Welcome Obama Care "A note to my son"
In about 1980 I damaged my spine -which resulted in weakness to my right side...At that time I was paying soc sec and fica so i would have ..medicare as well as a small pension-..barely enough.. By inflating the dollar using printers to create billions more.. which devalues the dollar for people holding dollars i,e. Retirees or the chinese.. I had no medical coverage-so this major injury languised for over 20 yrs, until i turned 62 and had it fixed.. Now of course --I have to deal with a 20% co-pay on a fixed income.. If i had insurance,,I would have Fixed IT!.. When u sign up you have immediate coverage.. Add up Your fica payments for 2012 Div by 12.. If your proposed coverage should be less.. I think Fica will be changed : premiums (chosen by You will be deducted) from fica... As well as fica medicare premiums for retirementI believe your total fica payments... Hopefully, you,ll arrive at your chosen retiremt date--healthy n ready to play with your own interests... Check and make sure you understand the differance between deductibles, premiums and fica (retirement.. All these impacts will have to be managed by You..
Winning by increments
Turning yourself into a winner! the more you lose--the more energy you have--more energy means more muscle--which leads to more calories burned..You are on the winning side.. congratulatins!.. I started walking, because I promised.. Ive gone fom my normal weight 228#,s to 192# which I think is a good weight for me being 70...I,m no longer flabby from rapid weight loss.. Rocky has also greatly benifited, he is now a magnificent mature male..this from the people...with a huge luving heart..I am proud!

one more reason to move from spokane.wa.
.. i,m seriously considering moving back down towards Portland.Or. Spokane is usually north of the jet stream for 3 or 4 months a year. but For some reason now Spokane was north of the jet stream for : oct, nov, dec, jan, feb, march, april, may and this year june except.for the 28,29 and 30th. The plants will not grow until 55 to 60 degrees and they need 85 to 110 growth degree days..I believe we had 3 days in june and was hot july, august, and half septseptember. That means, we totaled aproximately 78 consecutive growing days. Not enougth, for corn and tomatoes or me
Well it seems it,s always cold/dry or hot/dry in spokane.. Today it is raining enough to wet the road.. It,s amazing, storm after storm going by spokane.. You can see lightning and hear booms--all 5 miles away...Strangely, we seem to have cool air flowing downriver off of Lake Couer de lane and the mtns... all nice and good in the summer but year around we have a heat bubble over the spokane area...so we have delayed springs... In checking the mean monthy temp and number of "growth degree days" comparing bellingham, portland, and the tri-cities, it is apparent that Spokane is too cold for tomatoes and corn some years. If we north of the Jet stream, we enjoy canadian weather,,,

There is a roadblock on I 10. ARE YOU A US CITIZEN ??? insulting! i stopped in a small town, a local pointed out the border at first i couldnt see it.. then i realized that the long red train (seemed to go on forever) was in fact the concrete barrier; much like hwy divider-but 20 ft high . he no longer crossed over.. i myself got the treatment... the town is rotting,their must be 6 motels closed.. its almost like the police et al. are chasing the last dollar---half the houses were abandoned.. for them-the only way out of Town is their thumb or a coffin...on the other hand the cartels are now killing and kidnapping on our side of the border. i left I 10 at van horn tX and headed south for Del Rio, TX on st rt 90. at marfa, TX i stopped to mail a letter.. actually, their were about 4 bikes ,college type, a sure sign of yuppies their we weren't any Hispanics around and the town was prospering. it was part of a hotel complex ..i asked how much for a rm---145$/nite...i had pd 26$ the nite before queen bed etc stunning!! 50 mi north?? my first wasp town..of course the local sheriff had to ck out my USS minnow.. 10 ft and floats (almost) behind my van. people don't know what to make of me? i haft to laugh my passport is a clean drivers lic and a college ed. don't forget--- tail lites, lic plate etc---any excuse will do! i left for marathon, tx. strange things started to happen--i saw a blimp in the sky. first, i thought it was free-then it disappeared later it reappeared--i was relieved. it was tethered it is only a spy drone.. WHO DO u think its collecting info on? HUH!! on both sides of the rd. a lane of gravel--one side is some kind of fiber optic cable, which requires some kind of relay/power station--funny they always come in twos.. more later...dad

every thing is screwed up!?
I lost my credit card- so i ordered a new one . in the meantime my phone was shutnoff by virgin--i pay by credit card.. then rocky jumped into the river n struck a broken bottle--severly cutting his leg..i got the bleeding stopped--but not before my liv rm rug was ruined.. i wrapped his leg tightly n went to bed 11pm..got up early his foot was swollen 2X. i took him to the vet who wanted 350$--i went home., got my supplies ready.. his cut had quit bleeding..TYJ.. I wrapped his leg firmly-- cut the top off a sock n slid it over his foot n foreleg..puttin pressure on both. told rocky to leave it alone--which he did for 3 days.. Now he,s in charge keeping it clean--a really nasty scar is forming. my carpet is ruined. Rocky did not bleed out.. I,m thankful his achilles tendon was missed.. i love his independent spirit--this week he decided he wanted to swim across the spokane river. I watched him go he went about half way turned chicken n came back. About 15 min later--he took off again.. i decided to cheer him on.. he got thru the confusion zone where caution n desire meet. he took off for the farshore and made it. He shook himself off, ran up river--and plunged back into the river. And swam back all triumphant... When we got home-- their was a shut off notice for my utilities..oh great! and then my water pump whent out on my van. OOh there,s more--suffice to say I,m getting over my whinning snievling and feeling sorry for myself all at one time! the problems will be solved--one by one. In the mean time I thank Jesus Christ for his blessings on our lives.
