Hard decision about family caregiving

My grandma's side of the family has a biannual family reunion and it's a pretty big party. Every reunion a different families "hosts" the reunion. Hosting generally means they pick a location for everyone to gather, book the facility and caterers, send out the newsletter, and contact local motels and campgrounds for special group rates, etc. Then of course their in charge of the events at the dinner like giving prizes for who traveled the farthest, the oldest, the you ...

I think to a lot of people, the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case is largely about an overhaul of corporations' rights to control employees, basically a first step to more control over their lives. Sure, it's about the birth control issue, but the "big picture" about the decision is this opening of the door to who knows what is next from big business? The same people who are saying they don't want government to come between people and their doctor s ...

There was a thread awhile back about a new pipeline route being approved by Obama, and the poster warned that it was just to appease the pipeline supporters and he would eventually find a way to delay.

There are many lists now circulating of the biggest winners and losers from the election; oddly, however, none of the lists I’ve seen mentions just how bad this result is for Wall Street’s Masters of the Universe. The story, as you may recall, is that the financial industry — having brought both itself and the rest of the world to the edge of disaster — was bailed out by taxpayers. Yet far from being grateful, top financial types were furious at Obama for occasionally hi ...

The commutation of Chelsea Manning’s prison term will forever be a blot on President Obama’s legacy. Just as the pardon granted Marc Rich by President Clinton on his last day in office became a totem of the odious pay-to-play money grubbing of Bill and Hillary, l’affaire Manning will be an enduring reminder of Obama’s constant pandering to special voter groups and mindless adherence to a progressive agenda. It will also stand as testimony to President Obama’s questionable fealty to ...

By David EdwardsWednesday, July 7th, 2010 -- 2:24 pm A recent Supreme Court decision hailed by Republicans but condemned by most Democrats may be helping to stuff the coffers of conservative political groups founded by Karl Rove. President George W.

The Republican National Committee actually lost money ...

This is such a hard question to ask but you guys seem to give great advice and I need some direction. I have been married for 21 years with 4 kids but I am finding that I have changed so much and although I love my husband I am not in love with him and I would much prefer to just be left alone. He can be verbally abusive even though if I ever said that he would never believe it. He does not see what others see. I have reached a point where I just don' ...

Sometimes, when I read posts about MTs going through hard times (many of us these days), I think about inviting one of them to stay in my home for perhaps a year in order to get a little ahead. I live alone in a rural area and have a lovely home. There's not much to do here, but it's pleasant enough, and the cost of living is reasonable. I've been through a few rough patches myself, but I'm with a pretty stable company now and am enjoying my work. I� ...

everyone else if you want to get by." Spoken by our President who announced he was a black man at Morehouse speech. This is how he promotes racism and division. No, Obama, maybe 40 years or so ago you did, but now you don't have to work twice as hard. You just have to WORK and do a good job, like everyone else. Stop with the dividing remarks. You are asking for another civil war, I truly think that's what you want. You will probably get it. ...

Sitting here at my desk crying. Can't believe how in the last 3-4 years my income has dropped. Barely making it. Wondering how I will come up with money to pay rent the first of the month. Have medical bills (not even totalling $500). Called hospital to work out financiall help. Went to the expense of copying and mailing them required paperwork. Then, they tell me they don't give help for bills under $500. Why not tell me that BEFO ...

Sitting here admits tears and trying to stay focused. Four years ago today, at 4:23 a.m., my world changed. My apartment burned to the ground with everything lost. What a horrible thing to watch everything you own be destroyed. Everything I had worked hard for to go up in a short amount of time. Precious memento's left from my grandma, mom, dad and brother never to be seen again or able to be replaced. Yes, I am thankful that my fiance and I and our pet ...

My local news is trying to get us to donate money and I am not feeling this at all. I wish they would cover the tent cities, the senate hearings about the financial crisis, the joblessness, the soldiers and their families....anything "American," but all I see is Haiti. The truth is that tons of relief supplies are sitting at the airport right now and people and money on the way. If they could not rebuild New Orleans, how are they going to rebuild Haiti? In the list ...

that certainly was true 100 years ago. Not any longer. work hard and have your 401K dissolved. Work hard and your job is going to China. The decisions in this country are made by the wealthy now. Corporations count same as humans. Corporations fund politicians (Boehnert passing out checks from tobacco companies on floor). Quit swallowing those spoon-fed Fox platitudes. Deregulation did cause financial disaster not matter how much you repeat the fox line ...

As usual, the Republicans are out to gut the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that was just signed into law last July. Keep an eye on that pension and 401-K.
