[marlakay]

13. This might be funny but she is up 10 points on him

Rachel said and that is scary that people in Nevada are that dumb. Or they just are tired of Reid. That is the problem when you have to run an older dem like that, some of the young probably see pretty blond haired young woman and....

[polichick]

27. Wait until her uninformed followers finally hear about this - it'll take that crowd a while. nt

[jillan]

14. I just traded my best ranch hand to get rid of a bad case of the vapors.

Lol - good job dscc :)


Edit to ask - what are the vapors anyway?

[PBS Poll-435]

18. Near-uncontrollable crying

:)

[boppers]

Note the "treatments".

[Zephie]

15. Aww.. D:

I had to offer myself as an indentured servant to get my pox cured.

[avebury]

17. Lowden is a Member of the Board of Director of the Archon Corporation (www.archongroup.com)

I emailed Archon Corporation and, noting that Lowden is on their Board of Directors, asked them if they were going to use the barter system in their business dealings. LOL

[Cha]

24. Good! nt

[polichick]

32. Ha! Nice move - and welcome to DU!

[Hekate]

20. I hate to think what you'd have to trade for a Las Vegas boob job. I offered 2 goats for...

... bloodletting, and in my PS I asked "In Las Vegas, what would one trade for a boob job, do you think?"

Mr Hekate barters with our veterinarian -- as a software professional, he helped revamp their system completely, but it started as one friend to another. At one point he tutored the vet's young son in algebra for a year (a smart kid was being turned off from math by a bad teacher), which was strictly an act of friendship--but it still counted against the cost of our pets' care.

On the whole though, I think professionals like to receive money for their services, cash, check or credit card, as it is a good deal more versatile.

22. This woman reminds me of Peggy Noonan.

And she makes about as much sense.

[Jennicut]

25. I traded my 5 sets of overalls for bloodletting. It was a common practice on diabetecs back in the

1800's. I guess she thinks that would be good to go back to that...as I diabetic I cringe.

[catgirl]

33. Weird- I traded the exact same thing for bloodletting

Only I stated that extra large was not available. Haha.

[Sheepshank]

26. My Doc already has 10,000 chickens (healthcare is expensive you know)

and had his house repainted 5 times. Good thing this letter gives other bartering options!

[polichick]

28. A doctor just called in to Ed's show saying chickens won't pay for...

...his diagnostic equipment - but if there is a patient in dire need, he'll care for them without chickens. lol

[Born_A_Truman]

29. LOL!

I told hubby last night the next time we go to our doctor we should ask her if she prefers chickens or fish.

Imagine elderly patients needing treatment having to "paint" the doctor's home.

[BlooInBloo]

30. yay! Chicken Dance!
