I can't imagine why

People would not (or don't) brush their teeth. If I go for more than 24 hours, my teeth feel like they've got moss growing on them, and it's nasty. Granted, you don't need to put 27 pounds of toothpaste on your brush, like they do on TV - the packaging actually says to use a "pea size" amount of toothpaste, but I guess the admen figure if you see a huge glob of toothpaste on the brush on TV, that's what your suppose to do. That way, you'll use up more toothpaste and then need to buy more. It's all in the marketing. If you've just got plain jacked up teeth...well, I can understand that. Orthodontist's are expensive. but you can still brush!

Frugal

I've got a big, pump bottle of lotion that's pretty much empty. I've also got a bunch of smaller lotion bottles, all different smells (peppermint, pumpkin, cranberry). How bad would it be if I mixed all the little bottles into the big bottle? I mean, it's all lotion, right?

"AMERICA'S NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM REVEALED
UPDATED CHART SHOWS OBAMACARE'S BEWILDERING COMPLEXITY

Washington, D.C. - Four months after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously declared "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it, "a congressional panel has released the first chart illustrating the 2,801 page health care law President Obama signed into law in March." And, boy, is it a mess! The first thing that came to my mind was, "You've got to be KIDDING". The second though was, "We're sooooooooooooooooooooooo screwed."

In addition to the above, the article also says, "In addition to capturing the massive expansion of government and the overwhelming complexity of new regulations and taxes, the chart portrays:

$569 billion in higher taxes;
$529 billion in cuts to Medicare;
swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;
17 major insurance mandates; and
the creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.

Brady admits committee analysts could not fit the entire health care bill on one chart. "This portrays only about one-third of the complexity of the final bill. It’s actually worse than this."

I feel so sick to my stomach...but there's little chance I'll be heading to the doctor's any time soon...

My dogs

My feet hurt, right heel to be specific. I've got a Dr's appointment today, so I hope I'll find out what the skinny is. I did some "research" on the Internet, and I came up with Plantar Fasciitis. I don't know if that's what it is...but maybe the doc will shed some light. I'll keep you updated.

I did it

I stuck the Q-Tip all the way into my ear canal, and I didn't die! I had heard, once, that a Dr. said your ear is like a self cleaning oven, and that was why you didn't need to stick a Q-Tip in your ear canal. But, my reasoning is that even a self cleaning oven needs the gunk wiped out from inside after it "self cleans". Hence, I must clean out my self cleaning ears with a Q-Tip. Besides, it feels sooooooooooooooo good.

Imagine This....

If you lived in Massachusetts' , and they pass this "pandemic response bill" ("Pandemic Response Bill" 2028 ) which was was passed by the Massachusetts state Senate on April 28 and is now awaiting approval in the House, then, as stated in the bill, upon declaration by the governor that an emergency exists that is considered detrimental to public health or upon declaration of a state of emergency, a local public health authority, with approval of the commissioner, may exercise the following authorities (and this is just a sample!):

- to require the owner or occupier of premises to permit entry into and investigation of the premises (ummm...search warrant anyone? Bill of Rights, Article IV of the Constitution???);
- to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building (my house?) or facility;
- to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons (huh? Silly me, I thought this was a guaranteed right, written into the Constitution...like THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS???), ;
- to control ingress to and egress from any stricken or threatened public area, and the movement of persons and materials within the area (Your papers, please);
- to collect specimens and perform tests on any animal, living or deceased (say goodbye to Spot);

Talk about a slippery slope....where does it end? Are you willing to let the government (State or Federal) come into your house without warrant to "investigate"...what, exactly? Restrict your right to peacefully get together with your friends, family or even drive down the street? And this is the scary part...it's all under the guise of "we're doing this because it's good for you". Sorry, but I don't want the government deciding what's "good for me". I'm perfectly capable to doing that myself. This should scare the crap out of every red blooded American citizen...
