more volunteering and paying more attention to politics. Some morons talked about using less electricity or buying a hybrid car.
Then the interviewer asked them if they wouldn't have done those things if McCain had been elected.
A few said they would, but most of them said no.
Really?!? So, because "your" guy won the election you're going to participate in society. But if he had lost you were going to pout and sit it out?
It's like the people who now feel like flying the flag, when they hadn't for the last 8 years. I think these people are hypocrites. We flew our flag when Clinton was in office. Hubby didn't exactly love the guy. But it didn't matter.
These people seemed to think that because Bush was in office, they were no longer "real" Americans. Or that it wasn't cool to be proud of their country.
But now that we have the "One" who is going to solve Global Warming, buy us all homes, and give us all hope ... it's okay to be proud of America again.
There's even a ridiculous group called Born Again American.
Those people can suck it. They're idiots who wouldn't know real patriotism if it bit them on the ass. What are they going to do if the next President doesn't share their opinions? Are they going to say they're Dead Again Americans?
I am an American. Proud to be! No matter who is president. I think our current POTUS is a big headed, arrogant, jerk wad. But I am still proud of this country and would never want to live anywhere else on this entire planet.
That is true patriotism. Not the fair weather patriotism that so many liberals seem to have.

Life Sucks
I've had a very bad two days...hence no blogging.
You can read about the hell that has been my life on my Home Zookeeper blog. Feel free to hate me. I do right now.

Saving Money with Organic Grocery Deals
I'm not a *huge* organic shopper. There are several items that I buy that are considered organic, including my milk. It lasts longer and tastes better.
Otherwise, I will only buy the organic products if I can find a good deal.
Luckily there is the Organic Grocery Deals forum.
The purpose of the forum is not to judge you for not being 100% granola crunching, gaia loving, green. The point is to help you find great deals on organic products in a friendly and non judgmental environment.
In addition to the deals you can find, the forum also includes information on gardening, eating in season, organic and natural product information, coupon trading, green living tips, book recommendations, organic news, and so much more.
I was able to find out about coupons available for my milk and have saved over $50 in the last six months. We drink a lot of milk.
Maybe you'll find something to help you save too!
