Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...

another Wednesday....

Today is the 4th day of the 30th week, the 26th day of the 7th month, the 207th day of 2017, and: 
  • Americans With Disabilities Day --  the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is signed into law by President George H.W. Bush.
  • Aunts and Uncles Day
  • Independence Day:  Liberia from the American Colonization Society in 1847 and Maldives from the United Kingdom in 1965.
  • National All or Nothing Day
  • National Bagelfest Day
  • National Coffee Milkshake Day
  • One Voice Day
ON THIS DAY:  In657 in the Battle of Siffin, troops led by Ali ibn Abu Talib clashed with those led by Muawiyah I.  In 1615 first Mass and establishment of the First Roman Catholic mission at Trois-Rivières, Québec.  In 1745 the first recorded women's cricket match took place near Guildford, England.  In 1775 the office that would later become the United States Post Office Department was established by the Second Continental Congress; Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania took office as Postmaster General.  In 1882 premiere of Richard Wagner's opera Parsifal at Bayreuth.  In 1887 publication of the Unua Libro, founding the Esperanto movement.  In 1945 the United States Navy cruiser USS Indianapolis arrived at Tinian with parts of the warhead for the Hiroshima atomic bomb.  In 1951 Walt Disney's 13th animated film, Alice in Wonderland, premieres in London, England, United Kingdom.  In 1958 Explorer 4 was launched.  In 1963 Syncom 2, the world's first geosynchronous satellite, was launched from Cape Canaveral on a Delta B booster.  In 1971 launch of Apollo 15 on the first Apollo "J-Mission", and first use of a Lunar Roving Vehicle.  In 2005 STS-114 Mission -- launch of Discovery, NASA's first scheduled flight mission after the Columbia Disaster in 2003. 

 

It has been a tough day.  My daughter shared the details of what she can expect from the chemo treatments that start next Wednesday.  My apartment is in shambles from a leaking HVAC unit and things are all catawampus --  I literally have no place to sit or eat although thankfully I can go to bed in peace.  I am livid that John McCain did not vote against bringing Trumpcare to the Senate floor even though he is enjoying all the perks of good health insurance.  The president chose to tweet again this morning, attacking friends [his Attorney General] and “foes” [Obama and Clinton], making  a policy change for the Armed Services effective immeduately [but does a tweet on his personal twitter account not as @POTUS constitute a valid command a the Commander-in-Chief?], and to announce that in the US we worship God not Government [er, excuse me?  Separation of Church and State mean anything to you?]

 

 

 

And so it goes.  I am worried that what the GOP will do is enviserate the ACA to the point where it will fail.  I am worried that healthcare will be something only the well-to-do will have.  I am worried about life-time caps, pre-existing conditions, charging the sick and elderly astronomial premiums because they are risks, about my insurance company making choices about what care is needed in the name of profit rather than my doctors making the choices of what would be best for me [that last one is already happening with pharmeceutical coverage as I cannot take medication they will not pay for].. 

 



 

Go away world, I need to calm down.
