Heinz Dilemma

A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife.
Should Heinz have broken into the store to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?

Sickness.

So I think that since I spend so much time on the computer anyways, and because I have found a place in my house where I can reach someone elses wifi, that I'm gonna start blogging again.

Hannah's sick. Like vomiting and fever. She needs to go to the doctor. If she doesn't, then I will be unhappy. I went to her house so she could use our thermometer, she doesn't have one, and I DO NOT WANT TO GET SICK!!!! so I left after like two seconds and didn't even go inside. I have not thrown up since a long time ago and it was the most horrible thing I can remember. I do not want it to happen so I am sorry, but I am not going to come within twelve feet of her while she's sick with this disease.

Update

So I'm almost out of my first quarter of college this year. I took Calc 1, Brit Lit, and Nutrition. Calc 1 isn't too hard but it's boring. my teacher is boring. British lit is boring as well. Nutrition is fun. I'm doing not bad in all of my classes and next quarter should be a lot easier. Psych, Antoropoligy, and some computer class. Plus a mythology class at the Highschool just for a requirement.

I recently read The Gathering Storm. It was freaking amazing!!! Brandon Sanderson totally transformed this series from simply good story, to good story with good story telling. It's so much better then before. Oh and the ending was so good I almost cried. For real.

Work is fun. It's getting rainy and cold so tons and tons of people are coming in for snow tires so we're super busy every day. When it snows it'll be even worse. Plus my tires aren't rly good for ice or snow. SA4 if that means anything to you.

Our xbox has recently gotten the red ring of death and we have to send it in. It'll be free, but it'll take like three weeks so we won't be able to play it till after Christmas.

Oh christmas. I've been told that Borderlanders for the 360 is good. I want a new ipod (mine has had water damage for forever plus now it's starting to glitch out sometimes). I want xbox live subscription cards. I can't really think of anything else specific. I like thought, but I also like money lol Oh and we need some sort of wireless router that my laptop can pick up on and the xbox too.

So I've decided that I'm going to save up for a downpayment on a car. The car is a Volkswagen GTI. The new one not the old one. It's more then I can afford to pay for with the payments so I'm trying to save up a whole lot of money for a down payment so the payments are less. If anyone wants to contribute to that in any way, I would be greatful.

I need to write something.......

hmmmm.......... Oh! When I go to Pikes Place Market in the beginning of the summer with Hannah, Henry, Sarah, Kenna, Arthur, maybe Galen, and other people, we'll go past the Utilikilt store on the walk there from the train. I'm gonna go in and buy one. I'm saving up for it, and maybe my mom will go halfsies with me or something. That would be pretty awesome. And I'm excited to have a kilt.
