Say What I Think

Okay let me start by saying I hate scaretactics, and I really get angry when our politicians start using them. We do not need scaretactics. I was starting to seriously consider one of our canadates over the other one even though he wasn’t in our normal voting preference. I am known to vote different every year and I don’t have a problem because I try to pick the canadate who I feel would best fill the role.

The biggest problem with politicians is you never know if they are being honest. There are times when the ads come on and you can say that not true or that stretching the truth a little to far.

Tonight a commercial came on my husband and I saw for the first time which made us mad. The ad was for our democrated canadate I want to say Madia, it was a health insurance scare type commericial.  Okay let me correct him on something most insurance will not accept patients with pre-existing condition. I know this because I am a asmthatic and some companies will not take me on because I had to be on a couple of steriod inhalers to control my asmtha. Currently I don’t have health insurance but when I have had it through my company, which I can’t right now I had to wait a year before my asmtha was covered.

Okay, so he got this cancer patient running and talking about the republicain canadate plan to make health insurance harder to get. Well lets get a clue, health insurance if you already have something will be harder to get, maybe impossible because insurance company don’t want to have a lot of risks. I am not disagreeing that health care should be easier to get to, I am not disagreeing pre existing condition should be covered by the insurance. But I think Media has got some facts wrong here it wasn’t our republican who caused this problem it’s greed on capital hill which caused this problem. The problem is these insurance companies being allowed to charge a arm and a leg.

Hey you know I don’t have a problem wih privatising insurance, because I can’t afford it anyways. I do have a problem with making it even more out of reach for the everyday average joe. I am not saying the government should take care of it, because we know if they get to much power we’d be giving up more freedom until we become a country with no freedom. There is a reason why the founding father arranged the government how they did, and right now it seems like both sides are trying to make more government and less freedom.

I will say I am surprised I have enjoyed this game as much as I have. The battle format is a turn based, but I think what I like about it is that I am able to travel around and explore with their characters. The battles are normally not to hard to conquere. I would say their battles if you think about what each emeny strong point or weakness are, you aught to be able to conquire it.
I have died once because of my stratagy not being the best one for the game but after I figured out to attact one of the boss first and kill that one off because the other boss didn’t have a strong attack but had plenty of life.
I hate the dilect in the game it’s like horrible english, or maybe pig english would be the best way to call it. I can’t stand it when people write like that. I know they are trying to be new and different then most games but I find games which write like this make it harder to understand what is expected from your character. So far I like the princess who strong headed she wants to go out explore the word. She has to sneak out of the castle to get her way and eventually she gets her way from her dad, then he loses his voice and she has to go and get the medican he needs which comes from elfs. All of her battles are relatively easy ones, and she got two friends who goes with her to protect her. I hate to say this but I think she stronger then they are unless they’re using magic. Not all character who are on their own have magic abalities and I really do prefer those abailities.
Later in he game you get a character looking for arm for the castle, he’s interesting to say the least. Some of the armour he finds he probably getting paid better for then what Ferrari parts would be.
What I like about the game is the graphics those are pretty good, for such a small system. Trees actually look like trees and rocks look like rocks they have done a pretty good job of making the people and monstor look real. The story line is harder to follow because of the way they have wrote it but once you get used to it it’s not to bad. Now my husband probably would have no trouble with this game because he is used to the series and I started at 4. I have yet to get to the part of the game where I have more character then space to play them eventually I will get there.

I think this is my favorite flavor of Dr. Pepper here. I love cherries in general and boy does it taste good in Dr. Pepper. I also am a big fan of vanilla, sometimes I will take vanilla extract and put it in a regular Dr. Pepper and it’s good. This is another type of Dr. Pepper which has to be chilled before I can drink it, warm it just tast strange and doesn’t have a nice taste, cold it’s like one of the best things to have.
This one has cherries on the can and is the normal brown color with some red on it. I wish they made this flavor in the bottles that are 24 onces. Well I haven’t been getting those bottles for a while, I like the cans because I can have a pop with lunch and dinner. If I start drinking it in the morning with Breakfast then I drink a whole lot more then I want to be drinking.
If I have kids I they will probably have baby clothes from Dr. Pepper I seem to be a huge fan of them. You know what would probably be fun to put some ice cream in the Cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper.

My favorite brand of pop is Dr. Pepper. Now I will say Dr. Pepper is the opposite of a good weight loss product. You want to lose weight this probably isn’t the best way to do it. I have 2 Dr. Peppers aday at least sometimes more. The other day my husband got me 2 12 packs of pop. One was the Berries and Cream, it tastes good to me.
The regular Dr. Pepper I can stand warm and can drink it but not this stuff. The Berries and cream needs to be chilled if it not it tastes strange, but now Iced it is yummy and pleasant.
it comes in a pinkish purple color can, and has a few raspberries on the label. There is a good balance of the berries and the cream in the pop. You can taste the hint of berries and cream but still has a undertone of the Dr. Pepper grant it, it changes the taste but it complements the pop.
I like the Berries and cream with sandwhich and chips it like a nice little desert with dinner. The pop still has the nice level of fizzyness to it, and it sweet tasting but not overly so.

