[My] Life in Wisconsin

Health-(Care), Ellsburg, ~and Woodpeckers? hehehe


Yay!
That's more like it!



Good Morning All;
I have decided that I am going to be very busy today. I am even going to try to mow lawn, *if* I can get that darned (new) belt on. 
(And then *if* I can get *on* the darn thing).  hehehe

Truly, the grass (and weeds) are to the point I cannot stand to even look out the windows anymore.
What the hell difference will it make, honestly, if I fracture a few more vertebra?
Either way, it hurts like shit anyway, so who cares the difference?  Not I.  Not anymore.
 
Besides, then I will be able to at least peek out my windows from time to time, and not just *wish* I had a better view.
(Besides, it is to rain tomorrow and I won't be going out to mow then).


I have been up since about 2:30- And CAB, that darn site just ate my comments and I wasn't about to repeat them.  (I will tell you tho, that  I  happen to like "Son of a Preacher Man").  hehehe


I had the TV on too- As I listened to Daniel Ellsburg  (AKA "The Most Dangerous Man in America") speak about the Pentagon papers that are all open to the public now, I was intrigued by what he had to say about The Vietnam War...

Ellsburg is the man who got his hands on leaked Pentagon papers some 40+ years ago. This morning he said that he had sat on those papers for 2 years after reading them- This was his ONLY regret about reading them- having them in his possession and all, and not doing anything.
 
Ellsburg also said, "...that made me believe that what I was involved in, in Vietnam, was NOT a noble cause that had gone wrong."
Why is he just now saying this?

Furthermore people, don't you see what the Republicans are going to try to do to the HealthCare we fought so hard for?
They will be having those same regrets in another 40 years- And that THEY WILL BE SINGLEHANDEDLY RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING EVEN MORE AMERICANS than the Vietnam War that Ellsburg "regrets" today.
(Why am I not surprised)?

To quote Jefferson Adams of the San Fracisco Examiner, (and from 2 years ago),
"Every two years, 1,700 American children die from lack of healthcare. That's the equivalent of a World Trade Center disaster every four years-with kids as victims.  Over the last twenty years, America has lost nearly 17,000 children because they lacked access to health care, this according to a study released by the Johns Hopkins Children's Center."

I ask you all, and all over again, How many MORE of our children must, and will, die, if these Republicans of ours REMOVE the insurances that our children were just given in September 2010?

Lord I am getting SO tired of asking questions that boggle our minds, crush our spirits, and murder our children, and other loved ones!

It is "ethnic~cleansing" by law - nothing more, nothing less. Please vote accordingly next year.
Yes, it's a long way off. 
That said, I can almost guarantee that you will be angry with me if you don't like the HealthCare Bill
.   ;-)  
Please think twice- Save your anger for our babies.
I promise to post the FACTS, not hearsay.  I further promise to post ALL linked documentation.



Back to Flintville...
I see that my woodpecker is back-

Cnv1325
-and nesting in my house?!?!
Pretty darn ballsy of them if you ask me!
hehehe



It is almost time for my next doses of medication, but I will rest a bit for a while first. Maybe eat a sandwich, or for sure I will hear from Polly. hehehe 
She says I do not eat well enough because of the pain and the drugs- that it is a vicious circle.
I know she is right. But I do try. After that I will go wrestle the machinery.

I'd best get going then if I am to accomplish anything today.

I hope all is well in your little corner of the world...
My love to all

XOXO
Me

  1. I never heard that phrase and I had no idea what pecker head meant until my husband told me about 30 years ago. I thought it was just a cute nick name for a goofy person when I heard it. Turned out that I was the goofy person.

    HEY. It's not just the children. Where will the children be if their parents don't have health care? Why do so many people speak only of the children, (I don't mean you), as if with health care, they'd be a little tribe of independent self survivors. Scheesh. Everyone in this country should have exactly the same quality of insurance. So, why don't we start putting pressure on politicians who get top notch? I mean, REAL pressure! Don't they also continue to get it after they're OUT? Do our beloved war criminals GWB, Cheney, etal, continue to get health insurance? Does anyone know how to start a PETITION?

  5. Annie, I agree with Scootch, don't even try to cut the lawn, I don't want you to fracture a few more vertebra.

  6. You need to hire you a "farm hand"...lol I'm sure someone would come ride your mower for you. Wish you were in Kansas...my grandson is being industrious this summer and cutting yards for folks! He and a buddy have themselves a little business going.

    Send any and all unneeded or unwanted rain SOUTH...PLEASE... we are drying up and begining to burn up down this way. Can't even get watermelons out of the fields because they have NO water in them.

    Please keep woodpecker....we left the one that lived with us in Birmingham. They were ballsy there as well!
