Why do humans have to pay to stay alive? Part 4-1
I hate medical insurance! Actually, I don’t hate what medical insurance does for people, I just hate that it has to exist. Medical insurance, especially when provided or partially provided by an employer, can cover many things that would have otherwise come out of your paycheck. That is where I see the benefits ending. Depending on your coverage, you may be charged on top of what you pay for insurance if you seek care anywhere that is not supported by your plan, seek care that is not deemed essential, seek care that goes beyond your deductible, and you will probably have to pay copays anywhere you go for anything anyone does (or doesn’t do)!

The Inner Child Within Us
The older I get, the more aware I become of my need to re-live my childhood. It’s funny, when we are young, all we want to do is dream about when we are older and everything we will get to do. And then we get older and realize it was so much easier when we were kids.

How Things Work
At the height of the initial wave of the Covid Pandemic in March and April of 2020, I organized some thoughts about what was happening in the world. I think those thoughts are still valid, or at least, valid for a time when another such pandemic rocks our world.

"Just Leave It In The Box!"
My husband went to college for accounting. So, I learned the meaning of the rhyme, dog name sounding, accounting term LIFO FIFO early in our marriage. It simply means “Last In, First Out.” The revised version for his wife: “If you bring something into the house, take something out of the house.” A Hoarder, he is not.

He noticed that seaweed was clogged in the jet system. While he was cleaning it he placed his hand at extactly the right spot where it caused it to be tipped.When we got home her mom lended me clothes while I waited for mine to be washed and dried. The clothes were thrice my size. And the briefs weren’t even mine.

History in context
History in context History should only be taught when in the context of the relevant age. Explaining that at some time back in history, people did things that we now find reprehensible, is fine if the teaching includes information about the "standards," the understanding, the knowledge of that time. Just telling anyone that something, that is now illegal, was then commonly practised, makes those with less experience believe it was a criminal act at the time it occurred, so they make a moral judgement on people in history, a judgement that is flawed.

Role-play
We played to be different people, without ever touching—-we kissed, without ever holding one another, we fell into a deep shared breath, collapsing and carrying our weight into the ongoing part we each needed the other to be, and completed our first dream date through living someone else’s life.
