Just Because....: Della
http://natels-natesmusings.blogspot.com/2010/03/della.html
The dumping ground for my mind. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Monday night, I watched our cat, Della, die. I was not particularly attached to Della. In fact, when my wife's last cat died, I said I did not want another cat. That said: Della was a good cat. She was affectionate and very mild natured. Della was very good with the children. She put up with a lot of grief from our two-year-old, Noah. All she asked from us was food and water and to be pet once in awhile. I watched her die. April 9, 2010 at 1:32 PM.

Just Because....: Single Payer Now
http://natels-natesmusings.blogspot.com/2009/07/single-payer-now.html
The dumping ground for my mind. Thursday, July 9, 2009. I pay $380.00 per month premium on my employer's plan. That's for what amounts to be catastrophic coverage. $1000 deductable for me. $1000 deductable for my wife. $1000 deductable collectively for the kiddies. Momma becomes preggers in Oct. of 2006. All pre-natal care is deductable. 2007 sees lots of pre-natal visits for impending birth. There are lab tests, ultrasounds, etc., etc. cha-ching, cha-ching. My point in all this is to illustrate why the ...

Just Because....: Rearing Its Ugly Head
http://natels-natesmusings.blogspot.com/2010/01/rearing-its-ugly-head.html
The dumping ground for my mind. Wednesday, January 13, 2010. Rearing Its Ugly Head. I had relaxed a bit on the health care thing. Well.not really relaxed. I had become resigned to there being no real reform. That became very clear with Max Baucus declaring that Single Payer would not be on the table in the reform effort. As soon as that was announced, I knew there would be no real reform. So what brings it back? Why do I want to bitch about this again? Aside from that, the new insurance doesn't cover cer...

The dumping ground for my mind. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Random Dude Becomes Creepy, Random Dude. I last posted a story about a random dude showing up on my back porch looking to bum a cigarette. I asked Joseph, the son, about the guy. I told him the guy was creeping us out. Joseph said he was feeling the same way. He said the guy is someone he used to know that was in a car wreck and had a brain injury. So far, he's complied. Links to this post. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Just a little Heart Attack.

The dumping ground for my mind. Friday, January 15, 2010. Moment of Clarity Authspot. Please read this post by my friend, Frank. It inspired a jolt of self-awareness in me. Moment of Clarity Authspot. I've spent my life trying to conform to society's expectations. I've always pretty much played "the game" and carried out my responsibilities. I know some of the things I'd like to do. I know some of the things I like doing now. But what I do does not necessarily make what I am. Links to this post. It's the...

Just Because....: Kickin' it.
http://natels-natesmusings.blogspot.com/2010/01/kickin-it.html
The dumping ground for my mind. Friday, January 8, 2010. I actually did pretty well yesterday sticking to my limit on cigarettes. I smoked 12. My limit is 10 this week. That sounds like a fail, but considering I was a pack-a-day smoker, I think I did pretty well. I got a couple interesting anonymous comments on my last post regarding the use of Camel Snus. I'm not sure what to make of them. A person directed me to some places to purchase Swedish Snus. I might actually try it out. Einstein Quote of the Day.

The dumping ground for my mind. Thursday, May 21, 2009. Number 27 Story of an Empty Glass. The empty glass sat on the table which occupied an otherwise spartan room. Only moments before, the glass held what was left in the now equally empty bourbon bottle sitting next to it. Pessimists and Optimists would have no argument over this glass. For it was most decidedly, undeniably and irrefutably empty. The man sits and stares at the empty glass on the table. He sees the emptiness. He knows the emptin...I was...
