New scam and why I can't frigging sleep..

So since the VA changed my meds I just can't sleep; I hope it does not get as bad as a friend who lives in Mobile. So anywho I was traveling around the net and I came up to mouseprint . com and thats a great site about fineprint and attempts to deceive the public.

So your in the market for a new I-Phone well just read on....

Leave it to marketers to create the tantalizing proposition of getting more for less when you buy their product. Both the new Apple iPhone and Tide 2X are making similar claims. For the iPhone, Apple says you get twice the speed for half the price. In fact, the first generation iPhone sold for $399, while the just released 3G version sells for $199. So far, so true. One catch is that you have to sign a two year contract. But the sneakier one is this:

*MOUSE PRINT: The data plan for the new iPhone is $30 a month, compared to $20 a month for the old one. Over a 24 month period, you will be paying an additional $240 to AT&T for the phone, which, in essence makes it 10% more expensive than its predecessor — not half the price.

Have you told the VA that you can't sleep? That's not good, especially if you end up like Allen. 4 days? I'd die.

Insomnia is a motherfucker. Ambien works but I found it to be just as addictive as any other sleeping pill (if that matters).

Fuck the I-Phone. I played with one at work the other night and I like my Moto-Q just as much. If you want the internet, buy a fucking laptop. LOL... I really dislike Macs, period, to be honest.

Yes they have given me more pills and oddly enough I have enough pills to keep Bert happy for a very long time; I don't want pills I just want to be able to function normally without the usage of pills. I know I need them to be able to function and my doctor has told me it will be a week or more until my body gets used to these new meds.

Until then try drinking the chamomille tea or whatever. I've heard that helps. I've seen tea in the grocery store with the brand name of Sleepy Time with a little teddy bear in his pj's on. Not sure if that's what it's for though, just thought the name and the bear was cute.

I hope you're selling the meds to Bert or getting your moneys worth out of him somehow.
