Good morning.

[elisi]

Changed my layout - v. pretty Christmassy stardust theme made by awmp (more here).

Today is Darcy's birthday, so won't be around much, if at all.

And of course girlpire has just posted the final part of 'Friday'. (I'll have to save it up... ::meeps::)

Not to mention that SA have sold LJ to a Russian company (?) - gotta say I didn't see that one coming. *shakes head*

Sorry - have to run. Have a nice day all of you!

Very nice. Found a very very weird and never ending animated video called Pork. It features pigs eating themselves, and wearing ham earrings. Warning to stop it, you will have exit the whole site. http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Pork/
I tried to listen to the whole thing but stopped at 15 minutes.

Found it at a blog run by a guy called Stonehead, he is in Scotland has a small croft/small farm, raises Berkshire pigs and a rare breed of chickens. Intresting site, not every day do you find a blog telling you how to kill a chicken and then debleed the sucker, humanely acourse.

Oh wow! What a pretty layout.

Many happy returns of the day to Darcy. Hope you both have a good time.

Happy birthday to Mr. Darcy!

[elisi]

Isn't it just? And so *warm* - which is important given how COLD it is at the moment. :)

(And your icon is lovely!)

[elisi]

Oh - Happy Birthday to your other half - Hope you have a great day
Thank you! And as it happened he had the day off work, so we've had a wonderfully relaxing day + family came round in the evening.

And just had to say I love that banner
I saw it, and just *had* have it... (even though I had to delete an icon to upload the new one).

[elisi]

Thank you! And it was the big three oh today! :)

How very bizarre. Although that's the internet for you... ;)

Heh. I come from a country that eats whales (pilot whales, *not* endangered!), so I'm pretty used to this stuff!

[elisi]

Oh wow! What a pretty layout.
I keep just staring at it. (I was thinking what to do, since it was Christmas, and had just remembered about the gorgeous banner you made for me last year when I saw awmp's post...)

Many happy returns of the day to Darcy. Hope you both have a good time.
Thank you. We've had a very nice & relaxing day. :)

[elisi]

Thank you! :)

Happy birthday to Darcy!!

I am sure whale eating goes on in the US. Not just in my household, pig head eating maybe. I really found this guy to be fascinating, espically as talks about politics and healthcare in Scotland. I didn't know it was that hard to get medical care or surgery from the public health system. Is is hard to get antibodics ? The US's system acourse is alot worse. You want any healthcare, you have pay for an arm and leg. Still I would thought the UK system would be better. Maybe not as much, do y'all have to pay for healthcare ? I know now their is a private healthcare in Scotland at least. And he ends up with a doctor who can't speak English at all. Acourse that has happened here too.

Oh, what a pretty banner~!
I keep staring at it... (and your Tara one is gorgeous too! Meant to comment but forgot!)

And thank you for the birthday wishes, he had a lovely day. :)

[elisi]

Thank you - and thank you! :)

(And your layout it gorgeous too btw! Forgot to comment!)

[elisi]

Thanks - twice. I'm mesmerised by my stardust. :)

[elisi]

awww, I really like the color scheme you've chosen to go with it!
It's actually not far off what it was before - just a lot brighter. (Makes me wake up!)

And thank you! :)

[elisi]

Thank you - and he had a lovely day! :)

[elisi]

do y'all have to pay for healthcare ?
Oh no, we have the NHS (National Health Service). Of course people can go private if they like, but essentially everyone can get treated for free. :)

[kitmarlowescot2.livejournal.com]

Huh..so you don't have to pay for anything. What about equipment or meds ?

[elisi]

Depends on your level of income. If you're low income, you get stuff for free. (The downside is that of course you're very dependent on your local health services - what they call the 'post code' lottery. So one place might have a lot of money for cancer drugs, but in the next county they don't...)

[kitmarlowescot2.livejournal.com]

So people could die waiting for treatment, still better than here. I am paying 200 pounds or more a month for health insurance, and god the hassles it gives me. And then I will only have this insurance for another six months, after than nothing. So I could end up paying ten thousands or dollars or more if I end up sick in the hospital, or ER.

[elisi]

still better than here
Yes, rather. It's not perfect, but... I am so happy we don't have that extra worry hanging over our heads.

[kitmarlowescot2.livejournal.com]

I can guess it equals out to the more expensive living and gas expenses. Because the US dollar is so weak know, you coming over here you get two dollars for every pound. I have heard alot people from the UK are coming to the US just for shopping trips.

Srsly? Wish I had money for that kind of shopping trip...

Lol, yep for real. The Canadians will do it too, espically on Black Friday. And they will wear their new clothing home so they don't have to pay tariffs. Acourse Americans will go to Mexico and Canada for cheap meds as well.

Well it's easier to nip across a border, than an ocean - the English go to France for cheap stuff f.ex.
