Another Sister of the Worried

Mornin’ PUMAS – wow Murphy – did Skipper have the H1N1 flu??? Sure hope she’s feeling better…………….been lucky here so far – have only talked to two friends who wound up with that flu…………………..

I didn’t get a shot – haven’t since 2000? or sometime around then & have been either very lucky or just a healthy person which segues into this – Ben Nelson caved but reserves right to vote against bill – wonder what he got in form of payoff? If this piece of shit bill passes, I will refuse to participate – I will refuse to pay any taxes into it & I will institute with as many old people as I can a lawsuit wondering why – after paying into Medicare since it’s inception – I still have to pay a premium of 110.00 a month for services that I do not use….if this is supposed to be so gd wonderful why is there no coverage for vision, for dental, for more than one physical (you get one at the beginning – after that screw you). I am not on prescriptions of any kind but if I don’t pay a premium for that privilege (of taking drugs) now, I have to pay triple or guadruple the price if I ever do start taking them – although I have said to all of my sibs and friends – if anything happens to me – no lifesaving ever – I’ve seen the quality of life and that’s not for me – so let me die. There is nothing is Medicare that helps me at this point but regular insurance is so expensive that I am just in a quandry about what to do – if I buy one of the plans in place of Part B medicare (which is a joke incidently) then I will be paying about 200.00 a month for insurance which is not exactly cheap in order for me to have what? paid for days in the hospital?

I went to one of those meetings held by an insurance company – excuse me – HealthPartners – which calls inself something else besides a Medicare Advantage thingey – if you sign up with them you get the Freedom Plan with three levels of payment costs – whoopee –

I have to make a decision but like the fraud I am dithering becuz I jut don’t know what to do – tried to get answers from the Medicare site – they have a feedback section but when I clicked on it got thrown out of the system & this is another example of our great government in action – I want them out of my life – I don’t want Medicare – it mainly covers the catastrophic stuff & if I’m at that point I said, let me die so what to do, what to do………………………

Suggestions anyone??????????????? Join my pity party??? ;(

Hi PUMAS!
Murphy,
Couldn’t agree more with how the skills of motherhood are not valued. I figure if I can survive motherhood mentally and physically, I can do anything. Of course it’s yet to be seen if I’ll make it through. Have a 13 year old and life is getting very stressful.
But, really, hang in there. It’s so hard when you have a sick child. So worrisome. I’m sure she’ll be ok. She’s got you there to take care of her.
(((Skipper)))
(((Murphy)))

He says bill is train wreck of epic propotions. If bill was good they wouldn’t vote in the middle of the night. And would not rush to pass it. Big cuts in Medicare, hospice. Throwing the seniors under the bus and running over us. I guess we are of no use anymore.

Prplvette85 and any seniors,
The only good news is you are the biggest voting block and hopefully you can VOTE THE BUMS OUT soon!

Hi ((((Sheila))
I am very proud of you! I read about your great accomplishment And you were worried! I am hoping to get my computer back today. Hate trying to blog on these small keys lol

HP
I don’t know who you heard that from but advantag is through Hartford insurance an a++ rated company. They pay claims very quickly. Even when I didn’t sell Hartford. I would tell people to call and compare coverages and price. If they chose the lowest pkg quite naturally coverages not as good. As with any insurance.

Thanks prpl – but AARP is off my radar – I have hated against them since hey started sending me retirement shit before I had even reached age 50 – fuck ‘em – they’re so far up the fraud’s ass that I’m surprised they’re still breathing – beside which they used to claim they were for seniors, run by seniors, etc, etc, etc but their leader is some punk in his 40’s & we old people all know how the younger people in this country feel about older people – let ‘em die cuz they are useless bitter uneducated, know-nothings who are taking up their space……….

Does that make me sound like a bitter, uneducated, illiterate, take up space useless old lady???? Ask me if I care………..

Those congresscritters think that we are gonna forget what they’ve done – not gonna happen – my brain may be full but I am selective about what I forget & this will not be forgotten just like the shit they pulled on 5/31/08 – another day that will live in infamy – bastards …………….

I’m with you HP – my voting for women will be very selective also – just heard on the news about the assholes that went to NATO conference in Scotland on our dime – spent lots of dimes too & Carolyn McCarthy?? from NY went to a spa instead of the meetings cuz she had a bad back………….WTF???? & we paid for this and our military has to act as valets & chauffeurs for these assholes – when did that start???????????? & it needs to stop – they can carry their own damm bags and get their own fuckin’ rental cars – do they think they are royalty or something????

Vote all the bums out including the women who are being assholes too…………………..

Plus we also paid for them to bring their spouses and aides cuz they flew on military jets which makes it okay I guess – fuckin’ ratbastards…………………

Murph- This is not a Mommy Blog…

++++
True, but many of us PUMAs are Moms and I send HUGE HUGs and well wishes to (((Skipper))) and her ever watchful ((((Murphy Mom)))).

Hope that fever kills the invaders and breaks soon.

(((Murphy and Skipper))) – I do hope Skipper will soon be on the road to recovery. It is so difficult to watch and worry.

