Mayzie, do you own wikipedia? ???

No, but she does have stock in it - LOTS of stock!

Laurel & Hardy  ???  I don't even have a moustache!  I think Nancy Ligosi (er, Lori)  is right - the Smothers Brothers are more like it.  And as long as mom likes me best, I'm good with that  ;D

I'm not a dancer either.  Just not something I ever got into - which is probably a good thing since I have no rhythm.  But for the record, I can sing - usually Jimmy Buffett.

Denzel as Michelle  ;D  Forgot about that; have to agree, he'd be a stellar choice.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Owning stock in WIKI would be like owning stock in the Acoustic Neuroma Association  :D
 :D ;D

It is FREE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia

Ok ok so ANA is not totally free but it is non-profit.

Definitely  ;)  regret NOT buying stock in Google when those 1st came out.

The Smothers Sisters it is! (NO that sounds weird :-\  and does not ryhme!)

How about the Blister Sisters? Mister Sisters? Or we could make one up... Fister Sisters? Hister Sisters?

Help me out here Steve! Anyone? ;) ;D

There is a HysterSisters website for those of us who have had a hysterectomy or just having one.     Very good info too.   Having one was not a real big deal to me with being post menopausal but for those who aren't, is a big deal!
  Acouster sisters isn't quite it either.                I like the Smother sisters but a young person might wonder who iin the world is the Smother Brothers!                               Cheryl R

While Smothers Mothers is quite amusing (wonder who suggested that  ???  ;) ) I think we're best described as the JKL Trio.

Of course that means that my partner in crime, Lori, and I have to bring Kaybo up (or is that down??) to our level of humor  :D

If you are going to be dancing, as suggested by DHM, then I suggest taking a cue from Kaybo's web site name, and calling yourself the Twirly Girlies.  8)

If there will be twirling involved - we're going to need a few large rolls of bubble wrap to wrap ourselves in as we will be falling - a lot!   :o

I'm sure glad Phyl OK'd "hijacks" on this particular community forum many posts ago.  ;D

But, if ya think about it, everything written on this thread ..... perhaps the longest in the shortest time(?) .... does concern health care .... because in the words of some wise human long ago:

"Laughter is the best medicine!" ;D

Laughter in my world of insurance woes is often the only medicine available so I use it often ... it is either that or cry

I wise crack alot about things AN related and dealing with other health issues that are not funny ...protection mode I guess ... and it helps not let the bad over power the good in my life

I have found this thread informative , entertaining and grant permission for hilarity to continue ... not that I have the pwser to grant anything...but please , do continue

I'm not going to touch most of this topic with a 10 foot pole, but will only say to DHM that I don't think as WTT-er's we should be giving advice about insurance matters anyway.  Everyone's coverage, at this point, is different so there's no way you could possibly give them accurate advice on their own personal policy.


To date we are at page 14… (gee a hot and lively topic is this one  ::)) ...of this health bill thread

This was post # 9 on page one (OK no longer “thread”  :-\ … but spool  ;D)

The ANA just sent out an excellent e-mail to ALL the Wiling To Talk (WTT) folks that reemphasized what Lori says here- quoted above. In truth we do NOT understand this health bill and Lori is very right that this should NOT be a topic when one calls for help. We are not qualified to answer on this matter (I know I am not  :-[ ) … particularly on medical insurance.

If Lori, aka member of the  Smother’s Mothers  ;D, is not on the ANA board- she should be.( Lori should run for president of the USA- what-do-ya-say?  ;)  :D)

Ew-ah that rhymed. I feel a limerick coming on... ::)  ;D  :D

DHM :)
