Zoysia @ Rest

Well it is once again time for the Zoysia in my yard to rest. It is an exciting time, just being able to see the progress in spreading across the yard that the Zoysia has made over the past growing season! Pictures are sure to follow! The weed aka regular grass continues to cover about 15-18% of our estate, sometimes it seems to take a long time to eradicate that stuff! A couple of times a week I plan where I will move the next set of plugs, since I move large plugs (shovel size) I don't really care if the plugs are dormant or not, soon oh~ very soon before the earth freezes!

Obamacare Endorsements: What the Bribe Was

Sunday, November 8, 2009 10:39 AM

By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann Article Font Size

As the suicidal Democratic congressmen proceed to rubber-stamp the Obama healthcare reform despite the drubbing their party took in the '09 elections, the president trotted out the endorsements of the AMA and the AARP to stimulate support. But these � and the other endorsements � his package has received are all bought and paid for.

Here are the deals:

# The American Medical Association (AMA) was facing a 21 percent cut in physicians' reimbursements under the current law. Obama promised to kill the cut if they backed his bill. The cuts are the fruit of a law requiring annual 5 percent to 6 percent reductions in doctor reimbursements for treating Medicare patients. Bravely, each year Congress has rolled the cuts over, suspending them but not repealing them. So each year, the accumulated cuts threaten doctors. By now, they have risen to 21 percent. With this blackmail leverage, Obama compelled the AMA to support his bill...or else!

# The AARP got a financial windfall in return for its support of the healthcare bill. Over the past decade, the AARP has morphed from an advocacy group to an insurance company (through its subsidiary company). It is one of the main suppliers of Medi-gap insurance, a high-cost, privately purchased coverage that picks up where Medicare leaves off. But President Bush-43 passed the Medicare Advantage program, which offered a subsidized, lower-cost alternative to Medi-gap. Under Medicare Advantage, the elderly get all the extra coverage they need plus coordinated, well-managed care, usually by the same physician. So more than 10 million seniors went with Medicare Advantage, cutting into AARP Medi-gap revenues.

Presto! Obama solved their problem. He eliminates subsidies for Medicare Advantage. The elderly will have to pay more for coverage under Medigap, but the AARP -- which supposedly represents them -- will make more money. (If this galls you, join the American Seniors Association, the alternative group; contact sbarton@americanseniors.org. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .)

# The drug industry backed ObamaCare and, in return, got a 10-year limit of $80 billion on cuts in prescription drug costs. (A drop in the bucket of their almost $3 trillion projected cost over the next decade.) They also got administration assurances that it will continue to bar lower-cost Canadian drugs from coming into the U.S. All it had to do was put its formidable advertising budget at the disposal of the administration.

# Insurance companies got access to 40 million potential new customers. But when the Senate Finance Committee lowered the fine that would be imposed on those who don't buy insurance from $3,500 to $1,500, the insurance companies jumped ship and now oppose the bill, albeit for the worst of motives.

The only industry that refused to knuckle under was the medical device makers. They stood for principle and wouldn't go along with Obama's blackmail. So the Senate Finance Committee retaliated by imposing a tax on medical devices such as automated wheelchairs, pacemakers, arterial stents, prosthetic limbs, artificial knees and hips and other necessary accoutrements of healthcare.

So these endorsements are not freely given, but bought and paid for by an administration that is intent on passing its program at any cost.

PRAY THIS EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!!
IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.

I started not to do this, but as I read it.....
I understood God to say, 'You need a miracle
tomorrow' so here
goes...Prov. 29:25

You never know when God is going to bless
you!! Good things happen
when you least expect them to !!!!!!!

Change the number in the subject box when you forward
it by adding
one!!!

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for
my being able to
see and to hear this morning..
I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God
and an understanding God.

You have done so much for me
and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything
I have done, said or thought
that was not pleasing to you.

I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.

Help me to start this day with a new attitude and
plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day to clear
my mind so that I
can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all
things. Let me not whine
and whimper over things I have no control over. And
give me the best
response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my
heart. Continue to use
me to do Your will. Continue to bless me
that I may be a blessing to
others.

Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me
uplifted that I may
have words of encouragement for
others. I pray for those that are
lost and can't find their way. I pray for those
that are misjudged and
misunderstood. I pray for those who don't
know You intimately.
I pray for those that will delete this
without sharing it with others .
I pray for those that don't believe.

But I thank You that I believe that God changes people
God changes
things. I pray for all my sisters and
brothers. For each and every
family member in their households. I
pray for peace, love and joy in
their homes; that they are out of debt and all their
needs are met.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no
problem,
circumstance, or situation greater than
God. Every battle is in Your
hands for You to fight.

I pray that these words be received
into the hearts of every eye that sees it -
in Jesus' name. Amen!


If you prayed this prayer, change the number in the
subject box before
forwarding the message so people can see how many
other people have
done so.

