You’ve Got To Get It!

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

This is the rest of my review for If Tomorrow Never Comes.  This was so good!  It takes a couple from childhood, into marriage and maybe out of marriage.  I’m not going to tell.  You have to read it yourself.  Just remember that this couple’s story will haunt you.  I don’t even know how to begin […]

She Weeps

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

How lonely sits the city that once was full of people!  How like a widow she has become, she that was great among the nations!  She that was a princess among the provinces has become a vassal. She weeps bitterly in the night with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has no […]

Spending the Night in the ER

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

I spent the night in the ER.  Well, okay.  I only spent three hours, but you know ER’s.  The wait can take forever and then the doc blows you off if you don’t have something interesting.  Wondering how I know?  I was an ER nurse for years.  Rarely did one of our docs do that, but […]

Health Care Up 300%

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

My employer recently changed insurance companies to handle our health care benefits.  It wasn’t difficult to see some immediate changes.  The employee’s payments nearly doubled.  The yearly deductible did double.  But it didn’t really hit me until I went to CVS to pick up a medication refill.  My co-pay zoomed up 300%.  I contributed $250 to an […]
