  1. Without judging, I don't quite think the issue raises to the level of Malpractice.
  2. There is a good possibility there will be an alternative to the shipping issue. It will probably be blue trucks, with a big "A" painted on it, and it might require shipping using Amazon, but still......choices are a good thing.
  3. It must be said, though, she should feel honored in the embrace of the black handed DR.X. Many have tried.....
  4. I screwed up...I thought it was about Kounts Kustom Kars. Change the C to K and I am all in.
  5. "Oh, ill fated Balaclava, on St. Crispins Day, I shad upon our Honor......." Lord Raglan
  6. I am glad you identified your location in the photo, because I was having a little difficulty wondering where you were in the picture.......the disguise is amazing. And subtle. Very subtle.
  7. That is very kind of you. I will one up your stress....change your tires, mount and balance, drive 100' and have the wheel come off...and all you wanted to do originally was have a nice relaxing cup of coffee after the tire change morning chore was finished.
  8. It is not a "joke". It is a fact. Paper, BTW, is consumable. I don't know Simpsons episodes from bupkus. I am impressed by your institutional zealousness, though. It is Saturday. Relax and enjoy the day.
  9. I had a 5 year old relative that would tear pieces off comic books and eat them. Over and Over and Over. It became such a novelty that other (equally odd ) relatives would bring comics to the 5 year old to experience the phenomena, and laugh themselves into a state of euphoria while feeding the kid. The 5 year old, now 44, is and has been for a number of years a comic book collector. So, the commodity thing is subject to interpretation.
  10. Sheesh. Really? If you want to attempt to prove Mr. Jaybucks is wrong, using the positions you have stated, that is certainly your Right.
  11. If that is the way you feel, so be it. It is sort of like when you were a child, telling your neighborhood friend you were going home and taking the tonka toys with you , because he disagreed with you. But, OK. That is not interaction, though. It is pouting.
  12. Um, no. But, no harm no foul. SCOTUS does not care what you think. BTW, your positions were already submitted and argued. Read the Decision, and submitted documents.
  13. I think you need to make up your mind.... no offence intended at all, but it is confusing what your position is.
  14. That does not change the reality that it is not bad for Amazon. I guess we will wait and see. Note that back in last Nov., and again in late March/early April, after Amazon was delving into med provider scenarios, that triggered there "hey, this could be a good thing" position. Again, compliance costs...it would not be a mere couple of thousand for mom/pop/small business enterprise. I think you are misunderstanding my post. You are now saying "..well, yeah, but that is because....". So, is it or is it not a benefit to the big boys? Amazon?
  15. Anti-competitive, and a tax hike on the consumer, considering the present SCOTUS Ruling, is a benefit. Consider compliance costs to small business,...and while there is the "free" fed software option, it does not work, does not address compliance collection, and distribution of same....... those compliance costs are already in place at Amazon/Walmart/Ebay etc., and 3rd. party sellers would jump on that bandwagon in a heartbeat to avoid the compliance cost aspect. It is a win. Even Amazon changed from an "I don't like you" stance to an "I like you" position, joining Walmart/Ebay, etc., because the giants will all be on a level playing field, and will also be able to recoup compliance costs. I could go on and on and on...but that is a short answer. Consider that the medical insurance providers have already been thru these scenarios, especially DME purchases and Medicare/Medicaid DME purchases and taxation of same, and pharma purchases. it will be fine. I know next to nothing...scratch that.... I know nothing about investing or stock markets, etc., but I am quite certain the stock drops for the Amazons/Walmarts/EBays etc. after the SCOTUS decision is due to a total misunderstanding of the benefits vs. risks.
