Heath Insurance Needs Reforming

We have best medical system if one can afford it.
Private health insurance would be 30% of our monthly income but with $2000 deducible and with a 20% co-pay. To have insurance with out a co-pay it would cost us well over 50% of our income. None of our other insurance even comes close. Our house is just around 3% of our income and auto insurance is just right around 8%.
Currently private health insurance can possibly deny one treatment. The people who involved with health care insurance aren't doctors.
We have 3 goverment programs that helps people with their medical veterns, medicare, and medicaid. I have some knowledge due to working in the home care system.
To quilify for medicaid on S.S.I one can't make over $100 a month and their personal weath can't be over $2000 which every thing includes their Auto.
Something needs to be done with our health insuranc companies as it's plain to see their complete out of wack.

This is the letter I just send to the editor of our local paper.

No Way Yes Way

I haven’t been blogging. Hubby had a grip that I was spending to much time on the computer. So I’m limiting my self to one to two hours a day. But his grip of me being on the computer was practical. One of my second cousin was spending a lot of time on face book and forgot that any one even was breathing. I guess her hubby got piss threw the computer. She loaded up the rv and went to her parents place.
I don’t know if any of their problem are being over blown. But her grandmother my Aunt Bea ask to keep them in your prayers. Also one of her grandson who also having marriage troubles


Bart is coming up for the weekend. He looking for a place to pick up different residence. His room mate lost his job and also he wasn’t paid the power bill either. I know Bart hasn’t been there that long. Statement time….I feel Bart or anyone else is splitting rent should be splitting and other housing cost
He has plates on the table to keep going. He has a chance to take over someone else lease the price is right under $225 bucks plus you know power and that kind of stuff.
But the person he taking lease from the other room mate is a female. Bart says he isn’t all that thrilled with her.
But Confession time…I’m a little uncomfortable with either one of my son rooming with a female But I know it’s not my place to stick my nose into there personal life


Last three weigh in at T.O.P.S I gain and one more pound or maybe it three pounds. “Ah.. I don’t want to see that mark”. I thought I was being fairly good.
I haven’t done much in ceramic line. Recently I finish three Christmas ornament.
Murphy been talking mixing up some clay (Slip) and casting some molds. It really don’t look like he will be working much this up coming year. I believe actual the tree nursery only sold one or two loads of trees. We heard of anther nursery only sold about the same amount of trees.
It’s all due to the economy

Move On

I'm not even sure real where to start up dating my blog or so called journal.
I guess I might well not post about past history I guess there things lost to the ages


For the month of February I been going to book discussion book at our local library and the book is "To kill a Mockingbird" There been 8 of us who is involved with this book. I feel the urge to post about how prejudice on a heartfill level


Yesterday we celebrated my brother in law Birthday who is married to Faith Murphy sister next to him in age. He turn 79 and is in great shape. It seem he always has a project going. They just redid there meeting room and kitchen in the basement.
His wife made a wonderful chicken dish with rice. Green salad was offered. Then for dessert we had Strawberry and blueberry short cake. A small gathering of 11 people


Today I went up and saw my friend Quenella and we visit for short peroid. Before we head into town she made some soup for her and I a chicken veggie and rice. Then we was planning to hit the thrift store and only one was open. I believe Quenella got some books for the grandkids and phone.
I found two belts for ninty cents each. Not sure if these things are small glasses or scones. But they fit nicley into my hand for juice glasses



I don’t know how many years they been practicing. But every other month in memorial hall at our local fairground on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 2 to 4 pm they have fiddling music.
I even heard a Jerry Garcia of the Great Full Dead. Even with a few squeeze and off tune sounds every so often it was and up lifts and mood boaster

Up, Downs, and All Around the Huckleberry Bush

I mightiest well catch you up on the going on. I feel like my brain isn’t firing on all cylinders recently.
First thing I haven’t got a computer yet but I know I need to get one. I strongly am looking at getting one though Costco. This is one I’m considering getting ZT But also Wal Mart has an e machine down in Sandpoint Idaho.


Now we’re a little pass the half way mark to Spring. One order of seeds came in and still one more to come. It doesn’t look like we will be doing any gardening soon it’s snowing at this moment.
On ground hog day I notice there was a few bulbs just peaking though the dirt. But Notice no other changes among the plants.
One day on a walk I heard what I believe is starlings making chatter.


At this time there having a reading and discussion time for the month of February the book we are reading is “To Kill a Mocking Bird”


Now for the economic news it so, better then some.
I’m still doing home care same amount. But when it comes to Murphy he had to open a new claim at the beginning of the New Year. He was drawing on extension at $270 a week. The new claim he open is at $127 a week. So are income went down $580 a month.
