In 1977, I was 28 years old. I had been married for four years, and my husband and I lived in Seattle fairly happily. I was a hospital pharmacy technician, and he was a transformer winder for a company that made industrial transformers. Neither of us really knew what we wanted to be when we …

What might happen to the best health care in the world under Obamacare
Properly Grateful…Joy of Giving
I like to think that I count my blessings every day, not just on Thanksgiving Day. This year, I've had numerous occasions to reflect on the manifest blessings in my life, and my country. I was fortunate to be born in the United States of America, which has, since its founding in the 18th Century, …
Banality of Evil…Planned Parenthood Butchers Babies
I didn't think I'd have need to use this photograph again. My friends and I have been heartsick the past week, as the videos detailing the evil done by Planned Parenthood have been gradually revealed in videos. Just when it seems that the situation could not be more terrifying, the pro-life group releases a new …

Going Hillsdale and AEI-No Social Security or Medicare for Me
I guess that makes me a risk-taker. I am currently 66 years old, my full SS retirement age, which makes me Social Security and Medicare-eligible. A couple of years ago, I made the decision to reject both SS and Medicare. I am gainfully employed, and expect to be employed for the foreseeable future. I am …

Update to Coining a new Phrase- “Going Hillsdale” AND “Going AEI”
You are probably aware that I am a big supporter of Hillsdale College in Michigan. And that one of their main claims to fame is that they do not accept one red cent of government money; that enables them to teach the liberal arts exactly the way those arts should be taught. Hillsdale's refusal …

I’m having trouble corralling my thoughts on this week’s Supreme Court rulings
My brain seems to be a tangle of thoughts, concerns, and emotions, given the momentous rulings handed down by the nine Ivy League lawyers in black robes in Washington, D.C. Over the experience of humanity, for the last 5,000 years of recorded human history, those nine people have in one stroke, deemed that two people …

Making the most of time spent in the dentist’s chair
I've had a bunch of dental work done lately. I tried something new, to make the time go faster. I don't know about you, but when the dentist or hygienist is working on me, I close my eyes. I decided to start paying attention to what I see behind my closed lids. First of all, …

Are you thinking of going to Medical School? Take this into account first
A couple of weeks ago, there was a story in the Wall Street Journal entitled "Medical-School Test Gets a Revamp". No kidding! The first paragraph reads (sorry, no link, as this is behind the WSJ paywall): "The essay section is out and sociology is in, and test-takers will need to be as familiar with psychology …

The “Affordable” Care Act, better known as Obamacare
It is said that if the lawsuit currently before the Supreme Court (King vs Burwell) goes against the government, the entire structure of Obamacare will collapse. Have you given this some thought? The complete title of the act that is meant to destroy the world's best medical-care system was called the "Patient Protection and Affordable …
