 DD> Is you elderly enough to get the Medicare that all *should* have?

Not quite. Soon enough, I suppose.

I think we all agree that basic medical care should be available
to all for not extortionate cost, but the problem is who's to
underwrite it, but that's a question for another time and place.

 DD> I know  that you are infirm enough.

Feeling that way.

 DD> http://www.brandalliance.com/ -- which one knows is a Northern
 DD> Exposure  site as it offers immediately to present the site in English
 DD> or French  (hopefully real French not that Quebecois argot as spoke by
 DD> the FLQ). 

I'm sure that speakers of real French are less than likely
to frequent the site, so why not Quebecois argot?

When I was in graduate school I worked in a hospital; one of
the places I frequented was the billing department, which used
badly printed forms with apparently no quality control - turns
out the guy in charge of the department farmed the printing out
to one of his buddies who in turn farmed it out to some extremely
cut-rate and obviously incompetent outfit, everyone taking his
small cut. There was one time when the problem was worse than
blurring and streaking - actual wrong text - and getting it
fixed was worse than pulling teeth because of the chain of supply
and the low profit margins.

Okay, I see the fruits, but where are the nuts? Nutmeg doesn't count.

  Assemble ingredients in Slow Cooker.  Cover and cook on low 8-10

  presoak the beans and use a meaty ham bone rather than just
  plain old ham. Also maybe precook the veggies.