My precious 16 year old dog’s temperature had spiked to 106.6 by the time we realized anything was wrong and we got her to the vet yesterday afternoon. She died a few hours later. My heart is broken I and am not sure why I am here except that you have been my family this past year.

Oh jeeze – RemVem – I had heard somewhere that dogs were suseptible to the flu too – poor poor thing – I’ve never had kids but I have had pets and they get to be just like family so I really am sorry that happened to you –

I am also hoping that Skipper gets better really quickly too even tho I’m not a mom – I am a damm good auntie tho and great auntie too –

Hugs and kisses to all…………………………

bbl – gotta finish baking cookies……………..

RemVem
So sorry to hear about your dog. It’s a tough loss at a terrible time of the year (in all too many ways) to be dealing with it.

Get well soon, Skipper.

REM VEM I AM SO Sorry for your loss Am holding you in my heart

(((((((Murphy and Skipper))))))))

Get well Skipper…. Murphy please let us know when Skipper breaks her fever and starts to feel better.

Joining the sisterhood of the worried.

((((((RemNov))))))

I’m so sorry about your beloved family member. Sending you lots of love and caring.

RememberNovember,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. When my dog died of cancer a few years ago I was utterly devastated. My heart aches for you right now. Nothing we say can make it better but know that we are all so sorry for your loss.

{{{{{{RememberNovember}}}}}}

remember november, you were a wonderful owner and gave that family member soooooooooo much of your love, that’s the only way i ever get through my pet losses.

Thank you all (((((Puma family))))) – just knowing that you are out there somewhere, and you care, means so much to me, more than you will ever know. What an amazing sisterhood you have brought together Murphy! (With apologies to the occasional male Puma )

Hope Skipper is feeling better soon.

It is snowing big time here.last 2 hrs and I am hating this.
Snow sucks as much as Obama and Islam

And now I am talking to myself lol

FL Barbara
I was just outside cutting paper whites (flowers that spring up in cooler weather) – they think it is already Spring. It is warm here… not so Christmassy feeling… Let’s just revel in knowing that we are never happy where we are at… We’re taking off to the snow before Christmas – to get some R & R before Jan 3 when Fred and us will be travelling for work ALLLL of January starting with New Yuck.

I guess its not sooo bad. My friends from FL called to complain of the rain winter is the dry season it rarely rains in FL now.

HpBoston
Thanks for the good vibes I feel them and right back at you.looking into flights right now.

Freddie,

Enjoy your trip and bring warm clothes. Fred will need a coat for sure.

((((RememberNovember))

When my beloved Gismo died I had him cremated and that poem was attached to his urn. Its 2 years and I miss him so much. So I am sorry for your loss.

((FLBarbara)) – for ((Gismo)) – I understand – the missing part never dissipates. My heart goes out to you too and to all who have lost a loved one.

Just think, the snow where you are is, at least, pretty at first but the rain in FL is just wet

Oh (((Remember))), I am so sorry for the loss of your pup.
It hurts like heck, but know we are all here for you.

For all the Pumas who have lost loved ones and beloved pets this last year, the holidays will be tough. With good days filled with happy memories and sad days that are full of loss.

Remember the pumas that love and care for you during these times. We are part of you and are a family to you also, you are never alone because we are here.

XOXOXO

((((PUMAs))))

Take time to hear the silence, to feel the gentle Peace of the Season.

Wishing on snowflakes for each of you…JOY.

Goofsmom

Hehehehehehehe

(((BillieJo, stoney42))) and (((goofsmom))) – you epitomize Puma family

[Take time to hear the silence, to feel the gentle Peace of the Season.

Again lovely words FLBarbara – yours?

I remember as a kid rushing out into the first snowfall with a piece of black velvet as a pillow on which the snowflakes would settle for a brief moment so that I could see their exquisite and unique beauty with a magnifying glass – imagine that – no two the same! If you’ve never done that – be a kid again – or take your kids/grandchildren and enjoy.

Bye for now everyone – have a peaceful day

Just listening to the news on teevee and hearing an obot ‘progressive’ talk about the senate HC bill is throwing WOMEN UNDER THE BUS, by taking out the funding to women’s health and funding for abortions.

Freakin’ wake up OBOT women, you have been thrown under the bus since the day you cast your vote for the fraud, you just realized it????

—————
Now where have I heard those words before??

(((NikkisMom))) – thank you, yes tissues are needed for that special story. I will be watching for the rainbow. I am so sorry for your aching heart – give your German Shepherd a warm hug – she will understand and comfort you.

(((simofish))) – and that was a wonderful hug you sent – thank you – hugs to Fishy too – treasure every moment you have together.

I should really leave the blog for awhile so that you can all continue being tee’d off about the health care Bill. I would normally be there screaming with you – just cannot summon the wherewithall right now and also have not heard too many leaks about what is currently in the Bill. But you can be sure that we are under the bus as someone said above, if Nelson is on board. I am fit to be tied that they will pass this thing against the wishes of most of the American people. One problem is that those of us against it are opposed for different reasons. I’ll save my rants until I know more. Are they still discussing it in the Senate? – C-span wasn’t covering the Senate a while ago.

Bye again for now.

