SORRY FOR THE ENFORCED ABSENSE!
No I did not rejoin my ship, or squadron for the coming festivities with Kim Jon UN and the merry band of clown suited morons from North Korea, no nothing as simple as that I fear.
On Monday afternoon I was hauled of by Ambulance to BJC with a fever of 104 degrees F.
It seems I had Pneumonia, and really didn't feel all that sick until the flood gates
opened and convulsions set in.
Now as you may know we have lived here for 44 years, and in all that time we have needed the Fire Department three times for minor issues, so this was a first hand look at a full blown "rescue."
Response time was excellent, the level of patient care far exceed BJC by both the Paramedics, and Abbot, and I even got a Police officer to stand by to assist if needed.
Were lucky to live and work in a place like Crestwood where you can rest assured that the skills of the response team are exemplary.
My thanks and my appreciation go to the men and women who really do keep us safe here in Crestwood who work long hours under All conditions so we can enjoy the life style we choose with out fear.
How am I doing? Well I came home yesterday, and much to the consternation of my legion of enemies, it looks as though I will make it.

We thank the good Lord for seeing fit to sending you back to your loving family and friends. We were concerned because we didn't know all the facts not that we could have helped with pneumonia, but again we're very happy and relieved that our good friend is okay.
Thank God the Affordable Care Act is not fully in effect!!
so you're saying if it was he'd have been left in his bed to die?
I am more interested, with all due respect to an alderman, why you chose the health crisis of a friend of yours to drop in a cheap political dig. Seems inappropriate and poorly timed.

God bless Tom! I'm glad you are on the road to recovery!

Dear Jean,
I said what I did because I believe once the Affordable Health Care Act is in place, Tom would not have gotten the same care (that may have have saved his life), as he got today.
That's my way of saying to Tom, Buddy, I am so glad you are on the road to recovery. I'm am so glad that you were able to get the needed health care the way you did today. The health care that saved your life, the health care that no one is sure you would have gotten under the Affordable Health Care Act.(you have to read it to know whats in it)
I'm sorry if you feel my expressing happiness for Tom's recovery is cheap, inappropriate and poorly timed. I'm sure Tom knew what I was talking about and felt it was none of what you believe it was.
glad to know that, thanks. I am not "tuned in" to tossing political jabs into everything...since I would simply have congratulated him on his recovery, I didn't realize that's what you were doing. My apologies.

The state health exchanges that are central to the U.S. Affordable Care Act are costing the federal government more than twice its initial budget to complete.
The Obama administration expects to have spent $4.4 billion in fiscal 2012 and 2013 on grants to states that are building new marketplaces to sell subsidized health insurance, according to budget proposals released today for 2014. A year ago, the administration had anticipated spending about $2 billion.
Including grants the administration expects to make in 2014, costs for the state-run exchanges will reach about $5.7 billion. The budget overrun doesn’t include the extra money needed to set up a “Federally Facilitated Exchange” in 34 states that chose not to cooperate with President Barack Obama’s initiative.
“It’s a lot more complicated than anybody imagined,” Joseph Antos, a health economist at the nonprofit American Enterprise Institute who advises the Congressional Budget Office, said in a telephone interview. “To be fair to CBO, this is one of the many areas where they didn’t know how big the bread box was, much less what was in it.”
to the 7:21am poster, may I assume you are offering up a viable alternative?
4:05 PM Blogger: Well if they won't. I will.
REPEAL or DEFUND obama care before Jan. 2014! If this is not done you will be shocked at just how UNaffordable this idiot idea really is, because the people still working will pay for it, and there are darn few of them left!
My wife and I will be able to laugh in the face of all you who "believed" in obama, and his willing socialist friends as were retired, the rest of the "taxpayers"f course be at least 15-20% lighter on their checks!
Good luck liberals, you lie down with dog's, you get up with fleas!

I meant a viable alternative for health care. Repealing it is one thing, but what goes in its place?

BLAME CONSERVATIVES!
Members of the Syrian opposition movement have hired a top Occupy Wall Street activist as their U.S. lobbyist, according to registration forms filed with the U.S. Senate on Monday. Carne Ross is best known as one of the driving forces behind the Occupy Wall Street Working Group on Alternative Banking, a coalition that created a model for nonprofit banking.
According to the lobbying forms, Ross’s advisory firm, Independent Diplomat, Inc., will “meet with key officials and desk officers in the State Department and other U.S. agencies to gather their views [on the Syrian civil war] … and advise the Syrian Coalition how best to tailor their own approach to the U.S. Government.”
The National Coalition of Syrian Revolution and Opposition Forces, as the opposition is formally known, is engaged in a pitched battle to overthrow the autocratic regime of Bashar Al-Assad. Since 2011, the armed conflict has resulted in an estimated death toll of more than 70,000.
7:31 AM Blogger: Sure, blame conservatives. Do we almost blame them for the Clinton give away to N. Korea of out missile technology including the "Merv" ??
Tom Ford

Jean
