On auto insurance quotes

One place I wouldn't like to get auto insurance quotes is here in The Philippines. I have driven in this country, but I'm extremely reluctant to do so now. Yesterday I was hit by a car which assumed I was going one way and felt like they didn't have to yield to me. Luckily for me, it was going slowly and so I wasn't hurt. If I'd been hurt I doubt anything would happen to them. Plus, the other night when meeting up with real heavy traffic, my friend went around it by going off the road wherever possible -- as did everybody else. I saw a policeman just looking on. I told my friend that if people in the US drove like this they'd call in extra police vans to take everybody to jail.

On Medifast coupons

I recently read the novel THE WORLD OF SUZIE WONG by Richard Mason, and have rarely been so disappointed. First, I've knocked around Asia a little bit, though I've never been to Hong Kong outside of its airports, but I've met other women who are something like Suzie. Plus, years ago I watched the movie, and was knocked out by it. The movie is one of those rare movies that is actually better than the novel that inspired. Its storyline is far tighter and more focused, and better plotted. When Mason wants Suzie and the man to get together, he just kills off Suzie's reason for continuing to work at her trade -- literally kills her baby. She's briefly grief-stricken, but then takes up with him as though the baby never existed. It destroys almost all sympathy for it. Neither have anything to do with Medifast coupons, but the novel then goes on to give Suzie TB, but she recovers thanks to going to jail, then sends her to London without mentioning the fortune teller's prophecy. The English woman he dates briefly is not the daughter of the bank president offering him employment when he desperately needs money. He seems to have plenty of money for buying San Miguel beer (San Migs) at the bar.
