Fed Finally Make Medicare Fraud Arrests

Well, I say it’s about time!

Now if we can just get them (the government) to work on enforcing I-9′s & fining the non compliant employers.  Imagine the money they could bring in with the fines on that, and maybe free up some jobs for legal immigrants and Americans as well.

Annie Evicted

I thought it might be Annie that was the saboteur.  She was sitting on the floor when the lights went out, so she could have easily sneaked off and came back without anyone noticing.

It was hard to say because when I rewatched the episode to see if  I could figure out who was on the couch when the lights went out, I discovered discrepancies with the clips, like Andrew being in shorts when the lights went out and sweats when they came back on. Or Andrew standing in the bedroom (cut back to the couch) and he’s sitting on the couch.  So no way to tell how long the lights were really out and what went on.

So I’m kinda glad she  is gone, she was getting on my nerves repeating stories, but at the same time I gotta give her credit,  she was fighting to stay in that house.

I can’t believe the saboteur is the first one voted out though.  It would have made it more fun to have saboteur there.

I think if I was the saboteur and the first one voted out, I would have let loose all those bugs in the have not room.

Who Do you think the Saboteur is?

I'm thinking Brittany, but then Brendon left when the lights went out.

Annie is suspicious also.

Is Your Computer Male or Female?

Originally posted 02/17/2010

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’
‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’

A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer’ should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘**el** computador’), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

AMC Cast Updates Brooke's Back & More

Sofia D’Elia Black is done as Bailey but  Finn Wittrock  (Damon) the baby daddy has been put on contract.  humm?

The move to California has caused all the children to be replaced.

Those who will be recast are:

• Lucy Merriam (Emma Lavery),
• Alexa Gerasimovich (Kathy Martin),
• Jessica Slomovitz (Jenny Martin),
• Rory and Declan McTigue (Little Adam Chandler),
• Aidan and Connor Sharpe (Trevor Dillon),
• Triplets Alexander, Benjamin, and Caleb Eckstein (Spike Lavery),
• David and Damian Paseler (Baby Stuart).

Sorry to see that happen. These are great kids.

David Canary (Adam/Stewart) will not renew his contract.  Saw this was coming when they killed off Stewart.

The good news – will see a short return of  Cady McCain as Dixie, and on February 23 Julia Barr is returning as Brooke English.

Brooke’s return should give the writers all kinds of things to write about. The history with Erica & Tad alone makes my head spin.

Thorsten Kaye’s (Zach) is no more. (Crying) For those of you who don’t know, Thorsten is married to Susan Haskell in real life,  Marty Saybrooke Thornhart on One Life to Live which films in NY, unfortunately for us its a conflict. Maybe he will show up on OLTL as her new boyfriend, or he could return as Cole’s dad, maybe he really isn’t dead. Its a soap after all.

Alicia Minshew (Kendall) had taped additional scenes, but she is officially on maternity leave and there is no word if she will return at some point in the future.  What??? No Kendall???

Jill Larsen (Opal) who initially was not offered a deal to California, has now been put on contract. Yay!

Oh and welcome back to Walt Willey (Jackson Montgomery).  You’ve been missed.

I just don’t get what people see in her. I didn’t like her when I first heard of her, and I still don’t like her.

I said she was a quitter way before she resigned as Governor, which she proved when she quit.  She is an embarrassment to women  and I don’t need to see her at a NASCAR race.

Oh, and have I said enough I don’t want to see her.

I haven’t watched OLTL long enough to know the back ground on Mitch.  Did Dorian say she killed him 3 times?

I thought I remembered, when I started watching maybe Dorian and Blair shooting him in a theater?

Can someone help out with some history here? Please

I think the Serial Killer/Burglar is Crystal’s new boyfriend. That would be just her luck, and wasn’t his ex in Boston.  I guess they’ll have the serial killer kill off everyone not moving to California.

I really just want to slap Annie.

I’m so glad the real Greenlee is back.  Now we need Bianca, Reese, Jack, and Lilly back.

Alicia Minshew aka Kendall needs to pop out that kid so her and Zach can return.  I hope all is well in babyland, but I can’t wait to see Kendall and Greenlee meet up again.  When Greenlee comes back and finds out what has happened while she was gone.  Look out!

Erica and Ryan just aren’t doing it for me.  Ryan and Greenlee belong together.

Nancy Kerrigans Brother Allegedly Assaults Father

Mark Kerrigan has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after his 70 year old father was found dead on Sunday in the family’s Boston area home.  He plead not guilty.

Apparently Mark Kerrigan was belligerent and appeared intoxicated. He wanted to use the phone and his father would not let him.  He struggled with his father, put his hands around his father’s neck and his father fell to the floor.  He said his father was faking it.

Brenda Kerrigan, the mother, said her husband died of a heart attack.

This is just sad on so many levels.
