Actually it's tomorrow. I'm watching Destination Truth now on SyFy and they are advertising the heck out of it.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Are you sure?
Surely I would have heard about this by now.
Is it because I'm Canadian?

Sometimes I really like teachers...
When I was in High School my English Lit teacher gave us a pop-quiz on the reading from the night before. It was from Wuthering Heights (which I still have not read - and I'm not quite sure how I passed that class, come to think of it). Anyway, I didn't do the reading because I was watching the Mets. So the question was something along the lines of "Why did Heathcliff leave the Moors?", to which I actually wrote, "he left because the Mets were playing the Braves and he wanted to see if Darryl Strawberry would hit a walk-off homerun to win the game". I got an F.

That's the way it works if your plan is an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization). If you have an HMO, then you need a referral to see a specialist and you can only see one inside your HMO. Otherwise, you'll pay a lot of money. And even with a referral, you'll usually have a copayment. With insurance plans as well, it's like you are being interviewed in a way. They can turn you down for preexissting conditions, and if you've been diagnosed with a certain condition within six months of receiving coverage, then they don't have to cover you for that condition. So for instance, if you are diagnosed with cancer and three months later choose to change health care providers, then your new insurance company can deny you a policy, and they can choose to not cover you for your cancer should they choose to issue you a policy at all.
It's complicated.

I usually did poorly on those quizzes regardless of whether or not I read the book. I always HATED those quizzes. I much prefer just letting us write essays periodically (open book) as we would go on throughout the year. Not to mention the books that we read (with a few exceptions) were the most boring, depressing things, so I was never interested in reading them. If I'm not interested in something, I'm not going to remember what I read. Even now in college, I always take extensive notes when I read because it's the only way that I'll retain what I've read.
I do find it amusing that you didn't read because you were watching baseball. Sounds like something that

It's much easier here - just with far fewer options.
No HMO's. No Networks. No choice. No charge.
As I've already shared, during my dad's 4 1/2 months of cancer treatment, he spent 10 days in hospital, had a bone scan, biopsy, CT scan, PET scan, 35 radiation sessions, had a hydromorph contin infusion pump, weekly visits with his oncologist at the cancer clinic, daily visits from a nurse for 3 months, and weekly home visits from a palliative care doctor toward the end.
The final bill was $0.00.
He received outstanding, exemplary care throughout; despite not being able to choose his cancer clinic, his oncologist, his palliative care doctor or his home care nurses.

Neither system is perfect. The health care system in Canada results in higher taxes and fewer options. Healthcare here ends up being expensive with complicated insurance plans, but at least I choose who I get to see. Canada probably has an edge, though.
My Primary care physician (like your GP) actually sold off most of his practice a few years ago and chose to keep a few patients, and my parents and I were among those he chose to keep. So in a way, he did choose me.
In a few years, I'll probably have to find a new PCP, but I know a doctor who I've been to a few times when I've been sick and my doctor's been out of town. I'll eventually switch to that doctor.

There was a major league pitcher in the 90s named Heathcliff Slocumb.

She can dye that blue and go as Marge Simpson next year.Sharknado costume made an appearance at Comic Con this year.
...It's pretty rough, but kudos for trying to convey such an awesome and amazing movie into only one head piece.
I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few.
I only saw one character, and it was a clear knock-off of Pluto.
The moment you went into the park you could tell it was a super cheap Magic Kingdom knock-off. There was a train station just like how MK does it. The Main Street was the exact layout of Main Street USA. Their candy/sweets store was even in the exact some location that the Main Street Confectionery is at MK. It was odd, however, that there was nothing at the end of Main Street... just trees and whatnot.
Here's the famous pig stand!
The waterpark was much better than the theme park... here's the wave pool. It was a bit chilly in the low 70s, especially when the sun went under.
This is Main Street from a sky lift.
And then here's the sky lift.
And that's all the pictures!