The other day I decided I would try Sudafed PE, they do not use any fake sugars to sweeten it. This is attractive to me because of my fake sugar allergies. I have to be careful. The first time I used Sudafed was as a kid with allergies it worked than pretty well. I have tried other thing as an adult, because after a while it got less effective for me. It’s been a long time since I used them, and I decided I would try again.
Sudafed for me works well if it a minor cold or upper resp cold. But once it gets beyond that it doesn’t work enough because the cough expectorant isn’t strong enough. There is no real taste to it which I prefer I rather have a icky tasting med with out sweetness. The main problem with Sudafed is that you have to take it every 4 hours which is a pain to remember. Over all it works if your congestion is very mild, I think there allergy meds might be better then the cold/flue meds. One thing that they don’t help with is acne treatments.

Last night I had class, I earn a little money on the side, and normally school nights I decide to eat out. Last night I lift home a little after 4pm I had to decide where I would have dinner. It pretty easy to get to school from here but it does take me a little longer. I needed to fill up on gas on my way to class and I was able to do that and still make it to school on time.
One nice thing on the way to Taco Bell is that on the highway I use they have those digital signage, you know the ones which tell you how long to the next highway. It gives an idea of how long it will take you to finally hit your place. I got to Taco Bell Earlier then I thought I would, but was in there a lot longer then I thought I be. I started talking to someone there, actually he started talking to me. I don’t get it, this often happens to me where people will just start talking to me. Maybe I have a friendly face, or it’s how I carry myself. Maybe it’s a G-d thing, that could be eat. I was eating my lunch and the gentle and my cell rang it was hubby telling me Cubs had a fire. Wow you gotta be kidding me, I wonder how long they be close, he said probably open today. Well I not going anywhere I don’t feel well enough today and no sense and run my self down. The guy at Taco Bell told me you just can’t seem to get away from Cellphone, I told him well if it wasn’t my husband I wouldn’t have answered.
He started talking to me about everything he served in the military I want to say the Marines many years ago. We spoke about the stock market and dow and what that was doing. He talk about some strange thing. To be honest I am not sure how much of it was the truth, I gonna have to look some of the stuff he said to me. He was a nice guy. At the end of dinner, I told him good bye I had to get to class. He was interested in college, expecially when I told him I was attending the UOP and they have a campus here. I love it at the UOP. So that took a little time, he had suggested I pack up and go down there and go on campus. I know what it’s like in AZ and I think I will stick with the original plan of action graduating here in MN, and then eventually moving back to Oregon.
When I order my dinner the cashier must not have heard me well, because she never got my side of sour cream on it and never gave me my large drink. I will give her my voice right now isn’t very loud. The food at least was served hot and it tasted good.

My husband wanted to get some Halloween Candy, he a fan of that candy corn stuff. I like it to but my hubby is a huge fan of candies. Maybe we should own a Candy store he be as happy as a 5 year old kid in a candy store with a dollar. I think my husband would be in a lot of trouble if he ever became diabetic, it’s amazing he’ll eat all the unhealthy stuff happily but forget the healthy greens. I love him, and he a sweet man probably all that candy.

He got 3 different flavors at target one was mango and something, one was smore flavor and I can’t remember the 3rd flavor. I asked him if he was going to share with me, when we got home he asked for a baggy. He them told me I am not going to do it the sciencetific way, meaning the way I devide candy I buy for us. I break it in half litterly, and pain stackingly. I don’t expect him to do that with candy he mostly likes I just wanted a few for a tast. I like candy corn but I don’t always eat it all, so sometimes it best to just have a little bit. We walked around in Target for a little while and went to look at their medication. The meds which the pharmacist suggest where at least 5$ cheaper there, the generic type was over 6$ cheaper. Great I should have waited my husband was nice to me when I said I could kick myself. He said your doing the I don’t feel good and wanna feel better now. He’s right but you know I am taking Economics in school right now and I couldn’t help but think about that class. We were finally ready to check out at Target, you know what I have noticed they didn’t ask if we wanted to apply for a credit card. Thank goodness I hate it when they ask and say if you do this then you get 10 percent off your purchase, maybe if they was offering  Vegas vacations, I’d be interested in applying.  Our cashier was nice and polite with us, but Target we normally do not have trouble. Here’s how my husband and I should go when we have medical questions go to Walgreens and then go and look at Target and see if it’s cheaper if not then go back. I know it sounds like a lot of time but shoot sometimes spending the time is better then spending the money.

