Obama's policies I do agree with stopping tax breaks for companies outsourcing jobs overseas. 

;

Even the Girl Scouts uniforms - may be outsourced.

[ In Reply To ..]
The big corporations are more profitable with the cheap labor.

The Girl Scout organization may buy their uniforms from overseas to save a buck, but who can afford to buy the uniforms when the US citizens have no jobs?

The Republicans voted against the bill to discontinue the tax credits for corporations that outsource. They chose the big corporate profits over the middle-class jobs. A downward spiral, for sure. We need to BUILD up the middle class, not tear it down.

Ear ProblemsApr 05, 2016
Does anyone else have the problem of certain outside noise frequencies causing their eardrums to vibrate or pulse really fast? This only happens when I wear my headphones. I have noise-canceling headphones and can't actually hear the sound, just feel the vibrations in my eardrums. It's only certain things for me like lawnmowers, chainsaws, four-wheelers, and some car/truck engines. Most of the time it isn't bad if whatever is making the noise is just there for a moment, but i ...

Mortgage ProblemsNov 12, 2009
Hi everyone - Anyone have any ideas about what to do with a bad mortgage, other than foreclosure I mean.  We got sold to a servicing company some time ago.  My DH decided to ask, just ask, about getting a loan modification and they automatically went ahead and did this without us filling out any paperwork.  Can you believe it!?  We tried calling and talking with them about this but got no where to say the least.  We decided to just keep paying our regular mortgage a ...

Period ProblemsMay 31, 2011
This may be too much info for some of you guys, so sorry in advance! My period is normally a very heavy flow with terrible cramps and lasts 6 to 8 days.  Lucky me, I know.  Last month it was normal (well, what I consider normal for me).  This month it was like 1 day of spotting and that was it.  I did have a bit of cramping, but this is not normal for me.  I haven't had sex in a couple months and my period last month was normal so I doubt I am pregnant. Any ideas? ...

Financial Problems - Like So ManyMar 13, 2010
Like so many right now, due to pay cuts in the last year, I am in need of any additional prayer anyone can give.  My pay has been cut nearly in half.  I don't qualify for bankruptcy because my name is on 1/4 of my mom's house.  She has early dementia and is fighting us on all fronts right now because she's in denial.  She just had another TIA and is refusing to go for an MRI or see the neurologist.  She refuses to sell the house, which she needs to do anyw ...

Husband ProblemsAug 11, 2012
I need some opinions about some of the things my husband does. Basically, I feel that he is very controlling.  He is always making remarks when he can't get me on the phone that I must be with my "boyfriend".  If my phone goes off, he'll say ask if it's my boyfriend, and it is usually just an email from work or some type of business that I have an account with.  We have been married for 16 years, and I have never cheated on him.  My best friend since high scho ...

Knee ProblemsDec 11, 2012
First let me start by saying that I have had two arthroscopies on my right knee and one on my left for basically worn out cartilage and some "fraying" around the edges of the knee cartilage, but never an outright tear (according to MRI studies all three times).  My knee problems have always started out first with pain, achy-type feeling, stiffness, and a tight band-like feeling around my knee, sometimes hurting on the outer back of my knee (I know I have a Baker's cyst in both knees, b ...

Problems With TV ReceptionApr 30, 2014
Tonight I dropped my Comcast remote, and it fell upside down on the carpet.  When I picked it up, it apparently hit a button that immediately made my TV reception extremely snowy.  Can't figure out how to fix it.  I did not go near the TV, so I am sure it has nothing to do with any cable connections.  Any advice would be helpful before I undertake the task of calling Comcast, which is not always a good experience.  Thanks! ...

Health Problems Being An MTSep 11, 2014
I'm a relatively new MT and already I'm having a constant ache in my arm and shoulder. It's a strange sensation that I can't really describe. Never had problems physically before until I began being an MT. However, it didn't come on until about a year and a half of being an MT. For those who have been an MT for,say, 20 years, I don't know how you do it. You don't get health problems from working at McDonald's or Wal-Mart, I don't think. Typing 8 ...

NECK PROBLEMSApr 17, 2016
I have been doing MLS work for donkey's years.   I have always had a little "twitch" in my neck but recently it has gotten out of hand.   I cannot go to get my hair done or even to the dentist because when I sit down in the chair my head starts to twitch.  I cannot even take a drink without my head twitching resulting in me spilling the drink.   It is not constant but occurs often enough these days to alarm me.   I am thinking it may be from constantly staring at a ...

Problems With Controlling Mother...Sep 25, 2011
I'm hoping this doesn't get too long winded, but it probably will, lol.  I have an exceptionally controlling mother (I'm 44).  She makes snide remarks about my parenting, my clothes, my job, you name it.  I got fed up about a month ago and blocked her from calling into my home (comcast can do that).  Her world's record of calling me at home was 12 times in one day.  Now she can only call my cell phone.  Stupid me I thought this would work out bet ...

Sister And Mother ProblemsDec 27, 2011
I am at a complete loss as to how to handle this situation.  My mother and sister have done this before and I pretty much just let it go, but they have done it again.  I have an 11-yo daughter who loves to see her grandma and her aunt.  My sister has 2 smaller children that my daughter also loves to see and play with.  My sister seems bent on telling my daughter things I did before she was born.  Nothing God awful- like when my much older child was younger, I would go ou ...

