Weird pains

Why am I having these damn pains again? EERRRRRR!

Typical day for a ADD Adult

Want to know how my typical day goes? Take a look …

I decide to wash my car.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first.

But then I think, since I’m going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

I’m going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don’t accidentally knock it over.

I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the coke a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye — they need to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I’m going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I’ll water the flowers.

I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day: the car isn’t washed, the bills aren’t paid, there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren’t watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I can’t find the remote, I can’t find my glasses, and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.

Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I’m really tired.

Administration Calls Marriage Law Unfair

The government’s previous filing in the case angered gay rights activists who supported Obama’s candidacy in part because of his pledge to move forward on repealing the law and the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that prevents gays from serving openly in the military.

…Monday’s court filing was in response to a lawsuit by Arthur Smelt and Christopher Hammer, who are challenging the federal law, which prevents couples in states that recognize same-sex unions from securing Social Security spousal benefits, filing joint taxes and benefiting from other federal rights connected to marriage.

Justice lawyers have argued that the law is constitutional and contend that awarding federal marriage benefits to gays would infringe on the rights of taxpayers in the 30 states that specifically prohibit same-sex marriages.

Glenn Beck’s Operation

Glen Beck, what a sell out loser!

What in the hell…..

Has anyone even read this healthcare bill? No, I am not talking about what someone in your church sent you in a email, or a friend cc’d you on a email from you don’t know who it came from originally. Have YOU, actually sat down and READ it? Do you know what it says? If you answered no, then shut the hell up and read the damn thing. Stop this domestic terror of acting like mindless, lazy, followers and grow a pair and read it for yourself. If you can not do that, turn in your voter registration card, just do mankind the service of shutting up.

You can’t fix stupid!

What are we teaching our children? Call it being an American, how can you when you are screaming about something you have not even read? That isn’t American, that is just plain stupid. Allowing Glen Beck, Rush, MSNBC, Fox, your “minister”, to tell you what something says without reading it and knowing for yourself is criminal. Citizenship is not easy people, you actually need to do something about it. You need to earn it and protect it everyday, and going to a town meeting and screaming, chanting what you have been told to say is not being a citizen, it is being a cheap vinyl recording. If that is your definition of being a citizen, do the right thing and please keep your stupidity to yourself. You should have no rights, no get your ass back into the field and pick something.

Read it! Healthcare bill

Apple use to be easier

I remember when syncing my Mac was easy. But lately, syncing with Mobile me has been a real pain in the ass. Not sure why, but it seems like they are having trouble again. Not even talking about 3rd party syncing, I am talking about iCal & contacts with Address-book. It is very annoying, and the online help with Apple is worse then going to the Apple store and trying to figure anything out with anyone other then the Genius people.

Even software updates are becoming more often and very microshit acting. What is going on over there in Cupertino? Very sad with this lack of service.

I have wasted over 2.5 hours today already just on trying to sync my calendars between this air and the imac. This is beyond stupid.

Man Is Freed in Houston After Months of DNA Tests

The state of Texas has a long history of pride in its legal system. Even more pride in how it holds the record for the most executions, and that their aggressive action in crime prevention is the way to go. Texas leads the nation in cases in which convicted men have been exonerated through DNA tests.

Hello? This is a big problem, and once again Texas example is an embarrassment. Big boots, big hats, and big mistakes, that are costing lives. We humans are far too fallible to carry out executions. Who do we think we are? And if we are a people of intelligence, how can we not see why this needs to stop? Some will call me a bleeding heart liberal progressive, fine by me. I would call myself the one that listened that day in Sunday School when they taught us that God handles each and everyone of our judgment day.

Get knocked down ….

One step forward, three steps back. Everyday, people everywhere fight and battle just to get out of bed. Getting dressed, or taking a shower is just things that fall to the side. They don’t eat right, much less healthy. Taking care of themselves is not a priority. They see the coming day as just another bunch of wake up hours to be endured. They watch movies, and read books (blogs too) that show people who defy the odds and find happiness and success.

