I don’t know what all this hype is about regarding health insurance. All I had been hearing was about how there is no way the common person can afford it. Or I heard how they would rule you out as a member after you were honest and put something dumb on your application like having allergies. Really, who doesn’t have allergies? I have a friend who was denied because he scuba dives. Well yea, he is a scuba instructor that works at a scuba shop! Of course now I was getting worried about whether or not I would be able to get health insurance! God forbid, with me being a smoker, who would insure me?

So it was with great trepidation that I set off to try to find medical insurance Florida style! All I did was get on line and punch “health insurance Miami” into my web browser where I was immediately directed to a neighboring Fort Lauderdale health insurance company. They had me fill out a few short forms which were no big deal. I was still nervous about the smoking thing, but even that turned out to be OK. I was able to get health insurance without any of the horror stories that I had been hearing.

When I got married, I thought that coming up with the wedding announcements for the various local newspapers was going to be the hardest thing. Neither my husband nor I are very good with words and we weren’t even sure what to include!  But we managed to get something down on paper and even got it into the paper in plenty of time.  I figured that the need for written word was over and I could concentrate on the fun stuff, like my dress and shoes.

Was I ever wrong!  I completely forgot about the wedding invitations.  Even though I had picked them out already, having decided to go with frangipani wedding invitations that matched out centerpieces, I still needed to either come up with the wording myself or pick from several standardize sayings. A lot of the pre-made invites were very formal and old fashion in wording, and since ours were very contemporary wedding invitations it made more sense to come up with our own wording.  Fortunately I had a friend who helped us with this as we were both at a loss as to what needed to be included.  We finally got it right and were able to get them all printed in time.  Thankfully we didn’t have to write our own wedding vows or we might never have gotten married!

We all know those people….you know….that guy. The one that talks too loud on his cell phone, or cuts in front of you in line at the grocery store; that guy that irritates us to no end. Well for some comic relief how about a top ten list to help me vent a little.

• 1.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one…..Who lacks sheer confidence to walk down the street. You see them, the frail types, always looking from one side to the other without turning their heads, walks cautiously like they’re about to be jumped, shakes like a leaf when a homeless man approaches, a car backfires and he’s down on the ground…you know the type. OMG moment—who are they afraid of?

 

• 2.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one….Who rides their bike in the street when there is a bike lane. Who do you think you are, really? I don’t see a motor on your bike and I don’t see you obey any traffic rules…so why are you in my way? Maybe it’s just me, but pedestrians need to get a license! Take a class; require 10 hours of training before sidewalk certification, that sort of thing. I understand they might be trying to save the environment but still….get out of my way!

 

• 3.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one….Who can’t seem to throw away anything in the proper receptacle and decides to use the back of his pickup instead. Except what they don’t realize is the moment you get on the freeway their garbage is now our garbage. Hmmm on second thought I think they do realize what they’re doing but they’re just too lazy. Come on, how hard could it possibly be to order fast food and then hmmm put the container in the garbage? Or here’s a concept: buy a six pack of beer and recycle the cans! Buy a fricking cargo gate like this one and you won’t have to worry about that anymore right folks?

 

• 4.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one….Who is just way too energetic, hyper and enthusiastic. What did you take today, because I surely need some! What in your life could be just so amazingly great that you have to talk three octaves too high, wave your hands when you talk (more so than the normal human being), and use WAY too many adjectives! Am I a Debbie Downer or is this something that most of you feel too? I’m an optimistic type of person and all, but geesh…..lay off the happy sauce folks!

 

• 5.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one…. Who can’t control his liquor, even in the most respectable places! He’s the one at the Christmas party who forces everyone to take jagger bomber shots, starts to talk too loud and becomes very emotional about how much he enjoys having you as his office mate. He stumbles around the party bumping into tables and spilling his drink while asking every woman if she is his wife, asking for his keys to drive home, and eventually he passes out in the men’s room by the urinals. You can’t take this guy anywhere!

 

• 6.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one….Who doesn’t stop for directions, no matter where they are going. The ones that would rather slow down traffic to look at the street signs, stop his truck in the middle of the road to look at their map, or have their turning signals on ALL the time without action left or right. I have a suggestion for these folks…it’s called being prepared before you leave the house, Yahoo Maps people, it will get you anywhere you need be!

 

 

• 7.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one….Who has “little man syndrome”, no matter what they do or where they go they always have an air of confidence that isn’t fitting of their physical stature. Their trucks are always loaded with high suspension kits and chrome truck accessories like no other! They can barely get out of their own vehicles, they feel the need to honk at EVERYONE, and when someone is going the speed limit (!) they pass them even if there isn’t a passing lane! They’ll cut you off whenever they want to and when you get mad and follow them don’t be surprised when they get out of the truck to find they are the stereotypical little man! All bark and no bite.

 

• 8.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one….Who takes up too many parking spaces with ONE vehicle. Remember buddy there are people in this world other than you. This would also include those schmucks who like to park in front of the store in the fire lane because they’ll be back soon or those people who have a handicapped sticker for no reason. Seriously, how hard is it to park correctly and walk into the store twenty yards from the front entrance? America is one of the most obese countries in the world….Don’t be that guy!

 

• 9.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one…. Who laughs at his own jokes even though they are never FUNNY. That unfunny guy just irritates you whenever he starts his knock knocking or pull my finger antics. Didn’t anyone ever tell him how lame his jokes are? One liners are so ten years ago!

 

• 10.) Don’t be that guy; you know the one….Who doesn’t realize the extent of his smell before he leaves the house. You know him, over there sitting in his own B.O., smelling like a mix between onions and dog poo. His breath smells every morning, and you and your co-workers keep track of how many stains he has on his shirt today. He wonders why no one wants to go to lunch with him anymore or come into his office to socialize. You stink to the high heavens man, take a bath!

This whole Disney Princess thing has gotten rather out of control, as you can tell around Halloween, where virtually every little girl is dressed up as a Disney princess or other character!  For example, a girl I babysit for is wearing a mermaid costume, and I’m willing to bet I’ll see plenty of Belles, Auroras, and Cinderellas that night too.

I think it’s good to encourage girls to dress up as non-stereotypical, non-girly characters for Halloween.  There are plenty of good girls’ Halloween costumes that aren’t helpless Disney princesses.  For example, how about dressing your daughter in a Wonder Woman costume?  Talk about teaching girls to be strong and self-reliant!  Jessie from Toy Story and one of the female characters from X-Men are other good choices for breaking the damsel-in-distress stereotype to pieces this Halloween.

Just because you have a little girl doesn’t mean Disney Princess is your only choice on Halloween.  There are plenty of other strong, creative costume choices available — from stores and online, as well as wherever your imagination will take you!

I am not being paranoid when I state that the air that we breathe and the water that we drink are not good. Now I am not necessarily talking about things that occur naturally on this planet like pollens in the air or even calcium hardness in the water. I am talking about pollutants. Like when my hybrid car is stuck in rush hour traffic and I am breathing all of the exhaust fumes. And think about all of the things that the water treatment plant is pumping into the water that I am supposed to drink.

I’m not a homeopathic practitioner or anything, but I know that chlorine can’t be good for you. Do you know how they make that stuff? It’s made from some kind of chemical reaction with hydrochloric acid! I don’t want that in my water. So I did something about it. I bought a water distiller for my home.

I know I can’t always control the air that I breathe, but I know I can at least do something about the quality of the air in my house. That’s why I stepped up and bought a whole house air filter system. I didn’t cost as much as I thought it would, and it hooked right into the existing central air system. So I am doing something to protect myself as far as air and water are concerned.
