[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 619087, member: 84"] Kathy, there is no way to eek out the funds for Obamacare. The truly poor, can't afford it. I know that sounds like an oxymoron but that is the way it is. I saw it coming before it was finalized. The working poor, those on the wire, simply can't squeeze out enough funds from budgets already barely keeping them surviving. And, like I said, if you don't have children, you can forget welfare. I'm not worried about healthcare. I've not had insurance for many years. I just refuse to worry about it because there is nothing at this point I can do to change it. Trinity, I want to see how dealing with local shops ect goes before taking to the mail. I'm not sure I can manage a mail deal at the moment. Not cost wise but time wise. I'll talk to the shops and see about setting up classes for crochet, although I'm no expert by any means. I am, though, seeing many people wanting to learn to read patterns. So that at least, I can help them with. Susie, the Tightwad Gazette has become the family Bible. Not to mention I advise folks at work to look it up and purchase copies for themselves too. I'll hold on. I don't always know how, but I always manage. Meanwhile, my mother just called to tell me she's been in hospital since thurs night after a bad fall flat on her face. She swears nothing was broken but her face is swollen and black and blue and they're doing an MRI. She called me too late tonight for me to do much, but I'll be contacting the nurses station in the morning. Informing them, in case she hasn't, that I am her legal power of attorney for everything, medical and financial and that I need to be kept informed of her condition and if they assess her to not be competent. She didn't sound too bad on the phone except she kept wanting to talk in circles instead of answer my questions. I still have no clue why she fell flat on her face. omg So I may be making a forced trip to Illinois in the very near future. Not to mention my sister in Indy is not improving but is in hospital more than out of it and is currently homeless staying with a neighbor. When it rains it pours. You'd think I'd be used to it by now. *sigh* [/QUOTE]
