		<description>Thanks for your article. I would love to say a health insurance broker also works best for the benefit of the actual coordinators of a group insurance policy. The health insurance broker is given an index of benefits needed by a person or a group coordinator. Such a broker may is seek out individuals or coordinators which best go with those requirements. Then he presents his referrals and if the two of you agree, the particular broker formulates a legal contract between the two parties.</description>

Take care and once again, welcome back.  :)

		<description>::::Joining CG on the nutbar cartwheel turning express:::: YAY! Ahem, you owe us some serious blogging young lady. Now, you do remember some of the very few advantages of retail, right? You can: 1. Quietly and subtly mess with people, not so much that they notice, but just enough to keep yourself amused during long retail day. Remember, I was once a fragrance model, they&#039;ve got that down cold. 2. People watch like a fiend, and make up back stories to entertain yourself. 3. Remind yourself how much better than living on rice and water this is, and that you&#039;re getting material for your best seller while simultaneously taking time off of purgatory. 

Glad to see you back, inconclusive or not!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  ROTFL!!  I have &quot;guilt&quot; when I &quot;mess with people&quot;, and I&#039;m unsure if I could do it subtly, to tell the truth.  I have a bit of a block when it comes to &quot;subtle&quot;.

People Watching, now, is my main hobby - and is probably why I have been a writing hack since the age of about 7.  Working that up to Professional Writer has been my problem.

I LIKE rice and water!  If I could continue to get by with my &quot;unemployed&quot; status as well as I have been, I would not be trying to get a J.O.B. to begin with, but, unfortunately, my reserves are pretty much tapped (and I want my vehicle), so... keep those fingers crossed!

As for the serious blogging owed... I agree.  I&#039;d guarantee a time and day for my next post, except that every time I do that, something comes along to screw it up.  Maybe you&#039;d better cross your toes, too....  ;-) &lt;/em&gt;</description>

It&#039;s about time gal...don&#039;t make an old man wait so long for it - feed my brain!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Oooh, wait for it, Mushy!  I&#039;ve got some cool &quot;Ruby Surprises&quot; coming up for you!  Just a day or two, now, I think (I have a driver that&#039;s not cooperating and must be sworn at properly before I can edit something).&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Fingers are tightly crossed that your new job comes through, and that it&#039;s more fun and satisfying than you expect. Fingers of the other hand are crossed that you don&#039;t take such a long blogging break again. I missed you! Welcome back!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  I think I&#039;ll like the new J.O.B. - at least while I&#039;m still &quot;larnin&#039; the ropes&quot;.  The money will feel like a fortune, too, after living on such a tight budget.  

P.S.  I missed you, too.  Hell, maybe I&#039;ll even find some time to go visit YOUR blog!  :-D &lt;/em&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:   Awww..... Jay.  (I DO rock, don&#039;t I?  :-D ) 

How&#039;s your dog, BTW?  Has it got rid of it&#039;s &quot;Christmas weight&quot;, yet, or are you still baking from the floor up?  Sorry - I could not resist.  I think of that story every time I see bake ware on sale at the mall... &lt;/em&gt;</description>