Persistent Rash Problems-please Help!Jun 03, 2011
Hi everyone-I have a really annoying medical condition and am wondering if anyone has had the same thing. I am 54, 5 years of menopause under my belt. I have pretty much stopped with the hot flashes, insomnia and extreme mood swings (hubby is happy). Roughly 18 months ago I started deveoping random areas with hives controlled by antihistamines. A year ago I developed vulvodynia (so painful!) and started using small doses of premarin vaginal cream twice a week. It successfully kept it under cont ...

Having Problems With Brother's FriendJul 05, 2011
My family knew that I was looking for a new pet.  I wanted a cat or a kitten and had been looking in shelters and in ads for a pet, hoping to give an unwanted animal a good home.  I finally found a 3 year old super fat and fuzzy faded orange tabby cat and brought it home. Named him Puss in Boots because he reminds me of the character in Shrek 3, that fat!  Well my brother called me up and explained to me that a friend of his was looking for a home for ...

Teenage Girl/Boy ProblemsApr 26, 2011
Not sure what to do.  This is the first time I've had to deal with this, though I'm sure it won't be the last.  My daugther is in the process of breaking up with her first real boyfriend.  They're both 17 years old.  They were pretty serious for 6 months.  I'm not aware of everything, but from what my daughter has told me this 15 year old girl (who lives out of the area), who looks from her FB profile page to be 20 (very sexy profile pic) has her ...

Perfect Storm Of Car ProblemsJun 27, 2012
Hello:  just having a mini breakdown about car problems. My van is in the shop and I have to pay $500 deductible for repairs from an accident. The real issue though is my sister's and my niece's cars. My sister's car needs about $945 in repairs. My niece's car is basically blown engine an not salvageable. They want help to repair their cars, and I told them no. This is a long story but I can not help them, and it does make me sad but I have my own money woes. My niece i ...

I Think This Would Solve A Lot Of Problems InstantlySep 09, 2012
I've thought about this before, and it occurred to me again while reading exerpts from Woodward's newest book...along with "rebuttals" from Obama, Pelosi, Boehner, Reid, etc.  Most of these amount to "that never happened". Also, I've thought about this in conjunction with things like the secret negotiations with pharmaceutical companies to gain their support for Obamacare.  I don't say this just happens on one side - it happens on both sides. I've often wonde ...

Spouse With Possible Cognitive Problems?Feb 15, 2013
Hubby and I went out for Valentine's dinner last night.  We've been married 26 years.  He's 59.  Now, we've lived in this community for almost 20 years.  He knows these streets up and down and sideways, but on our way to the restaurant he turned the car into an oncoming ramp with a car coming right at us.  I tried not to freak, but was not completely calm when I said, "We can't go that way!"  He stopped short of committing to the ramp and ma ...

Did President Obama Know About The VA Problems?May 19, 2014
It's being reported that the president knew about the problems at the VA since 2008, and so he should since he is Commander in Chief. So, if he knew about those problems and all these other scandals brewing, just what has he accomplished during his presidency other than the colossal failure known as Obamacare? Of all the scandals, the one involving Veterans is right up there with Benghazi. The very people who have volunteered to protect America, including the President, and this is the than ...

First I do have an appointment with my doctor at the end of May.  That is the soonest they could get me in.  Going back for a followup from my last visit where I was diagnosed with diabetes.  Just found out that 3 months ago my hemoglobin A1c was 14.5 and my glucose levels are always high (between 250s -350s, occasionally over 400).  Took it night before last before dinner and it was 215.  Woohoo!  But that was short lived, so now trying to recreate what I did that ...

Question Regarding Any MT Having Right Shoulder Problems TypingJul 07, 2010
Hi all:  Has anyone had trouble with right shoulder hurting, burning type pain, tired, feeling like your arm is going to fall off and making right triceps weak after sitting at the computer so long.   I have been to doc twice, on pain pills, muscle relaxers, NSAID, hot tub for muscle soreness.  I have not been to the neurosurgeon yet.  I think it is a pinched nerve causing this as I searched symptoms on line and this is pretty close to what I am having.  Driving me ...

Trouble Walking And Balance ProblemsMay 18, 2015
Hi: I have been having balance and gait issues for months. I also have severs L5-S1 right foraminal stenosis. I thought my issues were related to my back. I went to the neurosurgeon last Thursday and they told me my issues could be related to normal pressure hydrocephalus or cervical myelopathy. I have to have a CAT scan of my brain and a cervical MRI. I have no neck problems except I now also have CTS like symptoms on left and partially on the right. I had a cortisone shot in wrist and ...

Is Our Country Still Capable Of Finding Solutions To Big ProblemsApr 19, 2011
We've done it before. I think we can do it again. The deficit is a gigantic problem, but solving it by putting hungry people out on the street isn't an acceptable solution, is it? So the problems I would want us to solve would be Health Care For Everyone - Including The Elderly So We Can Be Smart About The Way We Dismantle and Redesign or Do Away With Medicare Defend The Country Feed those who can't feed themselves ---I need to think about this before I go any further. ...

Tomato Juice And Feline Odor ProblemsMay 15, 2012
I've been with my furry friend for nearly 17 years.  I cannot smell a thing, but my neighbor says the place reeks.  I recently read a detective novel by Ridley Pearson.  In it, the character who is the police pathologist recommends mopping with tomato juice to get rid of the smell of catpee.  I know this isn't where you look for this kind advice, but I wonder if it wasn't just filler commentary and might actually help.  Three years ...
