I can tell you plenty about being raped by the system!!!!! You have no clue what that is really like. I am glad, for your sake, that you have “planned” for “eventualities”, but have you planned for ALL of them? I doubt that very much. Not many of us are fortunate enough to have any extra funds left over once the bills and taxes are paid. Many of us have had our 401(K)s pretty much wiped out by the economic “downturn” and the raiding of pension funds to cover corporate debt.... We have nothing left. And the big ponzi scheme that is Social Security is anything but secure. They’ve raided those funds, too. Those who perpetrate fraud, and I include sitting Congress Critter, should be shot. We can’t recall them for perpetrating fraud against us, we can’t even try them - their buddies in the courts just wink at it all.
I am sick to death of people who sit in self-righteous judgement of others and call them hard luck cases. A healthy and sober session of self-examination and an attitude adjustment are needed. I pray you never have to experience what my friend Monkey Face is dealing with every day. Than again, maybe a dose of it will cure you!
Evening, y’all. Did you figure out the commercial value of Dick Cheney’s mechanical heart? Will we see it on “Antiques Roadshow”?
My Spanish choir threw me a baby shower this afternoon. They had me completely fooled - told me they were arguing about what music to do later in the month, and I had to mediate because I’m the officially educated hispanic liturgist. Sneaks. I don’t think I’ve had a shower since before Anoreth was born.
Now I have enough tiny pink clothes for a year with the Dionne Quintuplets, I think. There are two or three more little girls expected in the homeschool association in the next three months, so re-gifting is possible. Or, if Baby Whosis spews like some of the siblings did, I’ll be glad I have lots of outfits!
It has begun raining here. The cats are blaming me. Someone walked through the kitchen with something strange on his shoes/feet/paws, because Jake was sniffing the floor, rolling over, sniffing the floor, rolling over. Weirder than usual for Jake.
Thanks, LoM.
It was all I could do to bite my tongue, but as with my nasty neighbor, I refused to lower myself to the level s/he was was trying to bait me on.
God is my Judge, and no other. I refuse to be sucked in by someone else’s self-righteous judgement of me and my life. No one knows but me, what I have REALLY had to endure. Ignorance and stupidity of my situation are the least of my worries.
I refuse to curse anyone with what I have, but I also send a cautionary statement: Beware: What goes around, comes around.
And I am experiencing the beginnings of a migraine headache, dang me. I love you, Girl. And if I could, I would be there to help you.
I’d like to post one sobering fact and then lay it to rest.
In September, my husband developed debilitating pain and began to decompensate in the physician’s office. Fortunately, the hospital was in the same complex. He was admitted, MRI’d, hydrated, medicated, dx’d w/renal calculi, and released the following morning all better, thank the Creator. The bill for one overnight stay was >$12K.
Fortunately, we have insurance.
Now, how well do you suppose you’re prepared for a few of those episodes?
Just a bit of consciousness raising here.
