Doubled the cost of my cab today, or BE CAREFUL

(1/9) > >>

I was hanging the back door on my cab today and I dropped it on my toe.  Stupidly I was not wearing shoes.  I know better, and I am usually a nancy-boy about following safety rules.  But I made an exception and now I'm minus a toe nail and probably have a fractured toe (I wouldn't let them x-ray it).  At any rate, I'm in a good deal of pain.  In other news, for the past month I've been without health insurance for the first time in 11 or 12 years.  So the single biggest cost of building my own arcade cabinet is toe repair.   :)

Be careful.

Must be some part of Murphy's Law working here.   Dropped a part sheet of MDF on my toe and had alot of pain but did not loose the nail.  Then I dropped a metal welded chair frame on my foot and did a whole lot of damage.   Really hurts more when the health care is not in force.  Thank God for universal health care in Canada.

Yeah, I was up late last night talking to my brother about that very thing just last night.  I was telling him about how Americans are taxed per capita more than Canadians for health care, but that in return for their taxes every single Canadian has full health coverage and it's a crime.  We talked about the state of American health care for at least an hour last night.  And then today . . . WHAM!!!

Well I guess that's score one for the Brits - Tax is too much, National Insurance is high, but at least if we fall ill we ain't gotta front a thing - very handy if you need it just once in your life. I had a stroke with 2 months in hospital, 3 years of aftercare and numerous further investigations and to top it all I had private madical insurance too that gave me a fixed amount for every night I spent in hospital, so I had thousands pay out from that!

Sure the weather sucks and the economy is stillfaltering, but at least we're in good hands if we have an accident.
