The previous post and my tax rate (25%) will consume half my income. Good thing public employees don’t live in our towns and cities.

Honeycomb 3.0 on the Motorola XOOM by Verizon

Ok, I just played with one at the local Verizon store and am thinking that “Yes, I will have one!” The only pitfall is the price $799 no contract & $599 with a 2 year agreement ($20/month is the cheapest plan). I will probably wait to see if there is an equity adjustment a bit [...]

Ok, I just played with one at the local Verizon store and am thinking that “Yes, I will have one!” The only pitfall is the price $799 no contract & $599 with a 2 year agreement ($20/month is the cheapest plan). I will probably wait to see if there is an equity adjustment a bit down the road.

Since I started with the original Droid and no Droid 2 Global, I have been really satisfied (except for that whole battery thing.) The phones do alot, the XOOM will do the same but be more EYE friendly. There is a Kindle app for Android, so if you are thinking of one of those, I may consider the XOOM which will do more. It does have WIFI, so if you don’t want to worry about a contract, you can use it like all those IPad users out there.

Now just to see if I can put Honeycomb 3.0 on my Dell Latitude 2100 netbook. Currently its holding Windows XP and Ubuntu Netbook in a dual boot format…why not try and make it a triple boot? The XOOM has a dual core 1 Ghz processor, so I’m curious how my 2100 would handle the OS.

I’ll let you all know what comes up…

 

So an interesting thing happened…

With the new regulations that went into effect Jan. 1 2011, it was known that it would affect how you purchased over the counter drugs using a Benny Card.

With the new regulations that went into effect Jan. 1 2011, it was known that it would affect how you purchased over the counter drugs using a Benny Card. The way the law reads, you can purchase over the counter with a prescription at stores with a pharmacy…and you can purchase over the counter drugs at a store WITHOUT a prescription at a store with a pharmacy and a majority of the sales are in pharmaceuticals. 

Evidently Walgreen’s doesn’t meet that criteria. I just bought some Dayquil (OTC on the shelf) and some MucinexD (OTC from behind the counter cause it contains pseudoephedrine, a meth ingredient). The OTC behind the counter was Benny OK (meth component) and I had to pay for the Dayquil (no meth components) out of my pocket or waste 10 minutes for the pharmacist to OK a prescription…oh and this is a benny card that I am required to have because Pawlenty mandated we put dollars in an HSA.

So I am generally healthy and can’t use the money I am required to take out of my paycheck for things that I should be able to…what the fuck is going on here! Don’t blame Obama-care cuz what got passed is what the Repugnations originally proposed when single payer was still an option on the table. Gotta love the Fascist state we live in…Oh T-paw also wants to take away my pension. If that happens the gov’t and taxpayers can kiss my lilly white ass.
