Thief of Time... cuz my other copy is buried in the storage unit or under the dozen laundry baskets of clean clothes that my lower back will not allow me to deal with.On the brighter side, there is a Medical Doctor in Rockford IL who TAKES MEDICARE and will see me tomorrow. He is a specialist in lower back care and the strengthening of everything to keep you better afterward. Hooray!!! plus he gives you drugs in the meantime hehehehehehehe!!!!!!!! :twisted:
Pratchett Pratchett Pratchett ... oh and er ... did I mention Pratchett? 
Literally:
Men At Arms to my mum
Pyramids
Thud!
Fifth Elephant
Theif of Time
H'mmm .... I think I am miles over the borderline obsessive!
Tina: MEDICARE? Is that some sort of insurance ... We have the NHS here - not perfect but for someone like my family in stretched economic finance it's more of a help ... and I don't even have to pay for my meds! my dad doesn't have to pay for carparking and, we did not even have to pay to have extra aids put in the house when my mum had her two hip operations!

It is what you get when you get Social Security/Disability, yes a bit like the NHS but not for everyone... poor Trish can't get it because she is able to work.
You Really, Really, Really, have to jump through hoops to get it. And, it is not really all that great, but this Doctor and his clinic accept it and they actually do good work. Most Chiropractors are like slip and fall, and insurance case people, not all of them do decent work. This guy has found his niche and is able to get the government to pay for it. Hooray, otherwise it is just painkillers until you get addicted and walking hunched over forever.

It took me four years and had to hire a lawyer and go through hearings and many doctor tests to prove that I am F*cked up enough not to work. Double vision and extreme headaches were not enough on their own, I have the bad back and rotten knees and could not even admit that I could walk to the mailbox (75 feet) and back or I might not have gotten it.
Only in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Currently being discussed in England, the free carparking that is. I'd be able to have free meds anywhere in the UK because I have an Underactive Thyroid and if you have any kind of thyroid condition then you get meds for free ... which I think is unfair on people like Pratchett who can't even GET his Aricet and has to spend his hard earned royalties on drugs he should NOT HAVE TO GET! 
! That is NOT how people should be treated who have worked hard. And I still have to buy things like glasses and only avoid paying for dental care through a strange beaurocratic thing!
Anyway startede UA last night. Nearly 100 pages in already 8)
