Perfect - captures the reality quite nicely.

I am sorry about that, I was trying to type that on a stupid blackberry.

She IS a full time student, but there was one semester where she fell below the full course-load due to a medical issue. THAT lead to her being dropped from our insurance for the semester. The next semester she was back up to a full course load and she got back on the insurance.

It is my understanding that the extension of benefits to 27 won’t take place until Obama care comes into play. I am still not sure how the employer is going to charge for that—it WILL be an increased cost to the insurer—and I am sure they will happily pass that along to us—the parents.

That tortured presentation method is courtesy DoL.

Look for 504,000 as the revision announced next Thurs. The following few weeks then showig lower #s.

I had 6 interviews this year, 3 being very close.

I just got turned down, after my third interview with a company. Very disheartening, I was so sure I had it... in the meantime now, I am finding a little bit of part time work, making only a fraction of what I made before. The good news is, my living expenses are also far lower than they were before (no mortgage or rent, bought house from court house steps). My wife also manages to bring in some part time income. Another thing that has helped was that the IRS owed ME some money for the last 2 years of tax returns. I don't know how much longer we can last like this though.

Is that an old pic? He can’t eat during the day. Ramadan.

Does it court if he doesn't swallow?

The absurdity of what happened to your daughter just hit me. Wasn't the purpose of insurance reform to not drop people when they get sick?? It's awful that you had to deal with insurance issues while dealing with your daughter's medical issues.

What was wrong with the way it used to be, that reasonably priced health insurance policies were available to students through their schools?

And is still going on VACATION this afternoon!

And that infuriates me to no end that he can take 20 vacations a year (or was it month)with the country suffering like this.

Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast claims slipping to 476,000 from the previously reported 484,000 the prior week, which was revised up to 488,000 in Thursday’s report.

Maybe Reuters should hire some additional analysts...preferably those with brains this time...since they seem to be wrong most of the time. And every little bit helps, ya know!

I plan on turning into a perpetual student in a couple of years. I'll max out my student loans each time and keep the excess for "living expenses." When I die, my "heirs" are off the hook for the money.

I think it's the only way I'll ever see my SS "contributions."

Thus, if we were to give Bush the same pass for job losses during his first year in office, then the economy would have added 2.7 million jobs in his final 7 years -- far more than Obama could hope to add in the next few months.

But only RATS get "Economic Mulligans"...

I can hear the MSM now: the newly unemployed will now have a chance to spend more time with their families, after all families are important.

Don't forget that they will also be receiving unemployment checks, the proceeds of which can be spent, thus stimulating the economy!

Think you are right. Didn’t Nasty Nancy say that unemployment benefits were the economic stimulus?

“Sadly, no matter how bad the news is, Barry still has a job.”

Let’s work to see that he becomes unemployed as soon as possible.....after Nov 2010 he should be just causal labor...The new Republican Congress will do all the heavy lifting.....push Obama to the back of the bus......he’s steered too long as it is....

Yes, I'd like to see barry in the unemployment line jail after Jan 2011. If you run the car into the ditch, you don't put it in 'd' to get further into the ditch, You put it in "R" to back out and start going forward again. EFF barry.
