I’m not sure how many people have actually read HR 3200.  It’s a long, tedious and quite boring read-1017 pages (must be why our representatives in Washington don’t read them before they vote)…
Wait, wait,wait…  Check out the title of this document: To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth [...]

This one is for you Joe. No, I really don’t think “Soviet Canada” as we are much closer to having fewer rights and freedoms in the US than the USSR. And if many of the leftists get their way, we’ll have the purges here too.

Senator Kennedy wants to have the plan to destroy healthcare in the United States ready for the next president to sign. Obama is ready.
If that doesn’t motivate you to vote for McCain/Palin, how about these?

Obama campaign allows fraud.
Obama wants your 401(k)
Obama okays killing babies born alive after botched abortions
There is a record number of fraudulent [...]

I’m still in need of a visit to the optometrist. I keep putting it off because, well, cash flow. Because we pay for all our medical bills until we hit our deductible (and dental and optical are not included) things for Doug & I get pushed back. (We’re about 6 months late [...]

A few months ago when I visited my gyno he mentioned that I should go and have a baseline mammogram. You know… Since I was having babies “late” and didn’t get my baseline done at 35 like all those “on time” women.
Anyway… I put the sheet of information and phone numbers [...]

Doug’s family has a history of heart disease which, quite honestly, scares me. He’s healthy now and is showing no signs of problems. (Which reminds me- it’s time for his physical.) But his maternal grandmother has had at least one heart surgery and I’m pretty sure his grandfather did, too, so the fear of [...]

I don’t regularly listen to Clark Howard- mostly because he isn’t on any local radio stations at times I can listen to him. But I used to because this guy knows how to stretch money. Recently he and his staff tried the Zenni eyeglasses and were pleased with the results.
Because they manufacture their own frames [...]

I’ve been having a lot of trouble with my right wrist lately. My hand will go numb when I sleep (and the pain of it will wake me!) or if I am doing something during the day and move it wrong a shooting pain runs through my arm.
Almost 15 years ago, when I was a [...]

Once upon a time you could say I knew a whole lot about breast augmentation. Not mine, of course; I’m all natural. But about half of the women I knew and saw on a daily basis had enhancements.
I will never forget the day one of my best friends called me to tell me that her [...]

When I was pregnant with both my girls I read… A lot. If there was information out there I read it. New technology. Old home remedies. Online. Books. Magazines. You name it, I read it.
On thing I looked in to very seriously when I was pregnant with Caelan was banking her Cord Blood. At that [...]

Remember the eyeglass website I mentioned a few days ago… ZenniOptical.com? Well, Fox News did a Deal or Dud piece on them.
Click to see Zenni on Fox
Since I had been putting off ordering from them due to not being completely sure of what I might get this test has made me think that it is [...]

I’ve got to break down and head to the eye doctor. It’s been over a year and I know I need new contacts… And new glasses.
It’s the glasses that kill my budget. The frames are so expensive. To save on costs I think I’m going to order my glasses from zennioptical.com. They have stylish frames [...]

Some one has to pay for this.

It’s past time for my annual eye exam. Every year I go to the eye doctor and every year my eyes get just a little worse. So every year I get more powerful contacts and glasses.
Doug, my brother-in-law Jon, and quite a few of my friends have had LASIK. I’m pretty jealous of that as [...]

I mean really…what government run bureaucracy is more efficient than the private sector?
If a private sector organization fails or does really stupid things, it should go out of business (cough, cough Bear Sterns). That makes room for people with a better plan or product to get the job done. The private sector has an incentive [...]
