The greatest stress reducer


We got a puppy about 3 weeks ago and it has been more than fantastic. Trudy's her name, she's a Golden Doodle sort of-mostly Golden Retriever with long legs. She's a sweetie that has stolen out hearts. And frankly, when I'm with my dog, I don't care about anything else.
I don't think about the economy.
I don't think about the Obama debacle.
I don't think about the money or the lack there of.
I don't think about the weather.

It's just wonderful.

Dr Keidel saw this coming


Socialist medicine like the plan that Obama and the Dems are putting out there is a crock. And the Hope and Change must be stopped from happening, less we go bankrupt as a nation. My grandfather, Dr C. Lee Keidel, was a country GP in Cleves, Ohio, where I grew up. He watched in horror as the profession he practiced was turned into a greed based insurance and drug company business where stockholders and profit was more important that patients. He didn't want me to do advertising, my chosen profession, for hospitals, he didn't believe they should advertise, just treat patients. He knew that it would drive costs up. And it did. Be believed that the family Dr and his patient should make the decisions on one's health. Not government, not insurance bureaucrats, not business. I think that I should be able to shop around for my plan, let my company give me the money the would spend and let me find the best plan for my family. Stop all the crazy discounts and insurance scams, let me be truly responsible. I'll find a better deal. I don't want the government in my life at all. Keep me safe, fix my roads, deliver my mail, quit wasting my money on people who don't work or pet pork projects or corporate bailouts. 50% of the people are against Obama's plan 42% idiots are for it. Funny how 42% of the peops don't pay taxes and voted for Blobama.
