Hello friends and patriots...lend me your...shoulder?
I have been flitting around the Internet for a very long time taking part in what I tend to call "mind squats" which are just places like this...teamsugar.com and making friends.
One common factor I have found wherever I go in this vast wilderness is that there are people like you and me.

The traditional girls night out is something used to look forward to but after I got married a year ago I am afraid I have let that tradition fade a little. Last weekend my friends insisted, my husband demanded I go, and so I went and it was great.
Does it sound like I am a little less enthusiastic than I should be?

I just came back from a run, feeling pretty good, and thinking....Is this my Best Day Ever? Yes!
Everything I have been worried about is beginning to fall into place. Do I feel lucky? YES! Do I feel blessed? Absolutely!
I really believe in the power of positive thinking. Sometimes when things seem to be crumbling around me I remember what my Grandmother used to say... "let your light shine bright and the darkness will run away" so I have been particularly shiny and ever hopeful. Things are looking up!

It's the mother of all ripoffs.
So say six New York moms who are suing the maker of a test that billed itself as "infallibly accurate" and "99.9% accurate" in predicting a baby's gender - then bungled their results.
The lawsuit accuses the inventor of the Baby Gender Mentor kit - which cost $25 to purchase along with a $250 fee to get results - of stiffing most of the moms on a promised 200% refund after incorrectly predicting the gender of their newborns.

This year, Glamour is honoring First Lady Michelle Obama with a Special Recognition award for her commitment to mentoring young women. (She also appears on our cover--the first time in Glamour’s 70-year history that a First Lady has ever done so.) You simply cannot talk about 2009 without talking about Mrs. Obama: and no, I don’t mean her status as a style icon (richly deserved though it may be). Just nine months into her job, our nation’s first African-American First Lady has thrown open the doors of the White House to local children and families, determined to show young people that, in her words, “there’s no magic to being here”--that with hard work, any one of us can rise to greatness.

I am going to give you my personal look at Obamacare from a perspective which may seem a bit strange but in reality it should be alarming. The interesting thing is that most of all of my childhood I went without even some of the basic things people assume most everyone has. The only healthcare I had as a child was Medi-cal...which is the program upon which Obamacare was designed.
My father worked several part-time jobs as well as his full-time job as a Baptist minister. He did everything possible to provide for us, worked his fingers to the bone and still managed to comfort the people in our church and help them deal with their own problems. Not once did any congregation we served bother to possibly consider that making sure the minister and his family had any healthcare or even some of the basic necessities in life was one of their priorities. They did however call at any time of the day or night for his help and he was there for them.
Sometimes our whole family was there for them. I was a very experienced babysitter, cook, and housekeeper before I was even 11. This is not bitterness I speak from---it is my attempt at revealing to you that many who are among the uninsured are hardworking people often working in service-oriented positions which simply aren't offered healthcare.
So....let me get back to Medi-cal......the mentor of Obamacare. When I hear people on the Obamacare bandwagon I think they probably don't really understand what they are supporting. Many have never been on medi-cal.
