Since I couldn't read everything worthwhile in the whole world if I lived a million years, I've had to try reining in that wish. Even Daily Kos, which I love, tries to lure me away with the promise of an even larger potential audience than elsewhere; but I found my online home here, and it's been largely due to the BOG and one other group. So I'm grateful for that, some days more than you'd want to know. The proof of that pudding? I'm prone to listen to the good advice here. At times it might look as if I've got a head like a rock, but I'm not totally deaf.
BTW, even though everyone did their best to keep out of political talks/arguments at St. Lukes' community Thanksgiving Dinner today, a few people in private (and later in public when the social hall was so loud that table talk was the same as) said very nice things about the President and Dems in general. I had the extreme privilege of answering a question from the very elderly couple seated next to me. They wanted to know if they had to wait on everyone else to sign up for ACA before the policy they wanted could activate. I imagine they're on some form of Medicare and/or Medicaid, but apparently they've had choices to make and were concerned about implementation.
Since this was not the time or place to dig for details, but I wanted to offer them accurate reassurance, I only said be sure you've done more than just register an account; if you've chosen a plan and signed up for it, then you don't need to worry about slowpokes holding you back. I wasn't about to get more specific for many reasons, but that seemed to be all they were concerned about.
