Another week has motored by. Is this Summer moving along rather quickly or what? Catching a break from the oppressive heat. It's a VERY mild 67 degrees, FIFTEEN degrees below normal. I hope this isn't a preview of things to come this Winter.
Well, I am concerned over this new Health Care reform being touted. They are talking MAJOR cuts in Medicare/Medicaid. If this comes to fruition, I am sunk. I'd be living in a dumpster for sure. I am seriously worried. Rightfully so?
One of my favorite Respiratory Terrorists retired suddenly this week. Her Mother fell and broke a hip so she had been away helping her. Found out today (Saturday) she retired. Shirley will definitely be missed. The turnover rate here is incredible, for lack of a better word. New faces almost weekly now. I try to learn every one's name but I can't keep up with everybody. I so dislike talking to someone and not know their name.
Best get this to press and I have addresses to edit. Hope you all have a great week and I'll talk to ya next Sunday. Oh, before I forget, Reds update and it's sad:
3-7 in their last 10, a full 5.5 games behind the league leading Cardinals; 2.5 behind both Houston and the dreaded Cubs. They're just 4 games from the bottom dwelling Pirates. Reds did win last night at home against Milwaukee. That will reflect in next week's issue.

Well, I do have a few words concerning one of the topics in your blog today. I believe you do have a right to be concerned about Obama's new big idea of national health care. He's not telling everyone what will come down on the other side of this passing. Not only will it be more costly to the nation as a whole and require Catholic based entities to perform abortions but this plan will determine who deserves immediate medical attention and who doesn't. I've already called my state senators to oppose this vote. Thankfully, they are already against it. I would encourage everyone to really investigate what this would do and call their representatives to oppose it. It will affect lots of folks in your position, Don. I hope everyone who reads this thinks this through and what it means for us and those we care about...I'l get off my soap box now but it's just one more nail in the coffin of America as far as I'm concerned!! We need to petition a greater power...God Himself!!
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous I totally agree with and Don, something needs to be done and not soon, but NOW. The Idea of calling our State representatives is an excellent idea and I'll do just that tomorrow. Stay on your soap box.

And Don I know it's not funny but just the idea of you in a dumpster? Hmmmm is there a book deal in all that?
Finally Kansas has also had a cool front come through and the other night it was in the upper 50's. After all the heat Ellen and I just loved it.
