Yes, I'm still around - Commentary

Hello to everyone who occasionally reads my posts. I've been very busy with a new job and with luck, will be hired on as a permanent employee soon, with benefits!

If you don't understand what living with no health insurance means, dig through my earlier posts and you can get a dose of my reality.

And speaking of health insurance, you can bet I'm not happy with George W. Bush for vetoing the children's health insurance plan for under-privileged children in America. Republican Party please note, I want to vote Republican, but you guys have got to get real about the war in Iraq (getting our troops out), and also realizing that there's a poverty crisis here in the U.S. If you don't believe me, do a web search on "teen pregnancy Mississippi" and find out what's really going on. Many young girls, age 17 years old or less, high teen pregnancy rates, high infant mortality and mortality in children age 2 or less. I say, charity starts at home, USA !!!

By the way, please see my previous post on staph infection or MRSA. It's been a big item in the Houston news media lately. Sunday or Monday's Houston Chronicle had an article about a mother and son in Spring Branch who have battled the infection, including frequent trips to the Texas Medical Center for IV antibiotics.

Be safe, healthy and happy...Terre
