I don't recall that anyone who has mentioned being part Indian having made any kind of a deal about it, it's been said in passing. And why does it bother you that it's being mentioned? Boy, you sure making a big deal out of being part Indian!!

I completely agree, but I don't see congress ever passing anything to lessen their pay or to suspend it during times like this.

Yep, more like them will just get voted in.

SOOOO, these people somehow knew there were no limits on their benefits and came get what they could, while they could, as much as they could??? Isn't that like stealing? But I don't take issue with Walmart because these cards hadn't been working for days and they couldn't tell the thieves from the hungry. But the thieves knew who they were and they took advantage.

I just wonder how many of these people will be re-elected. Seriously, with all the bad behavior from both sides, do they really expect to keep their jobs after the next election? If so, then they are waaaaaay dumber than I already think they are.

That's the truth for sure and that is what we've taught our kids also. I have a family member who had acted B-A-D one too many times and my daughter was reading them the riot act and this person had the nerve to stomp their foot and say, 'Don't speak to me that way, I deserve respect, I demand it, you owe me your respect'. OOOOOOOOHHH have mercy, it went down hill even faster after that.

How do you decide who to believe when it comes to beneficial supplements? It seems that if you are selling supplements, they're all going to be necessary to everyone. Then my dr told me that most people don't need any supplements if they eat a moderately balanced diet. Are 'independent studies' really independent or are they driven by the supplement makers? I've been told all kinds of cock and bull stories as to what humans need and what they don't need, mostly by people trying to sell me something. It's a very confusing issue to try to figure out.

Cinnamon is made from tree bark, so in actuality, I guess it is sawdust.

BAWHAWHAWHAWHAW!!! :lol: That's funny!! Oh yea, I'm Cherokee from both side of my family..........who knew!?!? Maybe we really are related!!

I totally agree. What would be better, is if they ALL stopped taking their paycheck to show solidarity for the people they've help put out of work, that would be the upstanding thing to do. But alas, they are congressmen and I don't think the word upstanding can be used for too many of them, what was I thinking?

People like you do my heart good because I've been in this girls situation and people, men, have blown their horn, cussed at me and driven angrily on past. Hubby always stops and helps. Thank you for being a good guy!!!!

I agree with that 100%, but patients also need to realize that patience runs out when you treat the people who are helping you like dirt. It's ridiculous to expect the office to know you personally and what you're specifics are regarding ins, etc., especially if they are new as are your benefits. They have responsibility too and it makes me wonder where else in their lives they shirk it too.

I'm sorry.................w-h-a-t?????? :lol: :lol: :lol:

And it's a GIRL thug! Why am I surprised???????????

According to most of the information I've read, it has nothing to do with the govt shutdown. http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20131012/US--Food.Stamps-Outage/

Why are people so ignorant about their own benefits? Hubby had to have PT on his should for 2 months this year and the first thing I did was call and find out what we were responsible for even though I already knew. We have a $250.00 deductible and it's covered at 90% after that. I gave the dr's office all the info I had and when she called the ins company to verify, she called me back to say that our deductible was $2500.00, not $250.00, boy was she wrong. I called the ins company immediately and while I was on the line they called the dr's office and cleared up the office's mistake. She

Unless this petition changes the Constitution, it's a waste of time. At least according to the 27th Amendment. While I think it's abhorrent that they are taking home their comfortable salaries, they can't choose not to pay themselves. They can give it away at will, but by the Constitution, they must get paid. Pretty slick, huh? The Twenty-seventh Amendment (Amendment XXVII) prohibits any law that increases or decreases the salary of members of the Congress from taking effect until the start of the next set of terms of office for Representatives. It is the most recent amendment to the

WTH is the world coming to???? This is horrible.

:lol: :lol:

I think that's my issue. I know that most do their jobs and I truly appreciate what they do. It's just upsetting when they seem to blow you off.

That may be, but when your drunk neighbor is acting a fool and ultimately exposes himself to your kids and grandkids in broad daylight while he pees less than a foot away from a 10 year old special needs little girl and the officers never take out a notebook to write down anything and then have the nerve to lump ME into the criminal class by telling me that they could just as easily arrest me for yelling at the neighbor.WTH?? And then to go on and attempt to convince me that every call is cold and they have no idea who they are dealing with, that everyone is on a level playing field when they

But if an officer won't even take a report because they 'didn't see it happen' and leaves you standing in your driveway as they drive off, how do they gather evidence, get eyewitnesses or fingerprints?

Exactly.

That is blatantly stupid. While I know criminals are stupid losers, even they are smart enough not to commit a crime in front of a police officer. So, by that logic, the prisons are filled with people who are convicted because a policeman saw them do the crime they're in for? YEA, I'm sure that's the case. The police weren't present when Ted Bundy killed any of the women he was convicted of murdering, yet he was put in prison. Why?

Of course it was just a prank. This is too sad.