I know this because I fight this everyday. In the last few months it has only gotten worse. For me it is something I think I have fought for some time now, how long I do not even want to consider writing down. It would only serve to anger and push me down further.

Every night, I am plagued with thoughts of the things I didn’t get done. Question why I didn’t get this or that done. I get up and think I can get it all done then. Course, I am only getting worthless “busy” work done. Not like you can call people at 1 am and discuss business. Find myself reading for hours about things in this world I have no control over, but feel the intense desire to comment on them. Guess we always feel better when we can focus on others and their problems then facing and dealing with our own. I am not only a member of that club, I am the president of it.

I now find myself in a hole I don’t know how anyone could climb out of. Know some will say, suck it up. Get up, get dressed and go find any job you can. No matter how poorly it pays. Yea, that helps! I have heard this so many times, and with what little strength I have left I have fought it. Not sure why, but I have. Could be that I am so stubborn I can’t help but hurt myself. For some reason I have held out “hope” that I was better then that. That there was something about me that could attain greater. Experience is proving to me, that there isn’t anything special, that I have been wrong.

The negative impact it has on me has been rather extensive. But the hurt and pain I have caused others is the worse part. Met a very special person many years ago and put her through more then anyone should ever have to deal with. She endured not only my failures and everything comes with that, but even more. A son who I have never met, but I am touched by daily. Then there is the one person, above all others who should never be injured or hurt by me, but it seems everyone that comes in close proximity of me gets pulled down. To each of you, I really am sorry!

Now what? Where do I go, what should I do?

Palin gives ’stirring’ gun rights speech at NRA dinner, says group

Sarah Palin addressed a local (Alaska) NRA dinner the other night. The NRA peeps were so excited and stirred by her comments that they have decided not to share what the quitter said.

Seems they are (or the quitter herself) feel inclusion is the way to go now days. Reporters were not invited to observe. The quitter has gone media silent since leaving office. She has not twittered, and backing out of appearances. When she quits, she QUITS!

Granted, she is now deflecting rumors about her marriage to Todd isn’t going as planned. Sure she has enough on her plate.

Right Wingers Wreak Havoc on Philadelphia Town Meeting

This whole healthcare reform issue is getting so out of hand, and to be perfectly honest, this is bullshit from all sides. This is an issue that is about our lives and everyone has turned it into a political debate. To such a point, people are screaming at each other in the aisles of our local meeting halls. So many people just need help, they need medications. Is it anyones responsibility to make sure this mothers child lives or dies, or if that senior gets the medication to extend their life? Not even going to touch on the hopeless thought of comfort.

Healthcare has become the latest whipping boy from both the right and the left. What is our (all of us as in society) responsibility to the person next to us? Do we have a responsibility? Or is it our “God-given, inalienable right” to be responsible for no one other then ourselves? This is an issue that is rapidly reaching the normal conclusion we usually find ourselves in. It is not how loud you scream, but how much money you throw at it. Because the simple fact of voting in this country is measured in Benjamin’s not a ballot.

Denise Dennis: Right Wingers Wreak Havoc on Philadelphia Town Meeting: ”

Philadelphia, PA — August 2 – This afternoon, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, I saw the face of ignorance and hate–and it wasn’t pretty.

When Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius and Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) came to the National Constitution Center to answer questions about health care reform, they were greeted by an overflow crowd of approximately 400 people, the majority of whom were supporters with legitimate questions.

Unfortunately, though, a well-organized, belligerent and loud group of right-wingers stood in the aisles and across the back and disrupted the town meeting throughout. They yelled, shouted and jeered, and it was clear that they were not there to participate, but instead to try to disrupt the meeting and make it difficult as possible for anyone else to ask questions. They jeered from the moment the director of the Constitution Center stood to welcome everyone. For a few days leading up to the town meeting, e-mails circulated around Philadelphia warning that the ‘tea-baggers’ were planning to protest the meeting and, although there were fewer of them than there were supporters–they made more noise shouting about ’socialism,’ ‘abortion,’ and ‘assisted suicide.’

