I know some ultra conservative Jews. Near as I can tell they don't have
anything close to the views of Conservative Christians. Being a
Conservative Jew is a way of life, unlike being a conservative Christian
where it is more about beliefs than it is actions and reality.

Just my take. I like all my Jewish friends and I think believing in
God is crazy.

Thank you for shedding light into this issue. I thought all
Conservatives were the same.

I think they are crazy AND dangerous.

Nope, it is the same with some Christians just as it is with some Jews.
Beliefs, actions and reality - all one thing.

Well Hells Bells, I don't like anybody no matter their religion, but I don't
think believing in God is crazy. It is merely traditional in all cultures.
Why not take a few courses in sociology and anthropology to learn what it is
to be human. Why be an ignorant slob all of your life!

You're confusing conservative and orthodox Jews. There is no such thing
as "ultra-conservative," it's "ultra-orthodox." In any case
"conservative" doesn't describe "conservative Jews" politically, since
nearly all are politically moderate, and mostly Democratic. For a while
there was an increase in Republicanism among Jews, but the tea-party
nonsense put the kibosh on that.

All conservatives are bastards who want to slow down the tide of
history.

Right wing, left wing, Jews, Christians and Muslims are all blind,
deaf and unwilling to speak...

I think you were misinformed. Medicare recipients who participate
in a "Medicare Advantage" plan have a brief "re-enrollment" period
(we're in it now) during which they may make changes. This the last
time that will happen.

Oh yeah, I got insurance in the early 90s when I finally quit my day job and
was 100% self-employed. The premiums went up about $800 every year, then
$1,000, and then they started with deductibles. When the premium went up to
$12,000 a year (one non-smoking adult with no medical problems) with a
$5,000 deductible, I cancelled it. Since I never used it, not even once, I
flushed about $70,000 in premiums down the toilet. That's about twice what
my retirement account is currently worth. And...since business is so
terrible, I no longer make enough to qualify for the "Small Business"
insurance plan anyway, so even if I could afford it they wouldn't let me buy
it.

So not only can I not afford any medical care, I will probably never be able
to close my business and retire.At least I can get Medicare in 12 years.
Yes, politicians really do not get how bad it is for many of us.

Those rates sould absurd. At the worst, I paid $850/mo before I finally bailed
on the "do everything" policy. The one I am in now as described in my origional
post will be $258/mo. Before I made that previous change at $850, my rates had
gone up 368% in 7 years.

Fortunately, I put the maximum into my Keogh and earlier IRAs, in addition to my
regular savings.

I am not now nor have I ever been any item of clothing for the Tibetan
Monkey. We don't even live in the same state of the Union, he lives in
the most deadliest state to walk or ride a bike (16% of the cyclists
killed in the US died in FL last year, and 8% of the cyclists killed
in the US died in just 3 FL counties), I live in the third most
deadly, TX. TM is reacting to living in a virtual war zone for
cyclists, Miami-Dade was one of those 3 counties that killed 8% of the
cyclists killed in the US last year (and pretty much every year for
the last 4). So take it easy on TM, he's shellshocked.

Thanks, and still trying to survive in no-man's land.

Now I'm charging in folding bikes and arming myself with a trailer
that makes it impossible for any dumb driver to miss me ("Oh, I never
saw him!")

Let me tell you, Opus. I have a chance of things changing around here
in the next few months. But I again I don't overestimate their chances
of getting it right. You on the other hand, are a true survivor of
this grinding war. You have been struck on purpose and abandoned to
die on the road...

I haven't read your diary in a while, but your strategy is right on...
keep reporting from the jungle.

TM is too god damn fucking stupid for me to even waste that minimum amount
of effort on him. He is truly the village idiot. I no longer bother with him
and just automatically delete all of his moronic posts so I do not ever have
to even see them. Fuck that dumb bastard all the way to Hell and back!

Opus, you are an idiot almost on the level of TM. You ought to be ashamed of
yourself for giving any encouragement to him.

I have done a bit of cycling in Florida myself and most of the other
cyclists I ran into in Florida are idiots just like TM. They do not have a
clue about how to cycle on the road safely with motor vehicles. I suspect
you do not either.

Fuck this god damn TM and all who think like him. Only idiots can't figure
out how to cycle safely. Such idiots are almost as dumb as mountain bikers.

You seem to be a fat ass with a big mouth, but he had a real life-
threatening experience to tell and he has a lot of courage to keep on
going. This is how his diary starts today...

"I have to read so many links to gut-wrenching stories, most of which
I can't use for this blog because they aren't about bicycles or
cycling, they are events at which there was a cyclist, or they are
about motorcycles, or things that run in cycles, and in order to find
out what they are about I have to read the article which because of
the search string I used invariably involve death or carnage."

Why don't you stick your head instead of your ass in the toilet?

Why anyone would choose to live in the Miami (Florida, not Ohio) area is
beyond me. Awful climate, and too many fascists.

My electric razor alway misses a few hairs when i shave. Once they get to
about three days growth the shaver no long cuts them. Recently I borrowed
the wife's magnifying mirror and tweezers and realised how easy such a
mirror makes it to take them out.

The North American Native Indians apparently used to pull out all the hairs
on their face instead of shaving.

I'm wondering if it would be frugal with my time and electricity to say pull
out ten or twenty each morning, until they have all gone. Would there be any
disadvantages to doing this?

Makes a hell of a lot more sense to save much more time by not bothering to shave at all.

I just mow it back to a stubble every couple of weeks, just
because I find a full beard irritating, particularly after a shower.

And the fuckwit moslems pull out all their pubic hair. Wota packa fuckwits.

Ingrown hairs when they grow back. Much more time spent pulling them.

From: "His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the prophet of the deep jungle"

It's not written anywhere, but seems to be standard practice among
Christians...

Actually I think it is more closely followed among the member of all
three Abrahamic religions than any of the written Ten Commandments.

I wonder why they call these monkeys "wise" when they should be called
hypocrites. Is it a survival strategy? Something to ponder about.

Huge amounts spent storing stuff you will finally throw out.
