I'm sorry but when I read this post and saw someone had disliked it...I couldn't help but chuckle and think....what is to dislike about this? Do some of you people just like to dislike things? lol Wow....seriously. DISLIKE!!! ;) I don't have any to add and I'm bored so I'm just gonna dislike this post because I can.

The 1 dislike - Conservative

I got a chuckle out of that myself. I think there are some on all these boards that just troll around and hit those buttons without reading anything, for no purpose, only because they can. Guess it gives them a sense of power...LOLOL.

It appears to have been summarily deleted - at least I can't find it anywhere

Hard to understand why it would be deleted rather than moved. It sounds like people were having lively conversation. Oh well.

Here's some real healthcare reform! - Rickie

Anyone else notice that the ER is still triaging patients, seeing people with known "chronic" complaints, but not treating them, just sending them on their way with advice on seeing their primary physician?

Yeah, well you can believe they are still CHARGING Medicare, Medicaid and insurance for those non-treated visits anywhere from $750 to $2,000.

Let's start there - imagine what we can save in healthcare costs if the ER stopped milking billions from people who have their bill paid, but really receive NO MEDICAL TREATMENT.

I've noticed too a new practice is to give Zofran out like candy corn, and dilaudid for pain, not treating their REAL complaint of a bowel obstruction so the patient can retur in 4 to 6 hours for round of misdiagnosis and non-treatment to incur another bill.

Yeah, let's overhaul healthcare and let's start in the ER. If someone sees a doctor - acute or chronic, if the doctor agrees to accept them for evaluation - treat them, this voodoo monkey medicine is just costing all of us a lot of money for nothing.

Panetta Said He Didn't Have Advance Notice Of The Attack. Huh?Nov 13, 2012
No advance notice? What the heck? Do jihadists now have to let our State Department know ahead of time that they’re going to attack us? How much time does he want-24, 48 hours or more than that? Dumb statements coming from the SOS, President, Biden, Rice, and now Panetta. Seems like our government is made up of some officials lacking any sense. ___________________ Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says the U.S. military "did everything they were in position to do" about the attack on the U ...

Holy cow!!!! Had my first discussion w/ a lawyer today and I'm flabbergasted at the things I didn't take into consideration.  The soon-to-be-ex most definitely isn't going to love, but he'd better be grateful that I'm not asking for spousal support (he makes 3x more than I do now- gotta love being an MT).  Y'all rocked w/ the advice to at least talk to a lawyer.  I like this guy.  He's no BS, shoots from the hip, and says I can decline anyth ...

Has Anyone Notice ThisSep 26, 2012
Its not about school lunches or healthy kids.  Its about one thing alone...control. IF MO was so concerned about children being healthy she would meet with parents.  She would help to give "suggestions" to parents, get more healthy guidelines out to parents.  Hold conferences with parents.  Have docs meet with parents.  Parents, parents, parents.  Starving kids in school leads to poor performance and poor acadamic grades.  It also means this...because the par ...

HUGE Disagreement With DHApr 01, 2011
I've never been big on social networking.  I keep in touch with friends by phone and meeting for lunch, dinner, parties, et cetera.  DH has myspace, four square and of course Facebook. He has HUNDREDS of "friends", a lot are friends from high school and friends of friends from HS and of couse co-workers and friends of co-workers.  He shows me the pics, the posts and the arguments and debates when he finds them funny or interesting.  Last night he and I were looking at ...

The Power To Say NO Is Huge.Nov 01, 2010
As few as 41 senators, which could represent as little as 12.3% of the U.S. population, can make a filibuster happen.  The Republicans have been using the filibuster continually, even filibustering bills they previously were FOR, just because they believe it makes Dems look bad.  The Republicans currently have 41 senators and block everything.  The Democrats have 57 senators, so by the rules they cannot override the Republican obstructionism.   ...

Big, HUGE DisagreementMay 23, 2011
A friend of my daughter has a kitten.  The friend  can't have pets where he's currently staying, so I agreed to give the kitten a home, temporarily. I love cats, and he's a really nice kitty.  My DH is infuriated at my decision. He said if it's not gone by next weekend, he's going to kill it. We have 6 pets (3 dogs, 3 cats) of our own. It had been 8, but two died of old age recently. So it's not like we're anti-pet. But he wants to keep the dimi ...

MOVE YOUR MONEY DAY! Do Yourself A HugeNov 05, 2011
I've been talking about it, and today I did it.  I took my money out of the big national bank I'd been with for over 20 years, Greed-of-America. The bank that had hidden fees up the wazoo.  The bank that charged me overdraft fees, even when I never overdrew my account. The bank that continually raised its minimum balance to a point where I was getting more money siphoned out of my account, even though I couldn't afford to put any more in, which is why I fell below the mi ...

Two Huge Liberal Inconsistencies.Jun 14, 2016
1.  We must not believe that the Orlando shooter represents all Muslims, but we must believe that he represents all gun owners. 2.  We must not allow people who have not been vetted to buy guns, but we must allow immigrants from terrorist hotbeds who have not been vetted (indeed, whose very IDENTITY is uncertain) to enter the country. There are many other liberal inconsistencies - for instance, regarding human life and abortion - that they cannot explain away, but these two are parti ...

Huge Cleaning Mess!Sep 23, 2014
Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me, someone who has experience in this. I have very shiny white tile floors, I guess they're porcelain. I wanted to clean my kitchen grout, so I used a very highly-recommended grout cleaner on the grout, then went over the entire floor with a mild detergent with my wet/dry vac. When it was all dried, I noticed a horrible film, almost like a million little water spots over the entire floor. Some are actually swirls. I troubleshooted this over the ph ...

Huge Debt To China, But We're Anticommunism;)Nov 06, 2014
Since my last question didn't fly well with a few (perhaps because it hit to close to home in our chosen career field), here's a new one I'd like to try to understand. The same career politicians responsible for the recent revival of "communism" fears are the exact same names who pushed for us to outsource overseas from 2004-2008, mostly to communist China, though we were already in tremendous debt to them. And this doesn't this seem odd to you? To me, that goes stri ...

House Defeats TPA By A Huge Vote.Jun 12, 2015
The vote was 302-126. The House killed a worker aid bill that was tied to the president's main agenda item -- legislation that would give Obama "fast-track" authority to negotiate trade deals. Without it, the trade push withers for now. The vote marked a stunning blow for the president at the hands of his own party, with Nancy Pelosi and labor unions helping drive the stake into the legislation in the end. The biggest defection for Obama came when Pelosi joined the rebellion in opposi ...

Anyone Notice Comments Directed Against The President...Apr 10, 2017
...are always responded to by attacks on the poster, usually with name-calling and 'bullying,' attacking an entire 'party' rather than thoughtful dicussion and dialogue, and most always have to have the words "Clinton," "Obama" or "left."
