Well duh! (Response to OH-NO NOT SOCIALISM peeps)

The link to the article below the cut

( The average family with health insurance shells out an extra $1,000 a year in premiums to pay for health care for the uninsured, a new report finds. )

Point is, we pay either way. We'd all pay less if the government took over as the national insurer. (Frankly, as little as I trust the government, I trust insurance companies even less.)

And, for heaven's sake, cover EVERYONE, American or not, legal or not. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it makes better business sense than excluding anyone.

(And don't get me started on the idiocy of mandates requiring everyone to have health insurance. Most States require you have car insurance, but, well, chances are that the idiot who sideswipes your car doesn't have any. Because it's too expensive. Because of uninsured drivers.)

Um...

I'm sitting here in front of the computer and feeling... lost. I've been needing to finish that story for so long that it's ingrained in my psyche as a permanent item on my "to do" list. Kind of like laundry. I sort of flounder when that's all done, too.

Unlike laundry, however, this isn't going to need me in a few days time. It's done.

Yes, there are other stories that need my attention, and I will turn my attention to them soon, but... but... but.....

I guess I need to start on my drawble prompts. Get my mind off the fact that I am done. I now only need to wait for the betas to work their comma magic.

(Oh, and as a heads up, I will be posting chapter 25 tomorrow at some point. =D )

Drawble for duniazade SS/HG and Tree

I think I cheated because I'm pretty sure this took longer than half an hour to make. But, it didn't take longer than 1.5 hours including dinner prep, eating (x2), Babe wrangling and all that fun, non-drawing stuff.

X-posted to hpcon_envy even though Duni's prompt didn't come from there.

Drawble for severely_lupine: Neville and Samwise

Two awesome, kickass characters who happen to be the hero's backs.
