The 11:11 phenomenon, I don't get it. I'm starting a new thread

Previous thread getting too indented and confusing. The thread began with the question "If you are against Obama health care law, who should pay for the uninsured?" It boils down to either the individual is required to pay or the taxpayer will pay. We have lots of personal anecdotes and generalized "should" statements, grievances against the government and vague "individual basis" which means, I guess, do nothing. I came away with the opinion that conservatives are saying ...

I do wonder how many other states have started doing this. I would think this is ILLEGAL. The Missouri Department of Revenue, who issues concealed carry permits in Missouri, may have been caught transmitting private information on Concealed Carry Permit Holders to the Department of Homeland Security. Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder held a press conference to announce his involvement in an attempt to stop the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) from transmitting this private data to th ...

Hello all - my daughter will be starting college in the fall and we are in the process of trying to find financial aid. Does anyone have info on how to get grants? Is there usually a family income max that would allow/disallow anyone from getting a grant? I know I will need to talk to the college's financial aid office but any info that can be passed along would be appreciated. We already completed the FAFSA and my daughter got a small loan through that, but she was not awarded any gran ...

I don't come on here very often but wanted to acknowledge that I saw your replies below. I have completed the FAFSA and my daughter was able to get a very small unsubsidized loan, but not even enough to cover one semester. I will try the suggestion of the forum. My daughter will be going to a university and the realization of how much money this is going to cost is overwhelming... and then to think that all that money will be spent and she may not even be able to get ...

CARSON: Getting to the top by starting at the bottom The lessons learned in youth jobs can pay off later By Ben S. Carson I vividly remember as a teenager obtaining my first job with a regular paycheck as a high school biology-laboratory assistant. It’s hard to describe how excited I was to be receiving a salary and contributing to the upkeep of my family’s household, but the biggest thrill was doing something important while at the same time acquiring many skills that would p ...

When that old reprobate begins to sound off, you know Hillary's in trouble. ...

I went to grocery store, stood in line and cashier asks how am I doing? I stated, "DISGUSTED WITH WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR GOVERNMENT." Remind you, this is a very democratic state and democratic city I live in. This good looking guy next to me standing in line holding gorgeous flowers stated, "You and me both." "I am a doctor and I am leaving along with others and we are considering Canada." I looked at him and stated, "I am a medical transcriptionist and my pay h ...

Hello! I'm having a sale in my Etsy shop to help pay for my DD's trip to 4H camp this June. She wrote an essay and won a partial scholarship for the cost, but we will still owe some money. The sale begins now and continues until June 17th. I'm offering 15% off any purchase in my shop and that will include any custom orders. Use code 4HCAMP to receive the discount. I will be taking a much-needed break from May 28-June 4, so orders placed that week wi ...

I'm posting 2 stories now with links under the stories. Now, can someone tell me why this is not illegal? The "WH enlisted the help of Clinton as a go-between" and "nothing improper took place"???? WH used Clinton to get Sestak out of Pa. race By PHILIP ELLIOTT (AP) – 56 minutes ago WASHINGTON — The White House used former President Bill Clinton to offer an unpaid advisory position to Rep. Joe Sestak in hopes of persuading him to drop his Pennsylvania Senate pri ...

One of the Dem's talking heads just went to the podium at the convention to make an "important" immediate change to their platform. They are now inserting "God" back into the platform and recognizing the "capital of Israel", as well. Dems removed this from their platform, but reinserted it because they got flack for their bizarre comments and omissions and due to the ramifications and embarrassment Obama received (and we know how thin-skinned the King of Ken ...

Maybe a Death Row clay version could be made with Bush and Cheney as the heros of the Republic Party. ...

Now we get it...why Hillary Clinton is so lax and nasty - when Bernie is pushed out, President Obama swoops in and immediately starts campaigning for her. We were wondering why she is so, well, unenergetic, boring and blase...(when she is not yelling erratically and belittling Bernie). Now I would think Trump and Republicans can worry - do not think honestly Trump could beat President Obama, and that is who he will be running against. How does that show women to be strong and indep ...

I was let go from IMedX for not flexing due to low work on day shift. Sorry, but I can't flex late night/overnight hours due to having a 4-year-old. She comes first. Transtech was understanding but this IMedX bunch is ruthless. I have a new IC part-time job now with plenty of work during the day, M-F w/rotating weekends, where I'm treated fairly and the pay is good. This is to pay bills and help with tuition. I just registered for my first class sinc ...

Longer than I can remember, the daily news has been more and more depressing. Tragedy, civil unrest, your rights vs my rights vs their rights, violence, horrific scandals and scheming, disgusting political tactics, and so forth. Most of the TV shows even are just pushing the envelope too much. It is stressful. I didn't realize how stressful all of this was until I watched every single Chilean miner being rescued. That story did more for my belief in human spirit, co ...

Maybe time to get serious about working on our problems? I'm referring to hammers and nails, not knives and Molotovs. I'd start with complete election reform as the first step. ...

Martha is just going over the rules. ...

I responded to someone below that the GOP politicians were smarter than people think, very capable of accurately assessing the attitudes and motivations of their constituents. However, I "try" to evaluate all our leaders without blinders, so I have to be fair and wonder - has Obama done that to us left-leaning Independents and Dems, too? Because his lame-duck stuff is starting to worry me. What do other Dems and left leaners think of him trying to fast-track the deal through like this? Whenev ...

AP ran a story in our local paper. They are launching a special coverage program for uninsured Americans with medical problems this week. The catch: Preminiums will be a stretch for many even after government subsidies. You must have been uninsured for at least 6 months. Congress allocated $5B to the program but it could well run out in 2011. Premimiums are varied and estimated to cost a 50 yo in CA $575 a month wit ha $1500 deductible in CA. States with lower medical costs could be ...

Pathetic old poops. Fifty cents a chance. ...

Wutta mutt. She also visited an early voting site today. I thought that was illegal, but hey...with the Clinton ANYTHING GOES. ...
