The bar is open… (Open thread)

Hey boozers,

The bar is open now. Have at it, folks.

I’ll be out of town after Sept. 4, but I will be able to post and comment here.

Again, welcome back Deedog. (Raises an overflowing pint of grog) Deedog, do not worry about cross-posting just yet. Just link to a post at your blog with some comment and/or context.

Sept. 11 is coming up and the powers-that-be are still terrorizing the American populace. Sigh… Should I start taking long bets on any kind of uprising or revolution in these United States of America?

Some interesting news out there… Vermont just got started on the path to providing full single payer on medical/health insurance http://www.ama-assn.org/amednews/2011/05/16/gvsa0516.htm OR http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/226691.php – ahead of California where efforts are still stalled.

National Association of the Deaf, along with Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, just started a big lawsuit against Humana and the State of Florida for failure to provide full communication access to deaf and hard of hearing patients http://www.nad.org/news/2011/8/humana-state-florida-sued-ada-violations

Doctor Who is back on the air for the second half of the season. This Saturday is Night Terrors – promises to be suitably spooky… http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/news/bulletin_110827_03/The_Night_Terrors_are_Coming

Any other interesting news or items for us to chew over?

    Looking forward to my vacation and to Doctor Who…

    Oh, two Mondays are working Mondays for me – one is statewide Video Remote Interpreting committee meeting and another is a state agency advisory committee.

    But that is okay. :-)

    I am going to have to DVR that Doctor Who! I’ve been looking forward to it all summer, but we’ve been invited to the beach for the weekend and my boys have never seen the ocean, so…I guess I’ll put their interests above my burning Who-Jones. I’m a saint I tells ya!

    • Phuq Yew September 2, 2011 at 5:17 pm

      Yeah, DVR this show! Be sure to see if the first Doctor Who episode after the break, “Let’s Kill Hitler” is re-running just before “Night Terrors”. If yes, go ahead and DVR both – that way, you will be caught up.

      Yes, you are a saint. :-) Have a great time at the beach and see if you can collect seashells and TARDIS fragments…

    Hey I live pretty close to the beach. Looks like the weather channel is going to set up in front of my house. That is usually not a good thing. I doubt I even get off work for this little rain shower we are going to get.

    Anyway, It has been great to be back around, ya know.

  • deedogg September 2, 2011 at 8:13 pm

    I started posting a little over at GOS and was given trusted user status today. Wow. Could be because of the history of my account though.

    • Phuq Yew September 2, 2011 at 9:16 pm

      What user id are you using at GOS? I may want to follow your postings and comments.

      • deedogg September 2, 2011 at 10:17 pm

        Amazingly the deedogg ID is working just fine. Of course, that ought to never have been a problem, but o’well. The admin that was giving be problems got banned, they changed their format, time went by and now it is like nothing ever happened. I am not posting too much, anywhere though and trying to stay out of the meta. I really don’t care as much about this stuff as I did, that will take awhile.

    • Phuq Yew September 2, 2011 at 9:21 pm

      Congrats on trusted user status. Maybe you can use your status to help beleaguered posters survive the Obamabot packs and trolls… Reality and truth need to be shown and told, not denials and lies.

  • deedogg September 2, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    Any one know where Jack went?

    • Phuq Yew September 2, 2011 at 9:19 pm

      Sigh…. He may be involved in the Pirate Party USA, for starters. He basically inferred that his real life was taking over his time and schedule.

      So, we really do not know. But we can always hope that he is making like Tyler Durden and setting up, shall we say, fight clubs all over America….

  • cometman September 3, 2011 at 9:04 pm

    Hi there deedogg. Nice to see you around!

    And thanks for the heads up on the Dr. Who. Just read your comment and switched the channel just in time.

    • deedogg September 3, 2011 at 9:35 pm

      Hey! It is nice to be around. Beats the alternative for sure.

  • Sabrina33Perkins September 3, 2011 at 9:07 pm

    I propose not to hold back until you get enough money to order different goods! You can get the business loans or just collateral loan and feel yourself fine

  • triv33 September 8, 2011 at 8:45 am

    Yet the new improved deedogg has stayed under the radar. I have stayed out of all meta (unless you count my scolding of the sock rat the other day a Pffugee Camp) and I offered to let him make it.

  • triv33 September 11, 2011 at 11:57 am

    Looks like trashy went bojo for real this morning. I honestly never thought that would happen.

  • deedogg September 11, 2011 at 7:02 pm

    He is done, he can always hang out with his other banned troll buddies. Bye Trashy:

  • deedogg September 11, 2011 at 7:03 pm

    I got to figure this format out. Tried to post the cat, didn’t work for me. Dang.

  • Felecia29Boone September 14, 2011 at 6:01 pm

    Set your life time more simple get the loans and everything you want.

  • EBONYGrimes28 September 30, 2011 at 10:55 am

    I would like to be as great as a creator of this page. I can buy term paper, however, I would better write my own writings.
