greenleaves--
I'm glad for you that you can see a therapist weekly and don't have to pay. And now you have dental and vision too!! wow- that is so awesome! I've never had vision coverage my whole life but just the last couple years I've had dental-- it's sure nice!

You know I keep hearing about high taxes -- I found some statistics-- it states: Canada: 15%-29% (fed tax); France: 10%-48%; UK: 40% and US: 35%...... we have tax on merchandise here too and on services and not only that we have to pay a monthly fee for insurance, that's if you can get it, and most of us also have to pay -- in addition, a co-pay when we see a doctor-- it's rarely free if you have insurance. Like my co-pay is $40 dollars for each visit and my monthly fee to have insurance at this time is $250/monthly. I am only allowed a certain amount of days in the hospital-- no matter what-- so I'm hoping with all my might that I don't get very sick!!

Oh! I'm sorry again-- I'm back on the

jinny--
thanks again dear one. I understand your system there could use improvement-- I wish it could be better for all of you there.
Yes, things seem to be expensive just about everywhere-- here our gasoline is over $3.00 a gallon(just bought some today for $3.09)-- which is, about 1.5 pounds in UK money.... I think....
I hope you get to watch the film and please let me know what you thought-- especially how they depict things in your part of the world.

thank you both!
