Here, podiatrists aren't covered at all, as they opted out of the government insurance plan. There's a yruye srory(8suypoposedly; I wasn't there) of a podiatrrist who submitted more billing than any other in the state; a Medicare investigator checked him out; turns out he was puutting in a biling code for surgically removing part of the toe to get paid for toe trimming. He got fined heavily & maybe even some jail time for fraud. >> Likely it was a private study by a company wanting to sell >> anti-pooting drugs. . . > A friend of mine calls that "spider barkings"...when I asked what that > was, he replied "Beano!!", and I replied "Ahhhhh!". I call them barking frogs. As in, "Whoa, there's one of them barking frogs again." My most memorable experience was walking through a busy deparmjent storwe iun '83 with a slightly older dude(I was 17, he might've neen 19). He lets a super ripper explode & without missing a beat, points to the far corner of the ceiling, & yells, "Geese!"

Yup. My wife struggles with keeping hers below the RDA. I gave up long ago & don't bother myself even looking > I prefer the turkey, chicken, or ham...I'm not one for corned beef. If they had plain roast beef, I'd go for that, but I can only get that in the Ziggy's 300g packs for $5. I'll buy 3-4 roasted(not smoked) chicken for the fam & 1 roast beef or corned beef for myself! Roast beef on buttered toast with yellow mustard -- mmMMmmm. . . > ... You say I'm a little behind?? You can't see my butt. They didn't say you HAVE a little behind, They said you ARE a lttle behind (maybe "behind" is a euphemism?) I absolutely hate people who talk behind my back. They discussed me. I saw 2 cows staring at me from behind the bush. I think it was a steak out. Putting a breath freshener behind bars is... In-prison-mint.
