This coming faster than you might imagine. There are stores already with no checkers that when you go in your iPhone knows your in the store. Each item you walk out with is RFID tagged so your food is known by ID and your ApplePay account is charged for it on exit. This information is there immediately. Seattle, SF and other cities where minimum wage jumped are installing these system for not just grocery store but all other retail outlets. Autozone is doing it in the Bay Area.

They will connect this information to your annual physical, bloodwork and your Health Insurance. While it won't be mandatory to clean up your lifestyle it will be costly if you don't.

In a way, I don't have a problem with it in the abstract. If a private insurance company want to assess their risk before giving you a policy thats fine with me. Insurance companies do it all the time for Life, Home and Car insurance. The government doing it is another thing altogether. We're seeing what happens in real time when the government gets involved in healthcare.

You’re making me glad I don’t have health insurance and have DPC instead.

This was the PLAY makeup that little girls get for Christmas in their stocking. And CHEAP fingernail polish case she got more on my toes and fingers than my nails. She use to try to put rubber bands in my hair but it's kind of hard with a flattop.

The problem with play makeup is the little girls don't know the difference between that and the good stuff they need to stay out of. With that said, I'll say that she's starting to be able to do fairly decent makeup

Too bad I don't have one of those iPhone thingies, huh?

But you're right...

Nope. Has the same problem most iPhones have. I don't like the "candybar" form factor. Just an invitation for breakage.
