TIME FOR A NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM:

This is not mine, how I wish I could claim otherwise, but was posted today in the Coeur d'Alene Express, a local newspaper. It is penned by Rolf Nesse, MD.



I am very familiar with the issues at stake in the health care reform debate. So here are some things to think about when judging what you hear about reform efforts.

1 - Medicare is scheduled to have inadequate funds to fulfill its obligations starting in 2017.

2- Private insurance rates will double in 10 years if…

Love Is The Answer?





Hey New Guy. Welcome to the war zone. How was OCS?

Did you say "Love Is The Answer?"

Someone said that long ago, and they killed him. His name was Lennon.

It was just another practical joke,

Uninspired, without humor, and o-so very Symbolic.

If you aren't angry

then you haven't paid attention.

If you can't pay attention,

you really don't belong here.

And they've dimed you out already.



A plane will crash when a series of… Continue

The Winds of Change

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

8/14/2009



You are feeling the Moon's fragmenting tugs as she first pulls you one way and then another. You might try to disregard your changing emotions, but now you don't seem to have a lot of control over what you're feeling. Let the whimsical winds blow as they might; attempts to alter their direction are fruitless. Take detours and scenic routes when possible, for your experience widens once you step off the beaten…

“A chance to start a new.”



How often we wish for another chance

To make a fresh beginning.

A change to blot out our mistakes

And change failure into winning.



It does not take a special time

To make a brand-new start,

It only takes the deep desire

To try with all our heart.



To live a little better,

To always be forgiving.

To add a little sunshine,

In a world for which we’re living.



Never give up… Continue

The Flip Side of The Swimming Pool Theory

Just as an added thought, there IS a flip side to the Swimming Pool Theory of Life.

It also means you have to wash the sheets and towels first, because you KNOW if you just do the clothes, the sheets and towels will pile up forEVER.

Dr Dean Ornish Says, "Our Genes Are Not Our Fate"

There has been much discussion about disease being "hereditary". In this short video, Dr Dean Ornish says we can change our genes by changing our lifestyles:

• eat healthier

Love is a many splendored thing

Enjoying my new life with my new love Julie. She is a wonderful gift, we grow together each day and night.



Today I learn: To care, to acknowledge, to share, to accept, to be comfortable in my own skin, to understand, to be ok to be happy.



You know the hardest thing sometimes is to just accept that happiness is ok. I don't have to feel guilty for feeling happy so long.



Learning to ride the wave, the dips and crests, its all good. To have pursued happiness so… Continue

Thom Hartmann: Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican

One of my favorites from Thom Hartman. His recital of John Gray's Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican:



"A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican"



Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their… Continue

I am boring

Nothing earth-shattering to say, but I suppose I could ramble. It's been a trying week. Finding out that my second rental townhouse was in foreclosure on the 3rd anniversary of my Second Late husband's death (May 6) was very shocking. The landlord was over 6 months behind. The sheriff's sale was June 24. That means out by Dec 24. Got an email today that I owe a $387 waterbill. WHAT??? water/sewer/garbage are supposed to be included in the rent. talked to the City Hall, the bill is in HIS name.… Continue

Red Lights . . .

An urban cowboy circles

I'm sure he knows just Who

Then his girlfriend points away

behind me to the left -



body on the pavement

red lights at the curb

and they both go to gawk.



The body lays right there

Elvis is STILL dead.

But I may be able to get him rotating in his grave like a wind turbine, if this post generates half the attention that I think it could,,,



What did that guy mean to you, anyway? I see him mainly as the perfect encapsulation of what's wrong with the American Dream: That the American Dream is NOT set up for the well-being of the American citizenry themselves, but solely for the financial gain of a select few. No matter how revolutionary your idea, no matter how enlightening or… Continue

What is wrong with people in this country? How can people stand up in public and say some of the ridiculous things that they are saying about Obama and his health care plan? I saw a woman on TV today hold up a picture of Obama fixed up to look like Hitler and she said, with a perfectly straight face, that his health plan included a provision where the government would have "death panels" that would decide who lived and who died! That they would decide that certain people were too old or too… Continue
