Wow, I actually agree with you on that one.... I have a problem with this one though...so celebrities can say whatever they want because they can pass it off as comedy, BUT a journalist can't make any jokes because they are not comedians??? PUH-LEASE!!! Bill Mahr can say that Cheney should die, but it is passed off as comedy, but when Ann Coulter makes a joke about an "f" word, that is extremely offensive and creates incredible uproar. (Now, I don't like what she said and am not saying it shouldn't have caused an uproar, but the same should be said for Bill too.) Why shouldn't comedians be held responsible for their words too??? They can't always hide behind their title of comedian because it's obvious their remarks are anything but comedy, they are dead serious.....IMHO

Yeah, it really pays to have insurance doesn't it. Men can get Viagra no problem..... I also have BCBS of ND, when I got my surgery they didn't cover anything except Bypass, so when I heard they started covering I called to see if my fills could be covered, yeah right...I got a BIG FAT NO! I really hope that it works out for you this time around.

HOLD THE PHONE!!! Are you serious? They will do fills for other patients now? THAT IS AWESOME, I live soooo much closer to Fargo than Bismarck, I am calling them right away! Thank you so much for posting that information, you are a life saver!!!!! :clap2: :clap2:

Hi Tarra, In Mexico I paid around $8000.00, where Bismarck was, at the time anyway, $12,000.00. Plus, I kind of got a little mini-vacation, I had never been to San Diego before so that was cool.

I had the nozzle in the tank, about to pull the trigger......

This is one that comes to mind for me cuz it was only months ago that this happened. I was back in my home town for a dinner party hosted by my husband's employer. My husband stayed late to help clean up the mess while my kids and I left to go put gas in my Tahoe as I was seriously on "E". It was late and I was in a hurry to get home and get the kids to bed so as I was pulling into the gas station, I ended up behind a car that I assumed would have the common courtesy to go forward to the front pump while I would pull up behind in the rear pump. Well, they didn't, they stopped at the first pump, so I got ticked. When they got out to get their gas (teenage boys) I gave them the "death stare", they definately saw that I was pissed. I threw my car into reverse and peeled out to the next pump over, got out, still giving them the "evil eye", and was JUST ABOUT to pull the trigger to start pumping, the boys yelled over to me.... "Hey, that's Diesel!" Oops, now that's embarassing! They saved my ASS!!!

Hi guys!! North Dakotan here! I can't help you with insurance experience because when I had mine done, BCBS didn't cover the procedure so I went to Mexico. Also when I had mine done, Merit Care wasn't even doing the procedure. I have gone to Bismarck for aftercare, they are super nice there. Do you live closer to Fargo or Bismarck? I ask because I would definately recommend Dr. Schmit if you live closer to Bismarck. Well, good luck in your new adventure in Banding!!! If you have any questions, please ask!!

OOOH, that made me CRINGE!!! OUCH!!! LOL! :omg:

OK TOM - I get it....You know everthing, I know nothing, you are right about everything, I am right about nothing. You win, I lose. Feel better now? I grew up not even 2 miles from the Canadian border, I work in the Clerk of Courts office where we see all the criminal cases that come from drug smuggling across the border, but I guess I still don't know near as much as you. Sorry I ever even posted in this because clearly I am out of my league. I will go back to sticking my head in the sand, okay? Thanks for setting me straight. Rant on TOM, that's all you seem to do anyway....I hope it really makes you feel better all day everyday.. Peace out.

Maybe this is not a priority to you, but it is for me.....I worry about the drug trafficking coming across the wide open border, not that whites will be a minority, I think that is preposterous. What is so wrong about wanting immigrants to be here legally??? Fine, let 'em come, but do it legally.

Or the "vote for the worst" votes.....thanks a lot Howard Stern...:angry

I thought you did write it because you didn't post an author or source. Anyway, I do know that our state has and has had quite a surplus, which kind of bugs me anyway, why sit on millions of dollars while we continue to pay property taxes through the nose and they (our ND legislature) continue to cut spending for education, and this and that. Doesn't make sense to me.....but I guess they must have some method to their madness.

Just curious what you mean by this? I don't recall my state declaring bankruptcy....did I miss something? Seriously, I'm not being a smart a$$, I would really like to know.

What is going on with this show! That was the worst results show since Chris Daughtry was voted off. Sabrina should have never gone home and Sanjaya should be at home right now. This means that all the people in this top twelve will be touring together after the show is done. What happened AMERICA???? :woot: :woot:

That is a sick sick thing to say. It totally reinforces my distaste for you and your BAZILLION rants on this forum. Disgusting......

I believe that we will recognize our loved ones who made it to heaven, but will be oblivious to those who did not. There is no sorrow or sadness in heaven...

:amen: :amen: :amen: :clap2: :clap2:

Hi Fellow North Dakotan!! I did not have my surgery in North Dakota, so I can't be of any help to you there. But I was back to my "desk job" in one week. I didn't know Fargo had any doctor's who did the lap band, they didn't when I was researching. Good luck!!!

I'm doing great! How are you Ron? :wave:

I'm just guessing, but I don't think we are :puke:about the same thing..... I think we are on opposite sides of the fence here. :nervous

:puke: :puke: :puke: I guess this must be very un-Christian like of me, because we take ourselves so seriously, but I couldn't help it. I've been holding back for as long as I could!

AGREED!!

Blake was INCREDIBLE!! He is my new favorite, LOVED HIM!! I also really like Chris Richardson, he is way cool! Boys did way better this week, but I'm afraid Sanjaya needs to go home. He is good, but not great. What did y'all think??

Oops, my bad. I was unaware that they no longer used the Judicial System in Texas since "Dubya" took over as the decider.

Hmmm....silly me, I thought it was the Judicial System that decided who went to death row, to be executed.....Just because he didn't grant any stays, doesn't mean he decided who died there, that was the jury of our peers..... Oh, and the people of the State of Texas voted for Mr. Bush to be able to have that power, like it or not.
