November 02 It's November Already?I find it so hard to believe that it is November once again,
and I still don't have half the things done that I needed
done on our home. Without our ol' trustie rustie pick-up
it makes it even harder to run things here an there. So,
we've come to the conclusion that we're going to get
another one. Now, when will this happen? I know not,
but while sitting on my great Throne of empowered
decision making I've come to a wonderful conclusion,
borrow one.
Or whatever works.
October 20 Keith Said the Truth. When a friend of mine told me about this video, I was just floored about Keith's story of what he went through with not only his father while in a hospital, but what of 10s of thousands of uninsured who don't get the kind of care that his father did. There's 7 segments to this video production in which he talked for a whole hour about what should be done to do the right thing, the moral thing; in light of the upcoming H1N1 flu pandemic and for those to come. Listen carefully and learn what Keith said to be the truth.

August 16 A Chill Pill Needed for Health Care Debate.
Does anyone else feel that with all these town meetings, that chill pills need to be handed out prior to going into the auditorium? People don’t seem to have all the facts, but they’ll listen to other people tell them the “facts,” via radio/TV. Yes it’s all of some 1100 pages long, some in Congress haven’t had a chance to read it, so let the fear mongering begin. It seems to me that there is this great desire to keep people under your employers thumb, by threatening that, “if you leave here, you may not get any insurance for your preexisting condition.” Call me funny, but does that sound like Freedom? Or does your health care insurance company dictate what health care services it feels you should get? If some health condition that someone you love has, has already run through there limit of provided coverage. Where’s the great coverage then? If, you’re limited for the entire family to 2 – 5 million in total family coverage and just one of your kids get sick with some rare form of cancer, try an hope you have enough to help them to recover. When the parents run out of coverage from their employers or personal health insurance, you end up having to go to your State’s Title-19, if you’re lucky. If, your child becomes of age then they can apply for their own Title-19, hopefully, it’s enough. They’ll never get an insurance company to cover them ever again for it though, because it’s a pre-existing condition. If not, then you’re left with so much debt that they or you the parent will have to file for bankruptcy. Good luck with that after the Bush Administration changed the rules there. Death Panel Claims are Dishonest. Expresses Obama’s dismay that such a claim is being taken out of context. When the various town meeting’s become a shout fest, then who’s listening? Yes, we all have the Freedom of Speech and with that please, always remain civil. Nothing is resolved when angry heads prevail. However, in the mean time everyone’s health care suffers.
October 11 A Hug a Day, May Keep the Dr. at BaySomeone dear to me passed this site along to me. I believe it to be a good idea to read poetry and to revel in the love benefits of a hug therapy.
Thank you, Baby.
Your Hugs are always the Best. July 16 Have you ever gone to a feast?We went to our friends who love to barbeque. These folks not only have the gas grill, they've also got the black grill master grill. The later is for the hardy charcoal briquets style of barbecuing. We were treated to shrimp kabobs, and bacon wrapped shrimp, along with pork ribs, yum. The grill chef who also judges grilling contest midwest wide was our host. I watched as he reheated the sweet corn, that had been previously cooked, just to put the grill marks on the corn, delicious.
Then we were treated to coleslaw and little russet potatoes with long string green beans. Dill pickles, along with Red Lobster style bisquits. Sweet white Myers grape non-alcoholic juice to give the illusion we were all enjoying wine with our meal. Everyone but Marge started off with an O'doul's of course, but for the chef and myself we needed refreshment after the heated BBQ stint outside.
Topped it all off with a wonderful strawberry/red raspberry/blueberry dessert on a shortbread cookie crust, interspersed with pralines, that was the pride of Jo Anne's work for the afternoon. She also heated white chocolate and drizzled that over the entire dessert platter. Ahh, loves amour effect of chocolate. We provided the Blue Bunny Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Butter Pecan ice cream to go with our hostess's wonderfully scrumptious dessert.
We talked into the evening, all about the best laid plans of mice and men. Dreaming as it were about where as we are growing older would we like to retire to, etc.
As we took our leave, we said our goodnights and thank yous, etc.
