Cutting Costs

Well with all the talk of health insurance going on we often miss many other items that have been reformed. As one example, a person can only get health insurance in their own state. When real competation came to car and life insurance quotes we had costs being cut.

All of sudden instead of 10 companies competing for your dollar, you now have 1000's of companies. There are currently 17,000 in the US offering health insurance. Now imgaine having another 16000 companies competing for your dollars. The answer is reduced costs and higher and better services


I hope that you have a great day.

Future plans.

This winter I am going to start to design and make a pond for the front yard. This is something that I have always wanted to do. I want to make a small waterfall and have it run a little stream finally ending in a koi pond.

I have started pricing the pond supplies and the rocks that I am going to need. What a project that I have in mind. The hard part will be to build the waterfall, that is on flat land.

Of course all the fish will be named after various kinds of sushi.

Have a most happy day.

Add into the house

Everytime I go somewhere and the establishment brings out the central vacuum cleaner, I am always jealous. One of my relatives had one built into the new house.

I alwats wonder if I could add one onto my house. I mean my house is nearly 100 years old. I would love one in my house. Of course the best part would be the ability to end into the place.

In any case I would love one in my house.

Prepping

One thing I do when I am studying for some of my big tests that I have had to take several times. I am thinking about working on doing an LSAT prep time and work on getting yet another degree. Of course at my age it may be a bad idea.

I am thinking that I may not be able to pay back in the time left. Well I need to make some good choices. But this is why i am looking at the LSAT prep and trying my hand there.

Have a great day.

Fast Food Warning Labels

Now I have to wonder . . . are a bunch of New Yorkers all of sudden using weight loss pills or is there something else going on?

A recent study has found that despite all the labels, that are now required by the City of New York City, on fast food showing all the calories and everything else on the label.

Now the problem is that more people are actually eating more and more fast food and greater calories.

Why does this happen. I am wondering why.

I hope that you have a most happy day.

A General and His Chicken

Okay so I went to a China Buffet today in town and tossed my glucomannan away. I started thinking . . .

Who is General Tso and why does he have a chicken named after him.

First, I thought it would be deviation of names. Then maybe the guy who wrote Art of War.

So I decided to do some work and find out.

I cannot believe this. General Tso was not a real general and it is not even a a traditional Chinese dish. General Tso chicken was developed in New York City! New York City! (flash back to old el paso picante sauce commercial.

The worst part it is so ancient I was in Jr High School at the time it was developed!
