[sunshinedaisies]

hi all..... well,I am here. It seemed to take forever and I am either just really stressed out or I have picked up a bug of some sort !

My case finally arrived just now thank goodness as it was MIA. I will see how I feel tomorrow before going to see mum if I do not feel good then there is no point in going to a hospital and spreading whaterv I have !

Mums keyboard is ancient and the keys stick so typing this on my iPad which is not the easiest for me ... so won't try and answer everyone right now .... might buy mum a new keyboard tomorrow !!!

Thanks for all the well wishes when I was having my pity party! I felt so stupid - sitting there crying and could not stop !

Will hopefully post a better post tomorrow !

Hugs, Sun xx

Wow, I leave for a few hours and so much going on.

Mama, good for you on the offer. Let us know his it goes. Plaid golf pants, huh? It is Florida. I think being able to talk to us should be a deciding factor in accepting this position, just saying,

Pauly, I know you are having a hard time over there, but you made me laugh with the idiot comment! Today is another day. I want a glass of wine so bad. CJ left a half empty glass on her dresser last night. Boy was I tempted, but I did not.
Yes Mama, I will be accountable like Nora and Pauly!
Sunny, is it a cold or stomach thing you have? Feel better, take good care of yourself. Glad you are finally there. That was a heck of a long traveling day!
Dottie, ((((hugs))))
Off to make some dinner, boys are outside shoveling and snow blowing. CJ, as predicted, is at joes house, sigh. I'll check back later.

[jane27]

Boys are here snow blowing too and they sound totally spastic. File this under the category of UGH. I hope they don't break the stupid thing. Have to keep remembering that I was 19 years stupid once too. Serenity now!

[mama bear]

Jane, I have a stupid 19 year old too!
I met with Brenda and she was delightful. She did not offer what I wanted, but hubs and I are discussing it. The big factor is the cost of insurance. Her policy is double what I am paying now, but we are researching the affordable care/Obama care. It's not much cheaper from what w can see. If anybody has any tips, I would appreciate it. New area for us...
Sun, I am glad you made it and I am so sorry you are ill. I hope you get to see your mum.
Lizz - good job on no wine!!
Home made chili (once a week thing here) and "Lost" on Netflix for me. All the discussing of money has made me tired.
Oh...hubs had no idea I was mad...what an idiot.....
Love you all and extra hubs to Dottie...
Nora and Pauly...hope you are both ok.

[Lizann]

Mama, Obama care, you are paying a lot of money for hardly any coverage. Hubby is a chiropractor and I work with doctors. A lot of doctors won't accept that insurance because it pays virtually nothing. It's more like catastrophic coverage than anything else. Just what I know from where I sit. That is too funny, hubs didn't know you were mad! Men!

[paulywogg]

Obama care sucks!that's why I have such a hard time finding a decent doctor, I was excited about it at first but now,sheesh

[Lizann]

That's what I'm talking about!

[SKendall]

mama, congrats on the offer, you are a corporate peep!

Stay well, Sunni

Love to Dots and everyone else.

Anyone seen the Grand Seduction on Netflix? an Indie movie which is very funny.

Good Evening, Friends!

Wow, lots of activity here...it's great to see!

Dottie:hug:Friday will be so hard for you...and all I can say is try to set up plans for yourself this weekend...either invite someone over or ask if you can go to someone's house...reach out to your closest friends. Just try not to be alone so much that you fall into a dangerous and dark space of isolation. Like everyone else here, I'll be praying for you.

Mama-Congratulations on the job offer! Did you ever hit a nerve when you mentioned that your health insurance would be twice as much with the new job, and you were considering Obamacare. Listen to Liz, Pauly and myself...Obamacare is not what you want! Thanks to that moron in our nation's top chair, my premiums per month have DOUBLED. Yup, I pay $542/month...and I've not had anything chronic or catastrophic to make my premiums jump that high. As far as the new employer's insurance, ask Brenda why it's so high and what kind of coverage you get. Maybe it's better than what you have now. God forbid, if your cancer comes back and you have Obamacare, you are screwed. So if your premiums are twice as high, you would have to deduct that amount from your pay increase with the new job...so that's a factor. Was she even close to your asking price? I know you would welcome the change to a higher class of people...I totally get that. Why won't your boss let you fire Tucky???You have given her so many warnings! On another topic...weird about the addict puking in your garbage cans. Ah, you lead such an exciting life!

It's 10:15 PM and I have to be up at 4:00 AM so I apologize for not addressing you all individually. Off to bed now.

[Rags]

SKendall!
How are you?
Haven't been around much lately so I've missed you.
Only 3 months before I winjg my way to Vancouver and Alaska.

[mama bear]

Hi SK! xoxoooxooxoooxox
it;s 3:15 am and I am awake...why?

[mama bear]

last night we worked on insurance and Obama care will be $700/mo for hubs and the boys and it has a 12,000 deductible???????????????????
so I think we will take the 1000/mo. policy from my new job/w a 4 k deductible.....
we are close enough on the salary that I think we are good...hubs is ALL about the $$$, so we usually over analyze everything....at least IMO. Insurance is mind boggling now....
Gonna try and catch a few more zzzzzzz's
