Everyone. ...Everyone should have health insurance. Everyone. You never know what shitty surprising disease may be coming to get YOU. You don't even have to do anything to get some of this stuff. I should know.<BR/><BR/>I walk a lot more slowly than I used to, because about a year ago I noticed that when I walked at my usual clip, I kept falling down. My "walking program" involves trying not to do that anymore, so I walk more slowly and take smaller steps. <BR/><BR/>I know this is a place we come to be funny. I apologize for being all serious. But it was beaten into my head by my mom and my undergrad advisor that I should never go a day without health insurance, and I'm profoundly grateful for that.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625950040870228573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796959957155457877.post-51789429908926174402008-10-30T12:35:00.000-04:002008-10-30T12:35:00.000-04:00At least the fine print didn't warn against possib...At least the fine print didn't warn against possible tripping, falling, dislocating, stumbling, possible interferences while walking, or possible death.Mel Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924407989662059788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796959957155457877.post-29287236517327112742008-10-30T12:13:00.000-04:002008-10-30T12:13:00.000-04:00Awesome.

Have you seen the idiots in an airport or a mall? Or I don't know, wherever you may be walking (but you may not be, being that you chose to live close to, everything, so it's never necessary, i'm impressed.) But there should be some classes or something. (and maybe that's what the program is all about.)Cuz it ain't as easy as your steps lay it out to be. I mean for all the idiots out there who can't walk , I am doing just fine over here. I too grew up in a family where "suck it up" or "go take a hot shower" was the cure to everything.So if I ever break my leg or have a heart attack you know where I will be.Brookie Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337770023157596130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796959957155457877.post-30413720924416034312008-10-30T11:12:00.000-04:002008-10-30T11:12:00.000-04:00My company used to offer an exercise lunch hour pr...My company used to offer an exercise lunch hour program thing where you paid so much a month, they gave you like....some bananas and shit and you walked ten blocks during your lunch hour with a big group of likeminded, insane people.
