By it, I mean the changes and frustrations of the new healthcare bill. My employer actually is its own insurer, and recently wanted to create a new preventive wellness program for us employees. Basically, we were going to get $400 a year to use on various preventive procedures (one of them being adult vaccinations). However, for some reasons pertaining to the new healthcare law, they couldn't start this program. I think it had something to with the fact that there was a cap or something. I'm not actually sure. Anyway, I'm going out of the country in a little over a month, and I was going to get some recommended vaccinations, but I found out today from my doctor that two would cost $300 and I still need anti-malaria pills on top of that (and insurance won't cover those either). Maybe it is just me, but that seems a little steep seeing as how I still have to pay my copay to see my doc. I could go to the health center, but let's just say that I might get what I'm trying to prevent just by going there. It terrifies me more! Anyway, in a world with a broken economy and healthcare costs rising, doesn't it seem strange that instead of helping me pay to prevent Hep A or B or malaria, they would rather risk me get it and then have to pay to treat me later (which will cost much more!) I know it is all a risk game, but today it frustrates me.
Okay, I don’t really know that too many people read this blog since I moved to a new address, but I’m begging if you do, please help me. I am at a loss on what to do with part of my kitchen. Here is how I painted my kitchen 3 years ago: It was fun, bright, and I like it, but we decided it needed to be a bit more grown-up these days. I knew we would have to paint it before we moved so we decided to just go ahead and do it now for a change. We decided to go with a gray so that it would be neutral but not boring. However, the gray had a strong blue tone to it on the walls and now I need to phase out my turquoise decor I think. Here are some afters (still putting it back together): Some of these are the same shots but with/without flash to show the colors. I think I really like the new color, but the turquoise trim does not go anymore in my opinion. I’m trying to figure out what to do with it, and I need help!!! Please, give me ideas!!! I’m seri
