Hi everyone!
Because so many people are in transit this weekend and we're still putting together our posting schedule, we're going to delay posting until the evening of Dec 1. Sorry for any inconveniences! We can't wait to get things started, and hope you all enjoy the fest!
Best,
Snarry Holidays mods

| How to ruin Thanksgiving |
| Public |
|
As I was basting the turkey about half way through the cooking time, I noticed that my oven's clock was still set on daylight savings time. So I reset it. When I went to check what should have been a finished turkey, I found that the oven had been turned off in the clock reset process. Everything is ready to serve but the turkey...
I apologized to my family. No one said that's ok. My nephew said, "I'm really, really hungry."
I feel like an idiot. How many years have I been cooking turkeys and never screwed up?
Edit: It was the best turkey I've ever made ... very, very moist. Maybe I should write down what I did! LOL!

So, today Trina wanted me to share with her some of my favourite music videos from when I was a kid. The first one I thought of was Too Funky by George Michael.
I played it for her and she asked me, then, why it was a favourite. I sat there awkwardly for a while, not quite able to explain it. My favourite was the model in the metal bikini suit thing. Embedding was disallowed. I still love this vid. After, I showed her Jeremy and Black Hole Sun. Then I showed her Schism, which she thought was cool, and Thunderkiss '65, which led to a very short viewing of Beavis and Butthead so she could understand the context in which I first saw the video.
Listening to Too Funky also makes me want to write porn again.
What are your favourite music vids?
Also, I snuck over to fanficrants today for one reason and another and was struck but the plethora of crap. I mean...most of my rants consist of "use the right word, plz" and "get a beta before I spork my eyes" and stuff like that. Though, I don't usually make posts about it. I just think it. REALLY HARD. I get rants about subtle bigotry/misogyny/etc within fics, but for other things, sometimes I just want to say stfu and read something else. I mean...isn't this what google chat is for? Bitching to your friends about stupid shit you've read but are too polite to comment on, and in that fashion, in public?

Happy November 16th! Your assignments are due today - if we haven't heard from you yet, we need to do so ASAP.
We are always happy to grant extensions, but if you need an extension, you need to ask us for an extension - your mods, contrary to popular belief, are not psychic, and do not know what you need unless you e-mail them.
snarryholiday@gmail.com for all assignment submissions and extension requests - and please include your user name (the one you used when you originally signed up, unless you've notified us of a user name change) so that we don't have to spend hours trying to figure out who snarryluver4ever@yahoo.com is.
Thanks for all the hard work you've put into making this a great fest - now all we have to do is get ready to enjoy all the wonderful Snarry! :)

| Health Insurance Rant!!! |
| Public |
|
I've been retired since 2002. My largest expense, by far, is for health insurance. I'm too young for five more years for Medicare. This means that I have to pay for my health insurance entirely out of my own pocket. When I shopped for health insurance, I found that no one wanted to cover me. I am overweight and I have asthma. Neither of these conditions have caused any problems, but the insurance bandits say that they could, so I have to pay ... and pay ... and pay. The only company that would cover me is one that my state requires that they cover "high risk" clients. I have no other choice at all in the state of Nebraska.
Tonight I got my rate raise for the next year. Now bear in mind that for the 7 years that I have had my insurance I have never met my $5000 deductable. So the insurance company has just taken my money and had to pay out nothing, $0 to date.
So because I'm such a good customer and have never turned in a claim that went above my deductable, they only raised my rates by an additional $140 per month or $1680 per year! My new premium will be only a few dollars less than one half of my after tax income!
Right now I don't want health insurance reform. I want insurance companies banned, outlawed and disbarred. I want their executives jailed! I want pure out and out socialized medicine! To hell with insurance companies, they are criminal organizations as far as I'm concerned.
My Senator, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, says he will not vote for Obama's health insurance plan if it has a public option. The man took $2 million in campaign contributions from the health insurance industry. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison as far as I'm concerned. The entire situation is so outrageous that I have no words to express my fury.
My only option is to raise my deductable to $10000. Even with that, my rates will still rise by $60 per month. I am so screwed!
