Garage Sales and Baseball

Published on in: ,
Baby had two firsts today!

Early this morning, she and I arrived at her Aunt P's house to set up for a garage sale. Great fun, good money made, and lots of junk gone.



Then...we headed to the Ranger's Ballpark for Spoiled Baby's first ever baseball game. Now...you know I wish her first game could have been with the Phillies. But this was still a fantasically fun time!!! Baby could actually have cared less that we were at a game, but she was in people watching HEAVEN!



How are you doing this weekend?

Back from Hiatus

Hi, folks!

Well, things are still crazy. But...I guess they always will be. So rather than wallowing in that, time to refocus on the good parts of life! I will probably not be posting a ton over the next couple months, but the goal is to get ramped back up to more regular posting by the holidays.

Thanks for your patience and for continuing to visit me here at Breakfast at Tiffany's!

Obama and Healthcare = Nausea

Published on in: , ,
So there's this funny thing about Obama. He actually causes me to NEED healthcare...because whenever I hear him speak about it, I become nauseous. A recap of my tweets during his speech tonight:

  • Because wiggling my nose didn't have the intended effect of getting the Spender in Chief off my TV, I'm going tweet about his "ideas."
  • If the country for which I was the chief elected official was in as bad a shape as ours, I wouldn't have a big grin on my face like HE does.
  • OBAMA has pulled the economy back from the brink? He actually got that out with a straight face? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
  • I hope that Obama WILL be the last president to address this issue. Let's tell him firmly NOW that he needs to go away and end it.
  • Obama is trying to put insurance companies out of business. If he headed a company trying to limit another, it'd be an antitrust issue.
  • Hey Obama, if our healthcare system is so bad, why do people come here from all over the world, seeking treatments unavailable elsewhere???
  • Presidents should be required to run a company before running the country. CLEARLY, this man has ZERO business sense. OBAMA=FAIL.
  • Let me be very clear on something here: I would be just as opposed to these "healthcare reform measures" if it was McCain advocating them.
  • THAT'S THE PROBLEM - everybody's "part" should be taking care of themselves...not making insurance coverage mandatory.
  • The government deciding if a business can afford insurance for it's employees is Big Brother at it's scariest.
  • His guiding principle is choice? Don't make me laugh. If he was about choice, he wouldn't be ramming this proposal down our throats.
  • Not having pre-existing condition exclusions will put insurance companies out of business. "Giving" to those who can't afford will as well.
  • How can this joker say in one breath that he isn't trying to put ins. companies out of business while arguing so stridently against them?
  • What the heck poll is Obama looking at? The polls I've seen say that tax-paying Americans do NOT favor a public option.
  • I'm sorry; the government regulating costs is completely at odds with the most fundamental ideals of capitalism.
  • The key to healthcare reform isn't single payer or forced competition or mandated covered. It's tort reform. Stop frivolous lawsuits, done.
  • Oh, good. Obama will protect Medicare. Which is going broke anyways. Yay.
  • It's NOT better politics to kill the plan than to improve it. It's better SENSE. Take out politics.
  • Oh good. Teddy could imagine what it would be like to not have insurance. Too bad he didn't imagine getting Mary Jo out of his sinking car.
  • Ha! Medicare as a good example of government healthcare? Then why does my mom need a $400/mo supplemental plan to cover just basics?

Yeah...if this goes through, we're screwed.
