Welcome to the PowerQuad Disability Support Forum!
PQ is an informational, supportive, and FUN social network, run by people with disabilities, for people with disabilities and the people who care about them. We are not professionals. We're not here to cure, fix, or change anyone. We're just ordinary gimps living life. And we're living it with our disabilities, just doing the best we can, despite the extra challenges we may face.
So, here you will find years of combined disability experience. If you're new to the game, we can help you find your way. If you're an experienced hand, please share your knowledge with us. Whatever the case, ain't it good to know... you've got some friends?
Please, join us. Introduce yourself. Tell us what's on your mind. Whatever it is, chances are, we've been there, and we "get it" when others often don't. If you're shy, lurk awhile if you prefer. We'll be here when you're ready!

Rush Limbaugh says that if Obama's healthcare reform passes he will leave the USA...my first thought was he was coming to Canada, he then went further to suggest he'd go to Costa Rica instead (cheaper to buy oxy's I suppose).
Phew...that was close.

after stating in the past, that if canada was smart it would go w/private health care to repair their "broken" system....while in canada this weekend she was quoted bragging on their health care and stated that she and her family frequently cross the boarder to partake in canada's free health care...doesn't that make her a TRAITOR, paul ?..using that socialist system that just sucks according to you ?..it amazes me that anyone can have any respect for this two faced dumb as a board bitch, and want her in ANY power position

Did anybody watch the other night? And for those of you who have seen both "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker", was "The Hurt Locker" really better? I realize it may have had a better plot, but that doesn't necessarily make it a better film.
I was really disappointed that "Avatar" didn't get Best Picture, and I don't usually like science fantasy films. But I thought Ben Stiller's bit in that Na'vi makeup was absolutely hilarious.

We were at my brother's house. There are three steps at the entrance, a small one at the top and bottom, and a big one in the middle. You have to navigate all three to get in and out of the house. Getting in was OK, but on the way out, my father, who is a doctor, and always takes my chair up and down steps, thought he had gotten to the last one and missed. The chair tipped forward, I slid out, and hit the pavement. I bruised my arm, but it feels fine. A few hours after this, though, my left leg began to hurt like hell at the joint. it's not broken - at least I don't think so - but I have been taking Aleve for it and it helps.
OUCH!

MedicaidCuts

Quote:
Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, is proposing the largest cuts in the history of TennCare, his state’s Medicaid program. To trim 9 percent of the TennCare budget, he would establish a $10,000 cap on inpatient hospital services for nonpregnant adults and would limit coverage of X-rays, laboratory services and doctor’s office visits.
“I have no choice,” Mr. Bredesen said.
Quote: “I won’t have any primary care doctors left, much less specialists,” she said. “Certainly down here nobody likes to talk about taxes, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and do what’s right for a whole lot of people.”
Quote: Dr. Beck said that over eight months last year, his practice wrote off $36,000 in losses from treating 17 Medicaid patients. The state-imposed payment cut, he said, was “the final straw.”
“I’m out, I’m done,” Dr. Beck said in a telephone interview. “I didn’t want to. I want to take care of people. But I also have three children and many employees to take care of.”

In order to premiere their new show "The Marriage Ref", NBC actually cut off the Olympic closing ceremony before it ended! I don't remember any TV network ever doing this at the Olympics, and I hope the critics rake NBC over the coals.

You barely did it but you did whoop,our hineys at Hockey, but then you guys have always been the champs, right? Too bad I am not a hockey fan but I know there are lots of Canadians very proud of their accomplisments. USA can be proud for the largest number of medals won. Canada and especially the people of Vancouver did a great job with the winter Olympics this year. Kudos! Paul

Anyone else get into the Olympics? I enjoy watching many of the winter sports and really like watching the opening ceremonies no matter where the Olympics are taking place. This year of course the Olympics are happening right here in my neck of the woods.
I like watching the speed skating stuff, many of the downhill skiing competitions, bobsled and luge and of course...HOCKEY.
Shortage of snow here this year may impair some of the events, the downhill skiing stuff at Whistler looks to be in ok shape but snow has had to be trucked in to the Cypress facilities.
Anyways...for those wondering what my part of the world looks like tune in to the opening ceremonies...it should be worth a look.
