The Biker, The Lion, The Little Girl and NY Times - Some Saturday Humor - 08/29/09 08:15 AM
This was sent to me by a friend. Just thought I would share. Hope you enjoy.
 
Harley rider is passing the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, right under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings … (24 comments)

We Went There in Tears, We Left There With Smiles - Take the Time to Care Today! - 08/28/09 09:30 AM
Yesterday I wrote a post about the WSB radio Aflac Cancer Center Care-A-Thon. While on my way back to my office from an appointment, I was listening to Neil Boortz talking with a mother, Anastasia, and her son, Kenny, about the treatments he was getting at the Center. It was a very moving discussion and her closing comments almost brought me to tears.
Anastasia talked about how scared she was for her son, and the fears and terrors she felt as she entered the Cancer Center for the first time. And how she felt when they came out. Her testimony:

The Last of Four Brothers is Gone - 08/26/09 07:42 AM
Edward Kennedy, Senator from Massachusetts passed away last night, losing the battle against brain tumors. He was the youngest of four brothers and the only one to have died a natural death. His oldest brother, Joseph, was killed in WWII. John & Robert were both assassinated.
He was the third longest serving senator in U.S. history, having been in senate since 1962. He was a very colorful character, to say the least, both famous and infamous for his accomplishments and foibles in and out of government. He was a champion of civil rights, but also the presumed villain, by many, in … (20 comments)

Good News? Case Schiller Home Price Index Up in 2nd Quarter, But....... - 08/25/09 03:10 PM

It Appears That There Might Some Reason to Be Concerned With Government End of Life Counseling! A VA Death Book? - 08/21/09 09:08 AM
I read a Wall Street Journal Article yesterday by Jim Towey entitled The Death Book for Veterans. Mr. Towey's article was a bit disturbing. He states that this is required to be distributed to all VA patients, not just those who are aged. He did not have a lot of good to say about this 52 page booklet, entitled Your Life Your Choices, that is supposedly a set of instructions for how to prepare a living will (it says so right on the cover).
So, in the interests of fairness, I read the booklet for myself to see what it really … (22 comments)

New on the Market, Gravel Bed in Clear Flowing Stream - Perfect for Mallards With a Growing Brood of Ducklings! - 08/20/09 12:55 PM
I was reading a post today by Cynthia Bartch, it was all about the new Rainmaker tag that is displayed over some of our photos. But, this post is not about that. In the post, Cynthia uses the word crinoline, which if truth be told, if I were handed a pile of it I wouldn't recognize. But, like with most of us, I immediately associated it with a Simon and Garfunkle song that I have not hear, or thought of, in years, although it is one of my favorites.

It's Not About Quality Health Care: Obama, Dems Want to Cut Successful Program for 20% of Senior Medicare Recipients - 08/17/09 07:11 PM
President Obama, and many Democrats in congress want to cut a very successful senior medical program, Medicare Advantage. It currently provides service to about 20% of seniors on medicare. It is that piece of the program that is contracted out to private insurance companies, and, yes, it does cost about 14% more than standard medicare. According to the president Medicare Advantage is wasteful and amounted to "giveaways that boost insurance company profits but don't make you any healthier."
But is that really the case? Not according to a study that shows that those enrolled in Medicare Advantage, although they use … (6 comments)

Some Simple Suggestions for Improving Health Care Access in the U.S. Without a Government Take Over, Part 3. - 08/17/09 02:09 PM
This is part 3 in a series of steps we can take that I fell will both decrease health care costs (or at least slow the increase) as well as make it more accessible, and, most importantly, at least to me, prevent a government takeover of our health care system.

Thankful Thursdays - Mike's 52 Weeks of Thanksgiving - Some Downtime in the Smokies - 08/13/09 08:15 AM

We decided to take advantage of this boon and get some unscheduled downtime in the mountains where temperatures, day and night, woud be a bit cooler. So, we packed a couple of overnight bags, took the dog to her sister's and headed up to Gatlinburg, 3 days and two nights of nothing but relaxation.

reduce the cost of malpractice insurance, reduce the number of frivolous lawsuits continue to protect those litigants that really do have a case. Additionally, it should set reasonable caps on judgements, while still being equitable to the damaged parties.

Some Simple Suggestions for Improving Health Care Access in the U.S. Without a Government Take Over, Part 1. - 08/07/09 06:36 PM
It is apparant that the majority of Americans believe that there are some issues with health care costs, while the majority of Americans are satisfied with their health care. Also, it is evident, from poll after poll that the majority of Americans do not want what is being proposed by the president and by congress.
So, what can be done to change the availability of coverage? What can be done to control the increase of costs in health care?
This will be the first in a series of some things that I believe will help resolve the issues with health care … (24 comments)

Thankful Thursdays - Out of the Muck of a Funk - 08/06/09 08:26 AM
I admit it, I have been in some kind of a moody funk the last couple of weeks.

To be honest, I was just feeling down and it was keeping me from acknowledging anything to be thankful for.