To show their support, the audience stood and applauded Secretary Sebelius and Senator Specter numerous times. There were people in the crowd wearing purple t-shirts with gold and white lettering that said ‘Health Care Now We Can’t Wait.’

Local members of Health Care for America, a non-partisan, nationwide coalition of volunteers were a strong presence at the event. According to Antoinette Kraus, a Pennsylvania Eastern Organizer for the Philadelphia Unemployment Project, one of Health Care for America’s member organizations, ‘Two people a day die in Pennsylvania from illnesses that could have been prevented if they’d had access to affordable health care.

‘We advocate for quality health care for all through a public option,’ she said, ‘and we encouraged all advocates of health care to come out today and support Sect. Sebelius and Senator Specter.’
In spite of the chaos, questions were asked and answers given. In response to one question, Specter said, ‘I believe the single-payer system should be on the table,’ and was enthusiastically applauded. A retired nurse then prefaced her question by saying, ‘If single-payer passes, I’ll come out of retirement!’

When asked why the Community Choice Act (which would cover patients who can be treated at home) wasn’t included in the proposed plan, both Sebelius and Specter explained that they are an effort to put it in the final Senate bill.

When an angry woman approached the microphone and complained that health care reform would lead to ‘rationed care,’ Secretary Sebelius said emphatically, ‘Rationed care is absolutely not something we condone,’ and explained that today health care is ‘rationed everyday for people who do not have coverage.’

To emotionally charged questions about abortion and assisted suicide, Sebelius calmly answered, ‘Abortion and assisted suicide are not a part of the legislation.’

impassioned and frustrated man asked why–if sixty-three percent of the American people favor health care reform–can’t sixty-three percent of the Congress pass the legislation. Specter replied, ‘We are going about it in a democratic way.’

One person described seeing people ‘falling through the cracks everyday’ and asked what can be done about ‘getting insurance for people with serious illnesses.’ Sebelius explained that the proposed health care reform would require ‘no more pre-existing barriers, no more being dropped by insurers when you’re seriously ill, and no more losing coverage when you lose your job.’

Frances Conwell, Philadelphia, was in the audience and supports health care reform and she explained, ‘People say they don’t want to pay for other people, but I say they’re going to pay anyway–they can choose to pay for prevention or for how much it costs us now when people have to go to the emergency room for care.’ She added, ‘I have health care, but I can’t watch other people suffer just because I have coverage. You have to think outside yourself and think about other people.’

Maureen Benzig, retired, who formerly worked at the Medical College of Pennsylvania, said, ‘I would like to see a single-payer system and I was happy to hear Senator Specter say he like it on the table, but I support a public option if we can’t get single payer.’ Benzig described a family member who is a physician and took a year off in order to support single payer. Her own doctors, at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania also support single payer.

When I asked one of the belligerents why he and his companions wouldn’t stop shouting so others could speak and be heard, he shouted that it was his right to yell under ‘the first amendment.’ I then asked why he couldn’t respect the first amendment rights of others and he answered by glaring at me and walking away.

After the question and answer segment ended, I asked three of the boisterous opponents of health care why they do not support it and one of them pulled a copy of the Constitution from his hand and waving it, said, ‘Health care is not covered in the Constitution.’ Their arguments were illogical and based on lack of knowledge and an abundance of fear. I commented to them that they were being had, that they were working against their own best interests and they kept waving the Constitution.

The fury and rancor in the faces of the right wingers at the town meeting made it clear that this was not about health care only. It is about fear and raw anger, already inside them, now directed toward the health care debate. They see defeating health care legislation as their opportunity to re-visit the Presidential election.
