The repo man showed up tonite to take my truck.

i'll be honest right here and now, I had to drink some to post this thread. My SO says I carry my pride around like a chip on my shoulder.

Some of you may have read my diary of a few days ago "I nearly lost my husband last week". I would link to it if I knew how, but I don't. This is my follow-up.

The doctor called a family meeting this morning so we could all discuss how to continue my husband's care, or not, as it turns out.

This is not going to be a political diary. I have just had such a stressful week, I just wanted to share (unload?).

I won't pretend that I'm a really popular poster around here, but I have mentioned my husband's vasculitis before when discussing health care. Vasculitis is pretty rare, most doctors will go through their entire careers without ever treating a case of it. It is an immunological disease in which your immune system turns on you and attacks major organs.

He first got the disease maybe 10 years ago. A very talented doctor spotted protein in his urine, and followed up on it, suspecting vasculitis. It was attacking his kidneys at the time, and with excellent medical care and treatment with immunosuppressants, the disease went into remission after a couple of years.

Last fall, it came back.

Dear "Democratic" Senator or Representative,
Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a votor. You may not recognize me as such now that you've been hobnobbing with lobbyists and big money men. Me, I'm just a little person. Oh, I don't mean little as in skinny or short, I mean I'm just your average Jane on the street. I'm a life long Democrat, and have always worked hard for Democratic causes and candidates.

Be prepared for a rant. Or don't.
I've had enough, dammit. My husband insists on watching so-called 'news" channels all the time. And I mean ALL the time. He won't even shut off a Bush speech!!!! I leave the room, dammit, I can still hear the bastard. I stick my fingers in my ears and sing....Lalalalalala.

You wake up in the morning. You yawn, you stretch, you grab a cup of coffee.

Outside, sitting at the curb, is a long luxurious stretch limo. It waits patiently while you complete your morning routine. As you leave the house, the tinted glass slides silently downward and a silk-gloved hand emerges. As you walk toward the limo, you remove your wallet from your pocket, take out a 20 dollar bill, and place it in the gloved hand. The tinted glass glides upward as the limo rolls away. This scene is repeated daily, including weekends.

Why are you giving money to an obviously rich person every day?

Grand Rapids, Minnesota is known as the home town of Judy Garland. The city seems quite proud of this and it is reflected in the many "Wizard of Oz" themed businesses.

I've always liked Grand Rapids. It's an hour's drive from where I live, so I don't go there very often. It's a great place to spend the day bumming around, going to interesting shops and eateries.

But yesterday....
