Hi,

My plan began on 4/1, but I see that a new benefit year begins on 6/1.
Will I have to start over fulfilling a new deductible, or will my
expenses from 4/1-5/30 carry over?

Gas

Experts: Petroleum May Be Nearing Peak

I’m so glad President Bush and the United States have taken the lead on developing alternative forms of energy! Oh, wait, that comes later, after fixing…er, dismantling Social Security, and turning the country into a theocracy and making Bush’s oil buddies some cash before the wells dry up.

If you’re getting under 20mpg and don’t have at least five kids or have a business that requires you to have such a vehicle, I will feel zero pity for you when gas hits $2.50 or $3 or $4 or $5 a gallon…okay, maybe there will be exceptions. If you have a W in ’04 sticker, definitely no pity.

The Definitive Toastie : 1975 – 2005

Well, not really. I finally bit the bullet and posted pictures of myself on the internet (besides the one “About Me” picture and the one picture with Regis). I’ve had a website since 1994, and I had never really posted pictures of myself. So this is what I had on my hard drive, for better or for worse. Looking forward to shedding some pounds and looking more like Toastie circa 1992, although I guess that’s somewhat impossible. I am down 15 pounds from my heaviest, so hopefully forthcoming pictures will be better….

Cats of I-85 Rest Stop

The first rest stop you hit entering SC from GA on I-85 is populated by stray cats. Here are some pics of them.

And I probably put these in the LJ before, but here are pics from the neighborhood cat and baby bunny confrontation from last spring.

Duffy albums

I may not be able to take pictures right now, but I can at least do something with the pictures I have taken, and that means adding some more photo albums. At long last, a new category, ‘More Animals’, for The Toastie Gallery.

First up, pictures of Duffy, including pictures of her with Aremid and of her at Duke Gardens, from April 2004.

Blingo! (again)

Two days in a row, I’ve won Blingo (along with ). Unfortunately, it was another movie ticket, and I can’t win again for a month, so no iPod or free Blockbuster for a year or Amazon gift certificate.

My blingo strategy…when it’s been at least 20 minutes since someone has won, I just do my ten searches (that’s all you can use to win each day) quickly. Both days, I’ve won on my fifth or sixth search.

<lj user=”lagata”>’s discharged meme says I must post this

So here we go:

01. Reply with your name and I will write something about you.
02. I will then tell what song/movie remind me of you.
03. If I were to apply an o’clock to you, it would be…
04. I will try to name a single word that best describes you.
05. I’ll tell you the most memorable moment I’ve had with you.
06. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
07. I’ll then tell you something that I’ve always wondered about you.
08. Put this in your journal.

BLINGO!

I won a Blingo movie ticket. And will win won too, since she referred me. Now, you know you want a free movie ticket or an iPod, too, so you should sign up…

Yippee!

GWB’s tragedy

(sent from my mother)

Crawford, Texas (not AP) – A tragic fire this morning destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush. The fire began in the presidential bathroom where both of the books were kept. Both of his books have been lost.

A presidential spokesman said the president was devastated, as he had almost finished coloring the second one.
