Flynn's Paws: My Thoughts, My Gripes

  • Thoughts on health care…

    20130329-1247PM. Japanese ministry control prices such as $112, for an MRI in the neck. $5.20 in US, $.80 in Japan, $2 in Canada for a pill. Pet CNN LIVE.

    1238. Since I have online tools to self-diagnose my health symptoms, I can visit my personal doctor as needed and pay cash. But I would like an AFFORDABLE, mandated “catastrophic” health insurance. Let the market set prices for doctor visits/services.

    1234. “Mittens” can run for POTUS but he cannot hide from his health care mandate.

    1229. Actuality, doctor visits should depend on the doctor, especially for patients who pay in cash for same day services rendered.

    1219. Yesterday, we were talking to George and he understands that claiming insurance (earthquake, flood, fire, etc.) doesn’t always pay 100% coverage. Therefore, a nice “catastrophic” insurance might seem viable.

    1201. I am still listening to the ” Constitutionality of Health Care Law” on C-SPAN. All I have to add is that I want my lemonade, not cool/government aid! But I drink both on hot summer days.

    1115. What should be regulated are the common health services, such as blood pressure checks, doctors visits, generic drugs, etc. Also, regulate how hospitals (especially through Medicare and pals), health facilities in religious and public settings are overcharging the government system.

    1046. Since I refuse to purchase health insurance, I use my checkbook to pay for each doctor visit and other health services. Even if I failed to be a millionaire in my own RIGHT, and per a black guy calling C-SPAN prior to the argument broadcast this morning an hour ago or so, the money/cash/out-of-pocket will go away/drain out eventually without some sort of supplement.

    1025. If America can help give money to other/international nations, then America can help its hard-working/tax-paying citizens/subjects with AFFORDABLE health care, so they could all that much HARDER for the STATE.

    1022. Why should we “click “Watch Now” at C-SPAN.ORG – lob on you opinions and tweets” when we could be blind or deaf? Why aren’t ther cameras allowed during the Supreme Court Oral Argument and hear/see everything in its entirety? Some details could be left out/censored as a means to CONTROL information.

    1001. Health care should be open for every one too buy not to mandate, like when to get blood pressure checked.

    0932. A question to a representative comparing automotive instant and health insurance. State power different from Congress power. You don’t have to buy it and may choose not to buy car and by virtue of bring born should not force free wo/men/children to but health insurance. Imposing Congress power differs where state have general police power of enforcing laws.

    0924. Instead of mandated law, provide AFFORDABLE healthcare per Donald Verrilli and Maw, to those who are laid off from work. Personally, paying $500 per month for COBRA was TOO expensive.

    0922. We got a call from CVS. We called and spoke with the pharmacist, who put us on hold and then a second pharmacist took our call. She said that was a “reminder call” for pick-up of a prescription drug that we and THEY have no clue about! We wonder if CVS will charge the insurance without our knowledge or authorization.

    0921. If paying monthly for health coverage and all of the sudden you fire, what happens to the money after you die? Perhaps the money could go to funeral/burial/cremation, instead of recycling back into three system. Look what happened to the Social Security funds, which was borrowed and fine.

    I think a “brotox” is worse than a “bromance”!

    2254. I was at my computer workstation late at night and I was sitting crooked. Suddenly, I felt head pressure and a ringing noise in both ears. The left “signal” was louder than the constant right ear noise. I recorded a SoundCloud file for the two “tones” using my humming voice.

    2000. Maw told me that if I should talk with the Squirrel, he should know that Maw does NOT want to see him anymore. She will speak with him on the phone but NOT in person. He forgot his responsibility towards his family. The old white lady Irene told of how a son called his mother everyday to check up on her. The Squirrel is the one who put negativity into his head and mistreats his OLD family. That is why his twit wifey does NOT care about the Squirrel’s family. He is overprotecting something that is NOT there. How could you be happy to have a son to give headaches like that? He does NOT care to call daily to say “Hello” and that is NOT acceptable. I already erased him from my life. What is the point of making children if they turn out like that?

    1056. Maw was watching FoxNew about: “new blood test may predict heart attack before it happens”. She was being VERY snappy, my daily bread, when I told her that it was an old article from Yahoo! news a few days ago.

    0920. The psycho leaves the house at the same time we at returned home. That’s how loud we can be — enough so that the divorced nutter and her one-eyed monster/illegal alien time their activities around ours.

    1407. Is free speech dying in America? Yup. But the increase of offensive, coarse language is on the rise and there is nothing that could be done to stop these “entities”. Ba ha ha!

    1404. The recent death of the Florida teenager was unfortunate but you all are bring played racially by social engineers to find out if you all will kill each other some more. Ba ha ha!

    13:38. Maw mentioned what the old white woman, Irene, told to her. Irene has a $300,000 hospital bill, which she appealed to pay at $25 per month. Her Japanese husband got sick and hospitalized. He didn’t have health care insurance and did NOT qualify for any assistance through VMC. She has a health insurance worth $800 per month.

    1230. We arrived home from the H&R Block inside Sears. Sitting on the slanted cement slab holding the Montgomery chain link fence was a skinny “Hispanic-looking” guy, who was talking on a cellphone. He had a canvas bag slung over his shoulder for delivering stuff door-to-door.

