I'm gonna MAKE the government cover insulin pumps! (or not)

This woman needs an insulin pump BADLY! Government doesn't cover the cost, nor other types of insulin! So heartbreaking... and reminds me that I better start thinking of a list for that community!

For every word you get right, this site will donate ten grains of rice through the United Nations to help end world hunger. Very cool, since every little bit counts.


Talked to Corey last night about Russia R5 DVDs - they rush really nice quality online releases of movies a couple of months after they come out, in hopes of keeping people from pirating them. Hey, it results in great movies MUCH sooner, even though it's not remastered / optimized like a DVD is! Heard a Christmas commercial, and bemoaned ads to Corey - there's some nursery / gardening place where he is that has a LOT of Christmas trees, and it's been that way for a couple weeks! AIYA.

I just heard a commercial for Richmond Lexus, and misheard "Christian" as "Christine." Man, I didn't think my hearing was gonna go THAT quickly! o_O Gotta shower before Chinese Eric calls me later! (Edit at 6: He DID call me to say that his boss called him in for a few more hours of work since his co-worker's not feeling well and can't come in. Says he's really sorry, and is going to California till mid-November to help with a parental friend's business. Hopefully, we can talk on MSN or email when he's there if he can hook up MSN! If not, we'll have to wait to catch up!)


Paris builds pee-proof walls: PARIS - The mayor of Paris, who made environmental concerns a major priority, is taking aim at another threat to the city's cleanliness -- public urination. Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, who made all self-cleaning Sanisette toilets in streets and parks free of charge in February, is turning to a new method of keeping urination off the streets and in the toilets: walls that pee back, The Telegraph reported Monday. "Le mur anti-pipi" is an undulating wall that features sloping surfaces that reflect urine streams back toward their source, the newspaper said. "The jet of pee is rather oblique. If it meets a sloping surface, it is sent back to the trousers," said Etienne Vanderpooten, a municipal architect who has been working on halting public urination for 25 years. "It is the case of the arroseur arrose (the sprinkler sprinkled)," he told The Telegraph.
