September 16

I haven't been watching much TV but now that there's some buzz about the new shows for the fall season, I've been curious about what's on and when. I started wondering why I haven't seen that weekly TV show guide in the Sunday paper because then I could just flip through it to easily see what's on. That's when I realized I haven't gotten a Sunday paper in several years. Funny how you can go years without something and never miss it but then one day, bam! I feel like I had so many good times with that weekly TV programming guide and I wish it were around and if it called me at 2 a.m. I would answer and even sneak downstairs to talk to it...

Labor Day

Healthcare seems to be all the buzz these days. I'd like to start seeing medical menus. You would then hear questions such as:

-"Does your labor and delivery come with a side of infant care and evaluation?"

-"How much should I tip for a colonoscopy?"

-"I'd like to get an ultrasound but could you please go easy on the gel?"

-"How much extra is it to supersize the birth control?"

-"Which day do you offer 2-for-1 vaccinations?"

-"Can I order a hysterectomy ala-carte or does it have to be included in the hospital package?"

-"I'd like to order a doctor evaluation with a side of testing and some results for dessert."

When you get embarrassed, does your nationality change? What about your birthday?

Did you know that Malawi used to be known as Nyasaland? Did you know that Malawi has both widespread religious views as well as widespread cases of HIV? I don't know if the two are related but this message has been brought to you as part of Appreciate a Third World Country Day.
