Maggie...I don't have insurance at all...
When I get sick, I go to the doctor and pay the bill myself. I spend about the same as I would for insurance premiums.

Passion, the cost of that medication is priceless to me. I want it no matter what it costs - I just can't pay for it and I'm hoping Medicare will. We would like to have that money we're putting out every month for Blue Cross, but we'll keep the insurance if we have to. It means that much to me.
Are you saying you only have insurance when you're working? That doesn't seem right.

Thanks for the uplifting words, Mysticgamer...
I do feel as if there's too much going on in my life right now. I'm not saying someone won't someday get in....but it's a pretty slim chance.

Hey P FLower
take a deep breath, you got too much "stuff" happening on too many levels. Its all energy so yes I think the moon etc has alot of effect on earth and its inhabitants. There really is much more to astrology than people like to think. It isn't just hokey play, but thats a subject of its own. The gifts? accept them, and the giver will teach you about their uses, when and where. the boyfriend? ah, I don't know...but one of these days, someone will get "in"

Blanche, thanks for letting me know about the book.
I need to read something like that. Maybe being able to see dead people goes along with the mind-reading thingy. I wish I knew a whole lot more about this subject. I'd like to read about the experiences others have had and how they dealt with these issues.

I hope you do, with the right person, at the right time, Passionflower,
It's hard when your heart's been through the wringer to open up, but it's worth it.

Passionflower,
We were just talking yesterday about how hard it is to filter others' emotions, and I think you may have it harder than I do, because I don't read thoughts, Thank God. I don't really want to know what the person on the couch across from me at the coffee shop is thinking. It's enough, that I get a sharp, cold feeling in my heart that tells me he or she is anxious about something, probably to do with work or a deadline they're frantically working on on their laptop.
I've read that psychics learn to keep walls up. I have Allison DuBois's book, which I don't really like, I think she may be a real psychic, but kind of fake as a person, but she did write about having to keep a defensive wall up so that she didn't see dead people all the time.
I know what you mean about guarding your heart. I feel like I've been so beat up emotionally by past relationships, that when MG and I first got together, I wouldn't use the "L" word, I just said I had "deep meaningful feelings, blah blah", when he cut me off and told me he loved me, too. He knew before I did, and he was willing to take that risk first.

Maggie...I've never heard of these IV treatments...
$4000 for each treatment???????? Yikes! That's horrible! Why do they have to overcharge on things like this????????? There's no way it should be that expensive!
I haven't had a check up in over a year. I'm way overdue for a paps smear. I've been worried about it lately. But I just don't have the money. My annual physical and paps smear usually runs around $300.
The breast x-ray is around $100 bucks. It will just have to wait till we get a hurricane or an earthquake....LOL!

Warrior....you were lucky to find someone you could trust that way.
It's pretty tough these days to find that in another person. I hope you guys will always be happy...Shit happens though and life can turn sour.

That's true. I'm very careful. I joke about being a hermit
but I suppose the in reality, it's not far from the truth. For me though, my wife has made all the difference in my life. Without her, I would be a complete nutcase. And I wouldn't have my son who is such a joy for us both.

Maybe he means more to you than you think and that's making you uneasy. It could be something physical, Passion. Have you had a good checkup lately?
My visiting nurse just left - he gave me my bi-weekly IVIG. This is a forever thing and it depresses me. I hate having to have it, but it's a lifesaver. I was so miserable before I found this doctor and he started these IVs. I'm really worried about going on Medicare in February and are they going to pay for these treatments? Blue Cross is paying now, but I don't know what Medicare is going to do - the IV treatments are $4000. each. I sure can't pay for them and God surely wouldn't let me go without them, would he? I think I'd have to put a gun to me head. It's hell to get old, but when I consider the alternative, it ain't so bad! haha
Hey, Passion, I'm not on your list, am I?

Warrior...I know you may not recall this...
B ut when I first began here, I wrote alot about it. I had some really bad experiences 5 1/2 years ago that involved my ex-husband and some family members....kind of a tragedy sort of thing.
In trying to learn to deal with the pain and sorrow and regret of what happened I developed a drug and alchohol problem. Also, a sexual addiction. I was suicidal.
Now that I'm better, it's a way of not ever allowing myself to fall back into the deep, dark hole again. You must protect your heart. People will trample it without much thought these days.
