Free Physical Therapy

When I got out of the subway today, there was a man preaching Jesus Christ the Savior will come and save all of us. As I passed him by with my cane, out of the blue he said "Free physical therapy!" So I guess in NYC, you can still get religion with a side of free physcial therapy, all before 9:30 in the morning. 

That being said, I just fail to see the logic in the flyer give-awayer (?)  I have a bag in one hand, a cane in the other hand, why are you shoving the flyer into my face? Why? 

So my new obsession is In Treatment. I was sitting flipping the channels & trying not to fall asleep with my icepack yesterday and stumbled upon the "making of in treatment" so today in the morning as I was getting dressed I turned it on. ME LIKE IT! And definitely beats watching the Real Housewives of NYC. I highly recommend! I mean it's no secret that I used to go for therapy weekly so to me this is very interesting. And it helps that the episodes are short. I guess I'll catch up on them when finals are over. 

I just watched our Governor & guy in charge of the health department in NYS give a conference about swine flu. Some reproter asked "What's the big deal considering how many pple die from regular flu. Beyond the novelty, what should we be worried about? How is this flu different if symptoms seem the same?." I think it was very amusing that governor Patterson answered the question and started with "That's an excellent question. What I find interesting about this flu is that it (now I am not quoting) is different in US than in Mexico. In Mexico there is pollution blah blah blah." I think the man was asking something totes different & perhaps the MD in charge of health should've answered? My mom heard on the, where else, Russian radio, that if someone sneezes in the subway car you should leave the subway car b/c one sneeze can infect everyone. Well, yeah, you try doing that in rush hour. 

In the future I'm hoping to put here sites to the things I  read on line. However, it's finals time so not going to happen for a while. But

Now courtesy of Deborah "Joke of the day: "The economy is bad. It’s so bad, third graders in China are being forced to take second jobs."

Also in class today my prof gave us the "policy" question that we'll have to answer on the final. He specifically said it's a 30 min question that we can prepare at home and just copy on the final.  He said it's a fun question that we should just think about given today's economy. A girl raised her hand and asked "Professor, what's the word limit?" Ummm, dude, this is NOT a competition in who can type the mostest words in 30 minutes. I loved his reaction - sad/bemused look with a "you can answer this in 1 page or 4 paragraphs and it should only take you about 15 min to retype." 

Ok I am saving this for last b/c i just need to get it out of my system, but it's mean so yeah. Anyway, a girl I know got herself a Hebrew name - Nissan. All I could think about immediately was "Why not BMW?" and then i couldn't help but think of others - it's like things that sound dirty but are not! 

1.  "Nissan - only 199 a month for well qualified buyers" 

2.  "Nissan -cash back due at lease signing and low APR!" 

3. Nissan - shift_the way you move! http://www.nissanusa.com/?dcp=ppn.16575170.&dcc=0.95072658

4. How much is Nissan paying her?

5. I looked up the meaning of the name - ummm, it's a BOY's name

6. Toyota - a smart way to keep moving forward.... 

k it's out of my system. But really, how do you purposefuly choose a stupid name like that? I mean parents get Coca Cola to pay them to name their child Coca Cola & you, as a girl, pick a boy's name that happens to be a car to be your name for free? NFG...
