What exactly is Obamacare and what does it change? →
wasbella102:
big thanks to reddit user CaspianX2 for typing all this out!
What people call “Obamacare” is actually the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. However, people were calling it “Obamacare” before everyone even hammered out what it would be. It’s a term mostly used by people who don’t like the PPaACA, and it’s become popularized in part because PPaACA is a really long and...
Ahhh, parenthood...
Working from home today. My son is reciting the following bit of wisdom…
“Gun shooters don’t have their wee wee’s hanging out.”
It’s hard to argue with that.
The next step in Healthcare Reform....
Correction. No state can opt out of the exchanges.
FYI from the NYTimes:
A number of largely Republican-led states that gambled on delay now face the unsettling prospect that the federal government could take over their responsibilities, particularly in setting up the health insurance marketplaces known as exchanges, where people will be able to choose among policies for their coverage.
Under...

curioussincidents:
So, the issue with this whole medical care thing seems to be that people feel they are being forced by the govt. to buy something, right? And if not they’ll be fined.
Is that not exactly the way driving insurance works? If you have a crash and you are found to be…
Actually, it is NOT the way car insurance works. I can avoid car insurance by not...

Valerie left this in our inbox yesterday, before we knew what today’s decision would be:
In January of 2010, I had landed a job as an assistant teacher for a preschool daycare program at my mom’s church. It wasn’t full-time, but it was sufficient, and I knew I’d enjoy playing with the kids,…
SCOTUS upholds Healthcare Reform, mostly...
Just read the syllabus of the Supreme Court’s decision on Healthcare Reform and the Individual Mandate. Some initial reactions, keeping in mind that I have yet to read the decision…
1. The syllabus says that the mandate was NOT upheld on commerce clause grounds, but rather on grounds of Congress’ power to tax. Specifically, the Court seems to have gone so far as to say a mandate...
The American Dream is dead.
shitmystudentswrite:
The American Dream, just like George Washington, is dead. Unlike George Washington, however, no one ever bothered to bury the American Dream. Instead of giving the dream a proper burial, we’ve stood the old lady up like a scarecrow, perverted her with makeup and a boob job, and then sat her out by the statue of liberty to mock incoming immigrants.
This kid is a budding...

wilwheaton:
The White House received a truly remarkable amount of warnings that al-Qaida was trying to attack the United States. From June to September 2001, a full seven CIA Senior Intelligence Briefs detailed that attacks were imminent, an incredible amount of information from one intelligence agency. One from June called “Bin-Ladin and Associates Making Near-Term Threats” writes that...

I spoke with the attorney regarding the old debt that the company is trying to illegally collect.
His advice was to ignore them and keep note of anything they send me or any calls. If it becomes more frequent, to send a Cease and Desist letter, cc’ing him and my state and their states Attorney…

Make me feel bad for this fucker because I’m about to go over there and gut it like a fish…
I know that if I talk in a bar with loud music for 25 minutes, I lose my voice. How is this dog still able to bark after doing it for hours upon hours at a time??
The dog is incredibly lonely and bored, or it is anxious because it has been...
Nashville Foodie Alert....

Favorite quote:
“Like Atlanta and Charleston, S.C., before it, Nashville is enjoying the attention of a nation that sure likes the South these days. But even if you set all the Southern infatuation aside, Nashville is one of several midsize cities whose food...
Truthful Tuesday....
1. If I don’t bike ride in the morning I feel like crap all day. It doesn’t have to be far, just something to get the blood going. I did not have time to bike ride this morning.
2. I once worked in the PR office of the legislature of a particular state (to be unnamed.) I saw more drug abuse, particularly cocaine and alcohol, in that environment than in any other I’ve ever been...
Vacation.....
I’m trying to figure out where to take my vacation this summer in August. My son wants to go to the desert, which means New Mexico (Chaco Canyon and Santa Fe) and Arizona. I love New Mexico and I adore Santa Fe, but the American Southwest in August! Ironically, my Tai Chi instructor is going to New Mexico for two weeks in August to attend a retreat at the Benedictine Monastery out in the...
Saw on the way into work today...
I saw a black bear on the way into work this morning. I was riding my motorcycle, heading up through the Skyline Drive in the Berkshires early this morning. It was grey and overcast and foggy and I had just narrowly missed running over two rabbits in the middle of the road when I saw ahead by the side of the road what looked at first like a black bag full of garbage. As I got closer it moved,...

It's All In Your Head: Belly breathing →
mentalillnessmouse:
Belly breathing, also called diaphragmatic breathing, is a simple deep breathing technique that teaches you how to use your diaphragm, a sheet of muscle at the bottom of our lungs and the most important muscle for breathing. It is often used as a complementary therapy for anxiety disorders and may also help to boost energy and stamina.
Here are the step-by-step...
