Interested in your thoughts/feelings about


Posted: Jun 29, 2010

This is not exclusively political, but since it pertains to current national events, I am posting here. 

I am interested in hearing any and all thoughts/feelings/ideas/frustrations regarding the Gulf oil disaster.   

I myself am stunned that we have been unable to prevent the oil from making land-fall.  I am not a babe in the woods, but I do believe that America brings huge resources to the table in terms of brain power and horse power.

I'm really concerned that the nation as a whole has lost its - ability to work together toward a common goal. nm

Can Anybody Give Me Any Thoughts About Some Health Symptoms I'm Having....any Thoughts Would BeMar 31, 2011
Hello all.  I have been an MT for 20 plus years, yet not being a doctor, I can't seem to put a finger on what may be going on with me, but I do have some ideas.  Ten years ago I had a bowel resection for an obstruction and have since developed 4 massive incisional hernia in my abdomen.  They don't hurt, but occasionally flareup and change and it sends me to the ER everytime because Im afraid they may have gotten incarcerated.  Over the past 6 months I have noticed t ...

Would This Hurt Your Feelings Just A Little ?Oct 03, 2010
My sis-in-law (my husband's twin's wife) and we have just loved this baby girl to death.  I buy clothes, jammies, make her hairbows on cute little headbands, a jacket, etc, I took off work to take my sis in law to the doctor for her 2 week checkup after having the baby when she couldn't drive.  I checked on her when hardly nobody else did.  She doesn't have a mom or dad.  I would pick something up if she needed it and take it to her.  Her husband even ...

Something I Think All Of Us Might Be Interested In.Jul 24, 2010
Week of May 17 – May 21, 2010This week in Washington, the House of Representatives took its first vote on the inaugural YouCut project winner: cutting $2.5 Billion from the Non-Reformed Welfare Program. Fed up with reckless spending in Washington, the American public flocked to YouCut and chose wasteful welfare spending as the first government largess to hit the chopping block. Over 280,000 Americans participated in the first round of YouCut, an innovative program allowing the American peo ...

To Zville MT And Other Interested PartiesJan 16, 2012
Starting a new thread because the old one is too hard to follow any more. You've got me doing more googling than I ever intended but that is a good thing.  Total cost of health care in this country was up to 2.3 trillion a couple of years ago and undoubtedly higher now.  Frivolous law suits accounted for only 1 to 1.5% of the costs and unnecessary tests an even smaller percentage at 6.8 billion.  I couldn't copy the link but if you google frivolous lawsuits health care ...

For Anyone Who Is Interested-email Response From Jan 11, 2010
did this so I am just sharing for anyone interested. Dear Friend, As the first year of the Obama Administration concludes with the State of the Union, the White House is inviting Americans across the country to connect directly with some of the President’s senior advisors.  Through WhiteHouse.gov, these leaders will report to you on their work and answer your questions on where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re heading. Every morning this week at WhiteHo ...

It was a difficult decision, but I decided to avoid worrying about whether or not she could or would escape any fence I would build and then there's the worrying she may bite someone else and have to be put down.  Anyway, within four hours of my ad appearing in the local paper, I had met a nice couple who live on 20 acres and have another boxer and they were looking for a playmate.  I took my baby to their house so I could check it out and everything looked great. And then I ...

Reading Material For Those Interested.Jul 14, 2013
Okay, I read this probably three or four months ago.  Re-read it again this morning.  I think if every person capable of reading in this country read this, there would be screams for justice and calls for the head of mainstream news organizations.  Even Obama weighed in on this.  Did he read the statement?  This is George Zimmerman's official statement given to police.  http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/06/22/us/21george-zimmerman-transcript.html?_r ...

For Those Of You Interested In Concierge Medicine, Mar 30, 2017
ObamaCare. Working directly with his patients and cutting out the insurance and government bureaucrats, lowers costs for the patients and increases the quality of care they receive. This shows how free market solutions can cut healthcare costs. This is the way out of the healthcare trap, and ironically it's being driven by doctors themselves who want to be doctors rather than insurance administrators. So-called "concierge medicine" is available in most areas and the number of doctors ...

There are actually two things in this article.  I am a believer in the second ammendment and a democrat.  However, I also believe there are people out there who should not own guns.  Perhaps this bill was vague (I haven't seen the actual bill), but I do believe people with severe mental illness with violence tendencies should not own guns. The other issue is the last paragraph:  "The goal of the rule was to minimize coal mine pollutants in waterways and would have requ ...

To Liberals/Progressives Interested In The Economy: (sm)Oct 26, 2009
Don't know if any of you have ever watched the "Morning Meeting" with Dylan Rattigan on MSNBC (9:00 a.m. Eastern time), but I would highly suggest watching it.  He is very angry about what's going on in the economy (from banks "too big to fail" to the "public option"), but instead of bashing Obama, he refers to the culprit as "the government," since we all know when this really started and how many administrations are really involved.  Rattigan used to be on CNBC but is now o ...

Is Anyone Interested In A Little Direct Political ActionJul 28, 2016
I am trying to think of a way that we can bring the situation in our own industry to the attention of the Presidential candidates, specifically: 1.  The danger that exists in permitting the medical records of Americans to be processed offshore. 2.  The adverse impact on both job security and compensation that offshoring has had on our labor force. 3.  The increased likelihood of errors being introduced into the medical records of American citizens when transcription is done by ...

Some Conservative ThoughtsOct 22, 2009
If a conservative doesn’t like a news organization or a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.  If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.  A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.  If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.  If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.  If a ...

Some Liberal Thoughts Oct 25, 2009
If a conservative doesn’t like a news organization or a talk show host, he goes on multiple chat boards and blogs and does everything he can to discredit them. Liberals just don't invite them in.  If a conservative decides he needs health care coverage, it is after he has taken advantage of the system by not carrying it; making payments to healthcare providers who are not in the business of lending money, and sometimes he has filed bankruptcy.  A liberal recognizes that eve ...

Election Day Thoughts ...Nov 02, 2010
I used to vote for who I wanted in office because we had credible, responsible candidates - promising, at the least.  Now I vote to keep out the lesser of the evils. All that aside, my thoughts for the whole nation on any election day: 1.  May we all vote in peace, without threat or harm or intereference. 2.  May all who are able to vote soberly cast their vote. 3.  May we be able to pull together and get behind those who prevail and make the best of the process, regardle ...

Some Thoughts About This Board, Etc. Mar 18, 2012
I respect everyone’s right to their opinions.    We have a 2-party system in this country, thankfully, although  at times I wish it were more, and if we all thought the same, or weren’t allowed to disagree, we would probably not be living in a democracy.    This is my issue.   When I hear, for example, some conspiracy theory on how Obama’s (or it could be anyone) agenda is to ruin the country, turn it into a socialist state  (wh ...
