		<description>Thanks for your short article. I would like to say a health insurance brokerage also utilizes the benefit of the actual coordinators of your group insurance. The health insurance professional is given a listing of benefits looked for by someone or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker does is seek out individuals or even coordinators that best match those needs. Then he presents his ideas and if all sides agree, the particular broker formulates a binding agreement between the two parties.</description>

		<description>A great story Les...sadly it reminded me of the two little bunnies I killed with the mower last week!  Strange, but their instinct is to hunker down in the grass and remain motionless...not a good strategy for lawnmowers, but that instinct was imprinted long before mowers came along.

Strange too is how the name Ruby makes me smile and feel so calm.

Thanks.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Oh, I know that feeling well, Mushy - her name invokes that in me, as well.

So, seeing as how the meat was all cut up for you, did you make stew?&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t cry either Les, but I loved the story and am so glad to hear from Ruby again!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  There, see?!  You know a good steak when you see one, too!

Pssst!  Ruby&#039;s in the previous post, too, in case you missed it...&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Dude, what a buzz kill. I fell in love with the deer in four short paragraphs and now you&#039;re telling me Mr. Hobbit had to shoot it out of mercy.

(sniffles)

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Yeah, that&#039;s what I do here, Shetbag - make you laugh... make you cry... make you want to throttle me.

Cheer up!  They prolly had steak for dinner that night!&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>There is just something gentle and innocent about deer.  Even fiction deer.  When &lt;!--nocrosslink_start--&gt;my daughter&lt;!--nocrosslink_end--&gt; was about 5 we took her to see a movie &#039;Bambi&quot; and &lt;!--nocrosslink_start--&gt;my daughter&lt;!--nocrosslink_end--&gt; cried at that movie.  So naturally Ruby would shed some tears when she remembered the outcome of the deer story.  I&#039;ll bet it was like going on an adventure looking through Ruby&#039;s photos.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  It sure was!  I saw the cutest picture of her daughter and one of her sons when they were wee little... she&#039;s THINKING about allowing me to post it.  &quot;THINKING&quot; generally turns into &quot;NO&quot;.

Dammit.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Great story, but I can see why she almost had tears in her eyes when she told the story. I would, too.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Yeah, so did Ky, when she read the post.  Me, not so much.  I wonder why that is - unless it&#039;s that I enjoy venison.  A lot.  ;-) &lt;/em&gt;</description>
