Keeping You In Stitches

Archive for March 2010

I’ve kept my “fingers” quiet so far, but I’m going to explode if I don’t get this off my chest.

#1 – People seem to think that health insurance costs will go up….where have you been?  Our’s have gone up or we’ve gotten less benefits for years.  It’s a given with or without health care reform, insurance will go up.  How else will the insurance companies be able to make so much money?

#2 – Does anyone honestly think that our taxes aren’t going to go up?  If so, please let me know what you’re drinking, smoking or sniffing so I can get in on these too.

#3 – The top 3 countries in the world….drum roll…..have government health care!  Ta-da!

#4 – Any one who has a loved one, family member, or friend that has suffered a catastrophic illness/injury, will definitely want the pre-existing conditions dropped.  In the whole scheme of things, I would imagine, that percentage is not real high.  I recently read about a newborn baby that was born with problems and needed 2 surgeries to live….guess what, the insurance company is fighting covering those surgeries because “it was a pre-existing” condition.  If you were that child and had to make a decision, would you say, “Oh, let that baby die?”

#5 – Yep, Medicare will go up just like everything else is going up.  As far as it being a hardship on retirees, perhaps they should have SAVED or INVESTED more wisely.

Everything is going up….it’s a fact. 

Anyone that thinks health care is going up only because of health care reform, needs to think outside the box. With or without it, it’s going up!

Wouldn’t you think I would have ironed this before I took the picture? LOL

This is one of today’s projects….a little kitchen fairy holding a mixing bowl and making cookies….hey, it’s my project and if I say she’s making cookies, she’s making cookies!

Cute, huh?

This pink fluffy bed was originally purchased for the Precious Sofi!  And because it looks feminine!

However, Oliver,(L) who has turned into Mr. Personality, has decided the softness feels good to his tush!  Thus, they now are best buds and share the bed.  Altho’, if you note, Oliver takes up over half the bed….but Sofi just wiggles so she can get in there and snuggle up!

  • Yesterday was close to being successful….. May 7, 2013
    Yesterday we tried to do the unthinkable – getting 3 things accomplished!  When we first moved to Costa Rica, we were “warned” that if we got one thing on our list accomplished, to think of that as a successful day. I had a dental appointment at 2:50 p.m. in Escazu; went smoothly except I have […]

  • Happy May Day! May 1, 2013
    Back in the old country when I was but a wee lass……May Day, May 1st, was a great holiday.  We spent the week before May 1st making May Day baskets.  Then we would fill them with candy, spring flowers, etc. – on May 1st, you would deliver your May Day baskets, hang them on the […]

    Some friends, Frances and Peggy, went to Nicaragua last week for a few days of R & R and to feed the street dogs and to put flea and tick stuff on them.  Frances has Animal Lighthouse Rescue in Atenas. When they returned, I got a text from her saying she brought home a Momma […]

  • Going to Goa? Go In Off Season and Save April 4, 2013
    Our friends Bill and Sandy just returned from a humongous trip that included Singapore and India and Bali and Australia. Don’t know about you, but just thought of planning for such a long trip – they were gone for about 8-9 weeks!  I would have to plan now if I wanted to take my dream […]
