healthcare

Organizing for America has held a contest where people submit 30 second commercials for health care - and the winner will have their submission shown on television. NO...don't start thinking that I submitted one...I am SO not that kind of talented. Now they've got the list down to 20 and I thought I'd share some of my favorites. Some of them are funny, some show just how downright absurd some people are in the way they think.

You can find all of them here...watch them..and then vote.

Here were some of my favorites.

These first 2 make me think...







These two are the absurd...





Regardless..they all should make you think.

Skinny but tough

Did you see this short article in Reuters?

It's amazing how much Obama can take. He's doing the best he can, as fast as he can, with what people will give him. It's time to cut the shit and get it all done!!!

He is tough...can't wait to see what he accomplishes...and then some will be eating crow...

Here comes the sun...

I am off in the morning to visit Jill in California. We have some fun things planned which include knitting, music and food. I know you're jealous.

As promised...

...here's a post. We're back from our vacation and Paul started his new job today...so it's been a big week in our world.

So..lets start with the job. Paul started his job at Northwestern. Don't ask me to explain what he's going to be doing because I seriously don't get it...it's like listening to the adults in Charlie Brown..wa wa wa...he can tell me 10..no 20 times...and nope..nothing. It is a great opportunity for him..and a great University...so I am sure it will prove to have been worth the wait.

We took a vacation before he started because it will probably be until next Spring or Summer until he can get away for more than a day or two. I, of course, am going to California this weekend...so I can go any time!

Here's what we did....


..seriously...this is what we did for 4 days. Here was our view from the poolside hut that we stayed in...

And the beach.

We had a really nice time.

Now that things are settling..and Paul is back to work...I'll try to blog more. Not that the cause and affect is valid..but I am going to say it is :)

MIA

Seems I've gone missing again. Maybe the issue is that the new fall programs have started and so I've been watching more TV than usual. What ever it is, I should not neglect my blog...that no one reads...

I am currently in LOVE with this commercial..which probably has way more to do with my love of dogs than my need for insurance! I also didn't realize till I looked it up that the version they show on television is the short version.




In other news, we're going on vacation - I am actually going to visit Jill as well - and Paul got a job...but I'll save that for tomorrow...
