Have you heard about this? I just had to add it to my blog in hopes that it reaches as many people as possible. Please read and respond to this. Thank you!
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana!
Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same health care plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt).
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his website and sign his petition (very simple – just first, last and email). I have immediately done just that at: http://fleming.house.gov/index.html. Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families. But you know me, I speak what’s on my mind and I think this man deserves a big round of applause for making sure the health care plan is followed by all, including those in the Senate and Congress!!!
The passing of Patrick Swayze is a great loss to the entertainment business but even more than that, to his family. This man was one heck of an actor and man could he shake his butt!! That’s what he told Barbara Walters that he wanted to be remembered for. I had never seen this performance of Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi before but it shows me just how very much they loved each other. My heart goes out to Lisa and the rest of his family. Enjoy as he would have wanted us all to.
There has been a lot of debate on just how old is too old to drive. Well that’s not as easy a question to answer as you might think because there are some people that are still as sharp as a tack when they’re 90 but they may or may not be able to drive. Here’s a good example of when it’s time to quit.
I know it’s supposed to be a short week but I swear this week has been about the longest week since I can remember when. Maybe it’s because it’s after a holiday weekend. Maybe it’s because I had a lot of catching up to do since it’s only a four day week. Maybe it’s because I needed a couple days to recuperate after the long weekend. Who knows!!
No I do not mean the restaurant or what ever it is, I mean ‘Thank God it’s Friday’!! What a long week. I am so looking forward to a three day weekend. I need time to recharge myself. Do you know what I mean. I have been walking around in a complete fog it seems lately.
I guess it’s just from overload at work and trying to do too much at home at the same time. I’m sure I’ll find something to keep me busy over the weekend instead of just relaxing like I should do. I’ll make a point to relax on Monday so I can at least go back to work without the ‘fog’ hopefully.
