I love hot weather and thoroughly enjoyed the upper 70's and lower 80's this week. It is always windy in Illinois, so the wind does not bother me.

Since there is nothing ever scheduled at 5am, that is when I do my home work-outs. I swam today, and brought my cell into the pool to call home after my swim to make sure everyone was remembering everything they were suppose to remember. Once my family understood that I WILL work-out and it is...

So far, that is the only thing, 2500 cap and no OTC. I don't see this item being a big tax revenue producer as very few people use that high of an amount.

Doing the race will set you back more at this point, and then future races could be in jeopardy. Give yourself the permission to slow down, rest and heal. This race will be around next year, and the year after and so on. I was sidelined with pneumonia one year for 3 months. Once I was...

The pre-existing issue also can be fought. If you have always carried insurance and evidence of insurability, an insurance company cannot deny your claim based on pre-existing illness. If you have a lapse of coverage, then they can. We actually played around with the idea of dropping...

You basically have it right. Flex spending will be capped at 2500. Before there was no cap, although employers often did cap it. I believe starting in 2011 over the counter meds will not be able to be reimbursed through flex spending. I actually read this and did not think much of it. I...

Still hunting for information about the taxes in Mass, but I found this document which was written in December 2007. It is only 13 pages long and page 11 touches on sustainability issues. This plan is very, very similar to what will happen nationally, so check this out since it is only 13...

Buffy, I will try and find out these things, because those are important points, and not raising taxes would be a selling point a Republican would do. Scott Brown also was involved in voting it in, but then ran on a ticket that seemed to say it was not a good idea. Even if they did not raise...

I thought 3 was easier than 2, and really enjoy them both, so this may be worth taking a look at!

If the entitlements are not sustainable due to their cost, eventually they will have to be cut back. That is why it should have been smaller and addressed the immediate concerns of the uninsured, and spent less. In Massachusetts, they have already starting cutting people off of the...

Buffy, I am taking Econ 101 right now, and yes, one of the ways to combat recession is to circulate more currency, so it needs to be done. It is a strange concept to think about, but a weaker dollar actually helps exports and stimulates spending. As I have said before, Massachusetts also...

I did not get an iphone for my 22 year old, but one that is a smart phone and thought it was a splurge. He loves it. I probably have 2000 dollars worth of legos stored away. It was the only thing I could not part with when my son moved out. I love legos, and so did my kids, and we have such...

Fact check on the health bill: http://www.factcheck.org/2010/03/a-final-weekend-of-whoppers/

back at ya Buffy, you made me smile. Hopefully we have one thing in common, Americans, who truly want the best for this country. Have a good evening.

Buffy, I distinctly remember all of this playing out at the time, and what fact check has matches what I remember. I news all the time back then, and Bush got intel from the British, and using that, Bush and Congress felt that Irag was a threat. It is ridiculous that all these lies about that...

I did, I got 2300 yards of swimming in before work. Tomorrow will probably be Bootcamp, and more swimming on the weekend. Since the new health bill says I have a chronic illness(BMI over 25), I am working on being a healthier American!

I read that about Castro today on CNN's site, and then Castro proceeded to rip Obama to shreds on other things. Of course his country is having tremendous financial difficulty as well.

These are the quotes I remember, and fact check does a nice job debunking. To lie you have to KNOW you were wrong. I remember Bush being adament because he believed the intel, and obviously congress did too. The Liberals make him out to be a war monger, but his country was attacked when he...