Long:

Abortion Compromise Draws Fire From Both Sides

The National Organization for Women also issued a statement strongly opposing the language. And in a second statement, more heated and personal, Terry O’Neill, president of NOW, said she was outraged that the Senate Democratic leadership “would cave in to Senator Ben Nelson.”

“Right-wing ideologues like Nelson and the Catholic Bishops may not understand this, but abortion is health care,” Ms. O’Neill said. “And health care reform is not true reform if it denies women coverage for the full range of reproductive health services.”

If this language stays in the bill as is, she said, she would call on senators “who consider themselves friends of women’s rights” to vote against “this cruelly over-compromised legislation.”

But two of the Senate’s champions of abortion rights, Senators Barbara Boxer, Democrat of California, and Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington, issued a joint statement saying they were satisfied with the agreement.

“We said all along that we wanted to ensure there was a firewall between private and public funds — this compromise achieves that,” they said. “We said we would not accept language that prohibited a woman from using her own private funds for her legal reproductive health care – this compromise meets that test.”

But the assurances of Ms. Boxer and Ms. Murray were not enough for some abortion-rights supporters.

Kelli Conlin, president of the National Institute for Reproductive Health, issued a statement saying:

“While we recognize the efforts of our pro-choice women senators to combat the onerous conditions upon which Stupak and Nelson have insisted, we are frankly horrified by the shameful process that has allowed two men to hold American women hostage.”

Vote the pricks and teh women with pricks in their heads, OUT!

Dances – thanks for the catchup on women’s health care issues – un********believable. Some of these Senators are making 2010 decisions a lot easier. I am surprised at Barbara Boxer. As HP says “vote the bums out” – all of them.

Dances – do you know if Skipper is any better? Please let us know if you hear how she is and give Murphy our hugs – I am sure she is too preoccupied to check the blog.

Was just outside we have at least a foot and a half of snow and its still snowing and blowing.
Now I have no snow boots, only heels, so my sister’s dog Jack, a shitsu takes off down the street not plowed yet and its over his head and he is jumping like a rabbit so funny and we are chasing him and my sister falls on her ass and I try to lift her up and I fall so we are laying in the street in the snow laughing and Jack is barking at us and he is covered in snow, he looked so cute in his leather coat and it is snowing hard, so we make snow angels right there in the street and we are reminded of little girls who once had not a care in the world.
So maybe the snow is a way of saying slow down and take some time to be a little girl again. Tomorrow is another day the shoveling can wait and so can everything else.
Snow angels with my sister unexpected Joy.

Just made it to the blog and had to regroup… more tears.

RememberNov..
So SORRY to hear about your Dog! I am sure your heart is broken, and words can not help. Just know that your sorrow is shared here, as well as tears. I am sure she had a most Wonderful and Full life, but will be missed each an every day.

Where are you in Michigan??
Spent 5 years in Sault Ste. Marie on Kincheloe AFB, in the 70’s with ex. Beautiful country, but COLD~~~for this Florida girl.

First time I had ever seen snow! Great for a visit, But HARD to live in everyday. Shovel your way out of the house, shovel the car out, and rule #1.. don’t forget to PLUG the car in at night.
The only major benefit was we never had to buy ice. Just shovel the tub full of snow and fill it with beer..party on. LOL

“I will not even vote for Dem women…none, nada, zilch!!”

Oh, really? Does that include Murphy when she runs?

Yeah, we know how well cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face works.

Meanwhile, those of us really dedicated to making the Dem party pay are sending a thorn to stick in Fraudbama’s side. Martha Coakley will kick arse down in DC…starting with your homophobic Republican male candidate up here in MA. Oh, but he was cute in that Cosmopolitan centerfold. A little less cute when calling out highschoolers by name, but you go right ahead. Homophobic Republican men are not a “backlash” by ANY stretch of the imagination, but you’re so cute when you’re mad, too…and the rest of us will TAKE BACK our party, woman by woman, anyway.

Hi ya Zee and all pumas still online…

I was just poking my nose in the room to see if we had any (((Skipper))) updates…

Happy Penultimate Solstice Eve. 3rd longest night of the year tonight..

Just got around to doing the Schumer is a jackass prowl-Felt good! Better late than never.

HC bill is unfair, unfair, unfair, and unConstitutional. States can opt out of using Federal funds for abaortion services? So are taxes lower in those States? I don’t get how Nelson/Nebraska is getting anything…States are supposed to be treated equally. Therefore, all these reported DEALS for votes are not fair.
Enough already. As soon as I get time I’m changing my registration to independent too. But I wish Murphy luck with them Dems! I’m sure clintondemocrat is out there still. Maybe she could help.

i dont know why my posts appear twice, i know how to click once
LOLLOLOLOL

Murphy, so glad to hear that Skipper is doing better.

RememberNov – I’d rather comfort a PUMA right now than pay attention to the HC bill shit. It’s a done deal – we never had a chance of influencing any vote. Not even Howard Dean can stop that train now.

Our time is better spent now taking care of our own. Have a good day – give yourself some time. I wish I had the ability to take care of 100 dogs, but I’m not sure my psyche could handle it!

Yay, Skipper!!
