Slipping through the cracks

I really need an IPhone or a Treo. There are so many fun things I want to blog about when I am not right near the computer that slip through the holes in my swiss cheese brain.

Micci and Lorelei have been dazzling me with one-liners--and poof gone--into the ether between my ears. Although I do remember a cute think Ivy (my niece) said when we were on vacation: "My head is creeping me out!"

Like I did with Micci, I am trying to train Lorelei to be polite--you know asking for things instead of demanding them in a high-pitch-only-dogs-can-hear voice. But somehow she also inherited a smart ass gene.

Lore: I want milk NOW!!!!!

Me: How do you ask?

Lore: (With a tilted head and a sweet voice) Nicely!

Oh--I am wondering how much our Health Care would be helped if the AMA stopped limiting how many people could go to Med School (thereby limited how many Doctors there are)? I also believe the health care prices are unneccessarily jacked up. Right now I am really feeling for my poor BIL who crashed his motorcycle and is now faced with 10s of thousands of dollars in medical bills (he's got pins in his leg and an over night stay in the hospital without health insurance).

That was my soap box rant for the day. (I am against Universal (i.e. like the UK and Canada has) Health Care in the US because I don't see it working in this world we call reality. Now if you leave a comment--I'll elaborate if you wish...

Oh, oh, now I have a valid reason for wanting an iphone or Treo (well the treo I might be able to better justify as a "work" tool) ... I like it, I like it.

Thanks for the reminder to check and see what you've been up to since vacation ... I have to put the link on my blog or I forget to check often enough and that would be no fun at all. ;-) ... And YOU rock ... love reading your bits. :-)

Thanks Tami you are sweet.

Anonymous! Thank you! You are my first hate comment in the entire 7 years of me blogging! Awesome.

For the record--we were at Myrtle Beach for 7 days--I swam, walked, built sand castles, and read as well. But I did knit a lot--because I KNIT therefore I am.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my boring drivel. I am honored by a fellow San Antonian gracing me so.
