This is nothing that is not going to happen with Emporer Obama’s Affordable (ha) Health care for his subjects....everybody had better damned well get used to it if we can’t ride his ass out of town on a rail (a figurative ‘electoral’ rail - my lawyer has his rules!)

Not a whole heck of a lot they can do to stop the myeloma itself--- it's essentially an incurable disease ---but I sure hope she can get pain management and good palliative care so she can be comfortable as the disabiliies get more severe. She needs somebody to advocate for her and accompany her. It sounds like she hasn't got anybody :o(

Dear God, what an awful situation. Prayers up, please.

There’s an old couple in the neighborhood that hold a semi-regular garage sale. It’s pretty apparent that they would much rather be doing other stuff but it represents a way to make a little more scratch.

I’ve stopped and even bought a couple of trinkets. I hope the nanny-staters leave them alone.
