another great expression but certainly not the case since I got sick

I made some business commitments after two years and have not been able to fill them

I had felt I had turned a corner but I hadn't and today again I was in the ER.

I wish all this free health care that supposedly exists really did, that's all I can say.

My heart goes out to you Noon.

A lot of the things the government does as far as redistriubtiting the wealth doesn't sit well with me, but health care for everyone, without a myriad of paperwork, is one thing the nation should be able to afford.

It is unconscionable to do otherwise.

Best of wishes, my friend.

Chas

Dadgummit Chas, just about ready to get you pigeon-holed and you go say something like that. Actually, I know better than to try that. Besides, if we stuck you into a pigeon hole, you'd start measuring it for renovation.

Regards,

D-Ray

Hey, noon. Follow doctor's orders, don't hit on all of the nurses (be selective, it worked for me ), get out of there and start raising hell and raising your daughters.

Regards,

D-Ray

Damn, Noone! I'm really sorry you're having trouble again! Hope you're back on your feet soon.

Actually, I'd do a cost analysis first.

It's far easier to lose money than to make it.

And that's a fact.

Doesn't matter. Somebody got something they didn't work for. So we are, as Great Christian Americans obliged to hate their guts for getting a free molar cap.

You wouldn't believe the hatefull, ignorant shit I had to endured for letting people know I was doing work for Habitat for Humanity. Some of us have truly been conditioned to hate the poor and anyone who tries to lend them a hand. Even when it doesn't involve a single penny of taxpayer dollars. It is positively sickening.

This is why I have nothing but disdain for the right wing media and often say that; "I hate what they are doing to my country."

I've had a couple of root canals. What a blessing it was to have them. The pain beforehand just kinds of takes you over. After the root canal the pain is gone. I am thankful to have had access to such treatment.

When I compare my experience to the severe problems these people had with their teeth - to the extent that one fella took pliers to his tooth - it makes one realize that there are enormous needs out there - and that I'm a wimp. Besides the tooth pain, the infections put the patients at risk of serious heart disease. Imagine what a regular program of preventative care would mean to the quality of life for these citizens.

It should be a goal to be able to provide medical and dental care to every citizen. But that's not half as important to get worked up about as the president's middle name and his certificate of live birth.

Regards,

D-Ray
