God forbid this should ever happen to you:

Contrast this with the government, which actually tried to pass laws to keep Terri Schiavo, a brain dead woman, from being taken off feeding tubes. And guess where her private insurance policy stood regarding this? Oh, that's right, they didn't weigh in at all since they (Prudential) kicked her off their policy on June 30, 1990, just months after her February 25, 1990 collapse.

Medicaid would have covered her care indefinitely. True, there is no say and no recourse regarding the kind or quality of care, but wouldn't you say that's better than the callous removal of any kind of insurance coverage at all?

Have they never read their private insurance policies? Don't people realize that INSURANCE companies CURRENTLY approve or disapprove of treatments? Why doesn't anyone point out that there really isn't much of a difference between the two?

So afraid to be without you

It's difficult to separate what is wanted

From what is needed

A fine line between the two

A fine strand of your fine hair

Cannot keep from glancing

Lingering on your familiar lips

Wondering if I will feel them on me again

My reason understands yours

And I have no more words

To turn you around

Upside down

Words lie, my spilt tears do not

Yet I still long for those sweet

Lies in your eyes

I used to have

I let myself fall despite

My sullen suspicions

I feel like a fool

So tired now after a day

Of smiling through the

Ache in my chest

It's strange how things work out

For the first time

I wish I had left

That night

And never seen your arrogant brilliance

Too late to regret meeting you now

You have already told me that

You have already regretted

Asked why I still hold on

I no longer know

I thought of you once as my everything

I thought of you as my life

But no more

You and I and there is no more

Bush has just ordered that Congress remain in session until his eavesdropping bill is drafted in a form he deems acceptable. Where was this ultimatum when Iraq's parliament decided to go on vacation in the middle of an obvious crisis? I feel like our President Bush really has his priorities upside down. He treats Pelosi like a deadly enemy and shares lobsters at his family home with Putin. Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy talk?

I told my current company two weeks ago that I would be leaving within a month because of the ridiculous commute I had (two hours each way) and wanted to give them time to find a new person as 4 other people had left my department of 16 in the last month. This Monday, I told them my last day would be May 21st and shared where I would be going. The next thing I knew, the executive administrative assistants were warning me that the CEO was on the phone with our broker at my new firm as well as the HR department there. Then he, the CEO, said in a public area that I must have gotten the job because I "misrepresented" myself and didn't put my current company on my resume (he claims they would have told him in advance if they knew). Yesterday, they confronted me with a copy of my resume they had gotten, accusing me of not telling them I went through a recruiting firm. My question now is, do I now have the right to renege on the two weeks notice I gave under the circumstances?