When I travel and need medical advice I always think of Walgreens first, maybe I should use this same idea at home. In my earlier post I spoke about our expereince with another pharmacist, so after we was done with most of our shopping I suggest to my husband going to Walgreens. Here’s the only reason why Walgreens isn’t always my first choice they are so expensive.I wish I would have waited to get the meds the pharmacist suggested until we went to target. I spend 9.99 on the generic stuff, I was just thinking I gotta get something to help me breath and break up my congestion. I am fairly.
We went straight to the pharmacist, I explained to him everything. I made sure to mention I have already had an allergic reaction to a cough syrup because of the fake sugars in it. I told him anything safe for a diabetic isn’t going to be safe for me.
Over a year ago I was in the ER with an allergic reaction to cough syrup form the sugar, it was one of the most unsettling things for my husband and maybe for me. My husband now before letting me eat anything reads labels asks question. I think he scared of seeing me that weak. I love him he great. The pharmastic took time to listen. Suggested the same thing I was doing already. I explained to him I was already using Sudafed PE, and it not working enough for the congestion. It works but not strong enough. He them suggested continue doing what I been doing and get some Mucus Relief DM. He said Sudafed didn’t have a strong enough cough med in it to help break it all up. I asked him was it safe to take both of them at the same time, he said yes. I looked at the active ingredants Sudafed has only 100mg of the Expectorant and the Mucos relief has 400mg. I not sure how much is to much but 500mg to me seems a little on the higher side, but it has work pretty good as far as helping me not cough so much over night. I started talking it right away when I got it so I had 2 doses before going to bed. I still coughed but wasn’t up all night. My husband was looking at everything there we like browsing, one thing I didn’t see there was weight loss pills. I ended up deciding on the Mucus relief and not the name brand.
What amazes me how you can go to one place and get some form of answer and go to another place and be treated like your in there hair. I am hoping this works because if it don’t then it means I have to see a doctor and get on something else and I don’t wanna do that.

Yesterday my husband and I ran to Wal-mart, we needed cat food, shavers, shaving cream and medication stronger then Sudafed. I caught something over the weekend, I started feeling it Saturday evening and by Sunday I was simply misserable. Sunday I started taking Sudafed PE, and Wendesday I woke up finally feeling alot better. I ended up working over 11 hours on Wendesday, yesterday I woke up and I was worst then my lowest point when it first started. I think the day before I work to many hours for just recovering and probably earned myself being worst off, this is what we get when we put earning money above health. Now I been sick for close to a week, and it’s acting like a upper resp infection I get them quit often, and I know most doctors want you sick with it for a week or more before giving anything for it. I had a doctor a few years ago I could go into him now and he’d probably get that I know it’s already into broncitist or a upper resp infection but no work has pretty much equaled try dealing with this on my own.
My husband and I had questions for the pharmastist I went before him, and asked her what I could do. She suggested what I was already doing and I told her I been doing that already but I need something more powerful for the cough. I want to be able to sleep at night, because with a upper resp infection I normally don’t sleep well at night. She pretty much said there was nothing I could do. It wasn’t her telling me there was nothing I could do but the attitude of get out of my hair. It didn’t really bother me, until I seen it with my husband.
My husband next had the question, he got some tendionist in his foot or something, and was told to get a heel cup to help with it. He had asked the pharmacist if they had them and she gave him the attitude of get out of my hair, and said they where over there and pointed in the general area. To me she seemed a little impatient but that okay. We was able to find my husband his heel cup. I wonder how well it works and if they feel as comfortable as a new pair of Clarks shoes.
We got the kitty food, otis aught to be very happy, he gets to eat. I was able to find shaving cream for me, and my husband found his body wash. He wanted me to smell them but I told him no, I already can’t breath and if I go and smell them and they strong it probably a asmtha attack waiting to happen. I probably will try something hubby used last cold flue season for congestion. It was a Tablespoon full of Organic Vinger AppleCider, and a Tablespoon of Honey, with water and heated. This seemed to help clear him up I wonder if it will work with my cold.
It is amazing I hardly ever get the flue, or common cold but I get exposed to the flue or common cold it seems to turn right into a upper resp infection. The only real problem at Wal-mart was the pharmacist having the get out of my hair attitude. At the register everyone was very nice.

I love candles, my favorite thing is to watch the flame flicker. It just relaxing. My Grandma just a little over a year ago gave me a Floransense Fresh Strawberry Pie Candle. I opened it once when I was with Granny to take a sniff of it. It smelt yummy. I am picky on candles because I do not want something to strong, there are a few I do not care for, and won’t buy it.
The other day I decided to light some candes and I’d lite my Floransense Fresh Strawberry Pie Candle, it still gave a nice scent out. I have always had candles even when I lived with Granny. She is part of why I am how I am. If it wasn’t far here I wouldn’t be where I am at today. Grant it life isn’t perfect not like I am rich and can buy her a home, but I am far better then I would be with out here. One thing about Granny never tell her you like something expecailly if your me or one of her grand children. I wouldn’t say she favores me but I think her and I have a special relationship because she helped me grow up. Granny doesn’t usually light the candles so there no telling how long, she had this candle but I am betting at least a year or 2 before I got it. I have a couple candles I will never light and if my hubby lights them he going to have one unhappy wife.
But back to the candle, it comes in a red jar, it’s have and seems to be ceramic. It has a top on it so you don’t have to blow out the flame just place the top on and it out. I like candles similar to this style because you don’t have to worry about wax getting on the home theater carpeting. Once I had a candle in a dish, and I went to blow it out and had was fly up into my face and out a few feet and hit my pet rat. Poor little creature I felt horrible, for the rat, never again did I place that dish anywhere near anything that could be burned and fell it. This candle there less likelyhood of being burned with by the wax but I am sure if I really tried I could succeed at that.
