Thanks, Love. Meryl at Mobility Medical just put in the order. I'm guessing it'll take a few weeks to build and ship.

What? That's not excellent, or news!

BTW, not that anyone here cares, but Medicare has approved my new wheelchair (I called Mobility Medical this morning).

Never mind...

No, HM, that IS excellent news and we should all mind. A wheelchair that restores a degree of mobility is life-changing.

John S, I'm also glad that Medicare has approved your new wheelchair and I hope it'll ship soon.

I was doing an Emily Litella, thinking that Dana was reacting to the first sentence, and then realizing that she was reacting to the last.

The wheelchair is actually excellent news!

You do a great Emily, except she was rocket powered... zooooom. :haha:

Sigh ... once again I'm a pop culture fail. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have familial sensorineural deafness and don't watch much TV for that reason ....

Never mind.

Classic Gilda. :cool:

Don't feel bad Ortho, it was a looong time ago and at a time you really had your hands full.
We degenerates and deadbeats soaked that shit up. :haha:

Don't worry Ortho. It is all part of getting old (just teasing with you since I think you look so, so young).

John - I'm proud for you man. You need to put some bling on it and post a photo when it comes in.

Death Metal the fuck out of that hog.

Poor John Boehner, :sniff:
The GOP hasn't been mean-spirited enough yet for his "followers".

Republican divisions force delay in Boehner's debt strategy

Quote:

Washington (CNN) -- House Republican leaders were forced
on Thursday to delay rolling out their bill to raise the nation's debt limit,
after conservatives complained the package failed to include deep enough
budget cuts and significant changes to entitlement programs.

The setback comes as Speaker John Boehner prepares to wrestle with
his conference over how to ultimately handle short term spending
and the prospect of a government shutdown beginning on Tuesday,
if Congress does not act to refill federal coffers.

Harry Reid rejects GOP plan

Quote:

In an unsurprising move, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) rejected the latest House GOP proposal to delay Obamacare in exchange for keeping federal agencies open for business.

Reid issued a statement calling Boehner a hostage of “tea party anarchists” who are forcing his hand to take the impossibly strong line of attack against the president’s health law. It’s unclear when the Senate will return to take up the House legislation if it is approved later Saturday – some aides have suggested Sunday or Monday, while others said no decision would be made until after the House acts.

Reid left no doubt that the timing didn’t really matter, making clear that the Senate will reject the House bill. Here’s the full statement:

Quote:

“Today’s vote by House Republicans is pointless. As I have said repeatedly, the Senate will reject any Republican attempt to force changes to the Affordable Care Act through a mandatory government funding bill or the debt ceiling. Furthermore, President Obama has stated that he would veto such measures if they ever reached his desk.

“To be absolutely clear, the Senate will reject both the one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act and the repeal of the medical device tax. After weeks of futile political games from Republicans, we are still at square one: Republicans must decide whether to pass the Senate’s clean CR, or force a Republican government shutdown.
