Next time I housesit, I'll have to try dancing for the cat.<br /><br />DANIA: The stories about what people have to do to get health care are laughable! Or tragic. Both, really.<br />Thanks for the google translator! <br /><br />JEN: That's the thing with history--it's so weird, but if it becomes over-familiar (like Bible stories may be) we forget that. <br />Yeah, they TOOK OFF THE ROOF... It's so wild!<br />Same with American history--I'm being reminded how freaky it is.<br /><br />FMNSMO: Thanks for your encouragement!<br /><br />MARGARET & CLOWNCAR: Why, it's Zefram Cochrane, from Star Trek, dancing for Babe! Or, is it Prince Philip? <br />(At any rate, I gather James Cromwell is a longtime vegetarian.)<br /><br />Thanks for the tip--I had totally forgotten that scene.Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-475321690379871752010-03-29T10:52:09.458-05:002010-03-29T10:52:09.458-05:00p.s. - I just saw where Margaret was reminded of t...p.s. - I just saw where Margaret was reminded of the very same thing!Clowncarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219213001049223673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-51496012869936228352010-03-29T10:50:34.575-05:002010-03-29T10:50:34.575-05:00The first picture reminds me of the farmer dancing...The first picture reminds me of the farmer dancing a jig for his pig in Babe.

The Bible ...Thank you for the story of the healer! The Bible is one of those wonderful texts that many of us hear so much that it loses meaning, so I always love it when people re-contextualize the story. <i>They took the roof off the building!</i> One of those details that we nod and say "Uh-huh" when we hear it, but take a step back and look at it and it's amazing and fresh. How desperate they must have been!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923745480765984429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-41096139190035671012010-03-28T13:03:42.556-05:002010-03-28T13:03:42.556-05:00Fantastic and lovely post.

It's a matter of placing the absolute highest value on life.Marzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258262409718943594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-14372781439148224792010-03-28T10:58:52.954-05:002010-03-28T10:58:52.954-05:00As much as I'm annoyed by my own problems with...As much as I'm annoyed by my own problems with health insurance premiums going through the roof and wondering each month if I can afford it, I was reminded yesterday at a Coffee Party meeting that some people have it far worse. A friend of an attendee was either going to have to liquidate all her assets and possibly divorce her husband to qualify for aid. How can we as a country, that claims so much to be Christian, do this people?<br /><br />On an another note, Google can translate webpages pretty accurately: http://www.translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=da&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kunstonline.dk%2Fprofil%2Fsys_hindsbo.php4<br /><br />Of course, you use more creativity imagining what's going on.Daniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064427172219901800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-826151682223955762010-03-28T10:50:55.885-05:002010-03-28T10:50:55.885-05:00Dearest Fresca, these are wonderful words to read ...Dearest Fresca, these are wonderful words to read this morning. A gift!<br /><br />I have thought about you and your emergency surgery as we care for my mother who is so fortunate that she is not alone and will not have to sell her home or cash out her savings or rely on the kindness of strangers. But I'm so keenly aware of how easily things could have been very different, and I know a person whose friends threw a fundraiser so he could pay for his cancer treatments and others who spent decades chained to crappy jobs because emergency health care made it impossible for them to qualify for student loans...<br /><br />Do you know, I do dance for my cat, mostly in the kitchen while I make my coffee.momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149328149132703479noreply@blogger.com
