She doesn’t really need any Nursery or Furniture items, so that is a plus, we couldn’t afford anything like that but there are plenty of Babies and Toddlers items that we could pool our money together to get for her. This is her second child so she does have plenty of items left over from the first one, which is a good thing. Babies are expensive and it adds up real quick like.

Since she doesn’t plan on Nursing and Feeding the baby from her god given breasts there are bottle items to consider, but those don’t cost much and I’m sure she will be getting a variety of those types of products from a variety of sources.

Planning a surprise baby shower isn’t easy, but I think that we can pull it off. It will be fun and I look forward to seeing the look on her face when we catch her off guard next month. It’s all good!

And lab coats are not just for pharmacists and eye doctors anymore and some of the nursing uniforms are really attractive and look like they would be comfortable to wear. The majority of folks that are on their feet (medical personnel certainly stay on their feet all day) are wearing those funky looking crocs/clogs that have been selling like crazy in the last 10 years or so now. But if it feels good do it, right?

Look at this cute baby dressed in a pair of scrubs. There is something about little, tiny, miniature, things, especially shoes are just the cutest ever.

I’ve just found this interesting article – click here for the story.

Like most folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem). What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don’t have to pass a urine test.

So, here is my Question: Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ass – doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

I guess we could title that program, ‘Urine or You’re Out’.

There is even a good Surviving Mesothelioma website that I ran across the other evening that offers a free copy of the book “Surviving Mesothelioma” written by Paul Kraus, who was diagnosed with this type of cancer and given only a few short months to live. Twelve years later he is still alive and kicking and is offering his advise and knowledge of this disease in this book.

I’ve only known one person that has had to deal with Mesothelioma. He was exposed to this cancer while serving in the Navy. He was diagnosed in the early stages and so far he has done well with it, but it has taken it’s toll on him, his life, his family, his work, the list just keeps getting longer. I also know that he got an attorney right from the get go and his wife is very active and knowledgeable with his health issues and all the paperwork that goes along with the whole ordeal. Guess I’ll have to try and give him a call and see how he is doing. It’s been a couple of years by now, so it’s been too long not to have touched based with him. There is no time like the present!

I have a friend that moved to Australia late last year and is finding that a new life in a new country is becoming a challenge. He is finally settled in at his new job and found a nice place to move his family into and is now trying to stabilize things just a bit. He has been researching insurance needs and possibilities in the world “Down Under”.

We have been exchanging some interesting emails and links since he left America and I always find his emails interesting and entertaining. He has sent me links that offer accident cover policies, funeral cover policies, since he plans on staying there for the remainder of his and his wives lives and several other aspects of the insurance industry in his own surroundings. The only type of insurance that he isn’t looking into seems to be guardian income insurance, which he really shouldn’t have any use for, but one never knows in this day and age, right?
