Title: OUCH Results
Post by don on Nov 1^st, 2002, 8:49pm

I beat the crap outta that "no vote" guy.

Only 55 people want to work towards better treatment.
Hmmmmm?

no excuses. Guilty.

Only thing I can tell ya is we are barely hangin here financially. Second year in the house and 3 kids. Not complaining. Not makin excuses. Just really frazzled :o

right now I sure wish I knew how to carve out a space where I could dedicate my energies in directions that cater to my needs and the needs of those I have come to feel close to. Just see stuck inside the core of family... ???

Nervous Nelly - I'm Sorry.....

Thats OK Kim

OUCH isn't primarily a financial endevour. In fact the membership fee has been eliminated.

OUCH is about a concerted effort to have our voices heard. 55 voices are not very loud in the world of insurance companies.

Good observation but Goliath wasn't motivated by financial gain and profit as are the Insurance companies.

"Show me the numbers" would have been Goliath's challenge to David

55 votes out of almost 400 members isn't that good. Especially when they were all e-mailed, reminding them to vote.

However, 55 votes is around 25 votes better than last year.

Challange:

Marty, Slammy and I are going to work on forming the first recognized chapter of OUCH, OUCH - California Chapter. Any of you other back-water, inbred states want to try to get it done before us? I challange ya.

O.K.....I'm willing to let my stupidity show here.

Since Don was running un-opposed, don't you think the low turn-out was because everyone assumed HE would win anyway?

And BTW Boob, I live in California. What can I do to help?

If I make the two hour drive and drink some beer with Ted will we win the challange?

How about if I make the 40 min drive to Don's, let milktoast piss on my BBB's and share an Trex neddle with him, will that do it?

Or, I could make the 40 min trip down RT9 and say a prayer with, Ree....will that do it?

BTW: I voted for you Don you Nixon wannabe;)

Alright.... I dont like this idea of the California people being so special.

I would be willing to help, as much as I could anyone who wanted to do something in Maryland. Anyone out there??

Just a thought :)

State chapters are a great idea.

A more organized concerted effort can be facilitated that way.

A good date is one that costs little money and you get lucky in the end.

I am in NJ and would be interested in a northeast chapter...but getting together could be difficult. I am gone 2 weeks of what is left in Nov. and 3 weeks in Dec.- weather gets funky in Jan. Anyway-if there is an attempt, I would like to know- :) :) :)