God Bless ! ! ! ! !

Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!!

God I love you and I need you,
come into my heart, please..

I am soooo glad that it actually began raining! Not that we needed rain, although, it will help, but idea of not opening the business due to pending rain was just a little intimidating, and perhaps a little worry some. I suspect that I could have just blamed it on my wife saying it was her paranoia that keep the cart closed but, I would rather not do that... And the good news I don't need to! I guess I should congratulate the weather folks!

Blagojevich admitted that he eventually appointed Roland Burris to the Senate seat because of his race.

"I chose Roland Burris largely because he was an African-American, and I felt it was important to choose an African-American leader to fill the vacancy left by the first African-American president when there were no African-American senators after Obama resigned his Senate seat," he explained.

Mangru asked Blagojevich if he would accept a deal where he would get no jail time if he pleaded guilty.

"No deal. No deal," Blagojevich declared.

"I did nothing wrong and under no circumstances will I acknowledge that I did anything wrong when I didn't do anything wrong."
Well when you make a decision based upon race either in favor of something or against it...in favor of someone or against someone... Guess what the heck that is ??? That point blank makes you a RACIST.

I just finished reading the suggested lesson plan for 7 graders to 12th graders in regards to President Obama's pending Pep-talk this Wednesday. Honestly, it seemed just a little degrading to the student body, it sounded like the instructions were for 1 or 2 graders and not middle school students and certainly not someone in high school. Looks like an argument for "Keep the Kids Home Wednesday!

And here's your joke:

A Hundred Dollar Story!

A tourist walks into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at the exotica, he notices a very lifelike, life-sized bronze statue of a rat. It has no price tag, but is so striking he decides he must have it.

He took it to the owner: "How much for the bronze rat?"

"Twelve dollars for the rat, one hundred dollars for the story," said the owner.

The tourist gave the man twelve dollars. "I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story."

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and began following him down the street. This was disconcerting; he began walking faster. But within a couple blocks, the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing.

He began to trot toward the Bay, looking around to see that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster.

Concerned, even scared, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the bronze rat as far out into the Bay as he could. Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after it, and were all drowned.

The man walked back to the curio shop.

"Ah ha," said the owner, "You have come back for the story?"

"No," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a bronze politician!"

I'm making a personal choice to post this song to determine the quality of this form of expression! LOL
http://ping.fm/3ImRo

The Personal Choice maybe a tier one choice or it maybe a tier 2 or 3 choice. Some of those personal choices are easy to reverse some are difficult. If you are beginning to understand just how much of your live is a personal choice you are choosing to be on a correct personal choice.

A Message Remembered
This was one of those memorable weekends that was really about memory and reconnecting. Separated Friends by Time and Distance.
It occurred to me that in this day the distance part while physical was only a mater of personal choice. The emotional portion was also a mater of choice. The time element here a mater of personal choice.
35 Years ago it didn't seem like it was a mater of personal choice.
35 Years later it clearly was a mater of personal choice. Hindsight adds clarity. Now some folks made a personal choice not to attend the events that came about this week end. Some will chose to continue to wonder away. Some will chose to die, so will chose to continue to ignore emotional scares that continue to lie just below the surface of their psyche. Some lose hundreds of pounds and travel hundreds of miles only to make a personal choice not to open that door and step in. Some will chose to make up stories about where they are and what they have accomplished in order to feel like they have a writ to be there.
The writ is within the person seeking to come in, the personal choice is not to open the door. The personal choice is within.

Bill Bill Who has the Bill? With some of our Congressmen and women and their counterpart in the US Senate now dancing around in an effort to confuse the electorate or just allude the difficult questions from voters that don't think very highly of the House Bill 3200~~ I have a simple solution... We the American patriots DO NOT WANT ANY BILL THAT INVOLVES YOU THE US GOVERNMENT TO BECOME ANYMORE INVOLVED IN OUR HEALTHCARE. Period end of sentence, end of discussion or end of your term in office. Sadly, if we can't discuss this without the political jargon then our solution is that of a parent to a 11 year old child (one that works for us by the way).

This Representative needs to be censured or impeached from office. http://ping.fm/MzRj7

*This is real tongue in cheek cute!

*A sweet grandmother telephoned St.. Joseph's Hospital. She timidly asked,
'Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?'

The operator said, 'I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and
room **number?'
(you have to get past the HIPPA Regs)

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, 'Norma Findlay Room 302.'
(Probably not sufficient to get past the regs this has just been shared a
few times prior to HIPPA)
The operator replied, 'Let me place you on hold while I check with
her nurse.

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, 'Oh, I
have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood
pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal, and her
physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday.'

The grandmother said, 'Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried!
God bless you for the good news.' The operator replied, 'You're more than
welcome. Is Norma your daughter?'

The grandmother said, 'No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me shit.'
