We need health care reform!

August 13, 2009

Why?

Ends Discrimination for Pre-Existing Conditions: Insurance companies will be prohibited from refusing you coverage because of your medical history.
Ends Exorbitant Out-of-Pocket Expenses, Deductibles or Co-Pays: Insurance companies will have to abide by yearly caps on how much they can charge for out-of-pocket expenses.
Ends Cost-Sharing for Preventive Care: Insurance companies must fully cover, without charge, regular [...]

Republicans good for balance

February 3, 2009

Sure, we need an economic stimulus and we need it fast. However, we need to make sure it is stripped of wasteful spending. Being a fiscal conservative, I’m with the Republicans on this one. Sorry, Mr. President, but it’s time to take charge and stand firm against wasteful pet projects that won’t do anything to [...]

Verizon FiOS days are numbered

January 14, 2009

Well, at my household that is. Verizon FiOS, being the greedy smucks they are, required a 2-year contract for our TV/internet package. We’re at the 1 year mark and the service has only worsened since it was first installed. Our DVR works a quarter of the time, wireless is out half the [...]

Until 2009

December 23, 2008

After a rough trip to Texas this past weekend to visit my dying grandfather and my Alzheimer’s stricken grandmother, I’m excited to head off to sunny Florida for the rest of the year to visit more family and friends.

Camp Canyon just for kids in West Virginia

April 15, 2008

I sometimes think I’m still a kid. I would jump at the chance to head back to wild and wonderful West Virginia for Camp Canyon!
During a three week camping session, campers enjoy great instruction in activity areas that they choose, have a chance to explore new activities and most importantly, make new friendships with fellow [...]

Rocking in Logan

December 6, 2007

I’m sitting here at Logan Intl. Airport in Boston rocking in a chair looking out as planes land and take off, land and take off. The sky is crystal blue. I say crystal because it is just below freezing outside. The sunny blue sky is deceiving. Christmas music is playing in the background.
It [...]

Must be a Monday

September 10, 2007

Had a dentist appointment today that ran late and the person who cleaned my teeth didn’t seem to know how to work the tools. I have a possible cavity and have to go back in October.
Found out my dog was attacked by a coyote and was found dead behind the house.
It hasn’t been a [...]