    1050. While walking slowly on the lower levels where the optical shop is located in Sears (Eastridge), and intercom announcement started at 1048: “Marianne, please call 144. Marianne, please call 144.” Notice the double-digit number, a familiar Biblical reference.

    Here are my boring notes:

    (more…)

  • “as they go by…”

    “Day Two of the latest fast (as they go by)”

    “Why not rid your body of toxins while your are fasting for self-sacrifice?”

    Um, gee! That’s difficult! You see, food is good to eat! I love eating, especially when food is provided by two elderly folks and prepared at home by Maw and moi.

    —

    “-unavailability of food supplies. This is self-sacrifice, denying food for one’s self so that others may eat.”

    Yes! Yes! I know! If only I could find/get/keep a stinking job that pays well enough to feed others. But since Silicon Valley is also bought and paid by TPTB and pals, I’m stuck.

  • “an angelic voice…”

    “The Fast: Day 3”

    Seem to be sleeping in a great deal with many naps necessary…

    —

    Well, it could be a high blood glucose level from eating no solid food//drinking mostly fruit juices, which is why I stay away from consuming fruits — it hits my system fast and hard and I go into a nice two-hour nap after the sugar high burns off…

    Maybe one day, I’ll be able to hear those beautiful songs but perhaps only in my dreams…

  • “And how has that worked out for you?”

    “Fasting: Day 4“

    Fasting is NOT an option for me right now! I mean, why stop there? Mom is the cook and a good one! Right now, I smell the deep-fried, small fish coming up through the second story window. It’s salty but rich in “iodine” (from the sea, of course).

    Since I live with two elderly parents who believes in/have been eating three meals a day, all I could do I join them and eat moderately: cut the carbohydrates and proteins; drink lots of water, some juice and take my daily niacin for high cholesterol (which I know will have to be controlled with a “statin” drug) and low dose aspirin (81mg) (for my thick blood).

    Anyway, life is/has always been good to us but my personal guilt is high, which is why I keep helping “my family”, even though I do NOT know them all that well and shouldn’t because I’ve got NOT job or income to help myself in the next month for a main-stream, medical check-up. After all, I have the “to take care of myself before I can help others” mantra bugging me.

    Here are my boring notes via the “Memo” app of my smart/cellphone:

    2012/03/11 17:57. Saw black crow flying from east to west. Still cloudy.

    2012/03/11 16:55. Saw same whopping, white crane flying from east to west. I will post a photo showing how heavy equipment and steel girder material dumped on its nest, driving off a gray-fluff baby white crand (obviously an auspicious good luck sign in Chinese, now desecrated for two years). Located due north west off Atmel Way in San Jose, California, USA.

    2012/03/11 16:20. Saw same black bird flitting among the dried branches to the flowering plum tree in our back yard.

    2012/03/11 16:18. Last Friday while letting Paw read/sign for a tree removal/replacement permit, Maw saw my big belly sticking out and thought I should get it check for possible rotten uterus or cyst or something else. Weird. It’s subcutaneous fat, really!

    2012/03/11 Because we came in a little bit late, this Tuesday, three fat Bible-thumpers were seated behind us at the sixth pew. They were thick “white” women. They wouldn’t stop talking initially. The shortest of the group who seemed “Hispanic” with her strange, ruddy tanned skin wouldn’t greet me so I mentally flicked her off, too. The other two were nicer and greeted me. They wouldn’t stop coughing initially.

    2012/03/11 14:06. Maw used her spray/inhaler because bad/gloomy weather today activated her asthma.

    2012/03/11 13:50. Recalled an old thought about living in an apartment of Seven Trees (San Jose, CA) back in 1976. The carpet smelled of urine and had to be replaced. Goes to show how dirty apartment managers/owners can be. I wonder if the place is still messed up with messed up people who don’t know how to take care of their pets and places before moving out.

    2012/03/11 13:46. Yesterday, while walking back from a bathroom near Neighborhood 3, I noticed a tall white guy stopped abruptly in front of us and stomped his right foot on shoe shine display of white. (Two other skinny workers of minority descent were waiting for customers). His strangely dark-browned Chinese twit of a woman with long stared at this creep’s right foot as the skinny white boy was presenting the product on the cad’s white sneakers. These types of tall white guys are actually prejudice. Do NOT doubt me.

    Regarding feet, many time I use the imagery of using my slipper/shoe by the removal and the whacking over the heads/side of the faces of these heartless dummies. Business may be business but I do NOT like jerks treating workers unfairly. Friggin’ scoundrels!

    2012/03/11 13:15. Yesterday, I noticed a paper faced down on our lawn. Then this morning it was underneath the right front wheel to my car, which was parked on the right-hand side of the driveway. Paw picked it up and I saw it was an invoice for a total amount of $1,800, which was encircled instead of filling in the “estimate/bid” of $1,600 deal for the senior citizen/veterans discount as discussed Friday in front of Bill, the Chinese guy. Around noontime last Friday, I picked up/sensed that the Hispanic wanted to charge us $2,000 for the removal of one eucalyptus tree, grinding of the root, disposal/grinding/hauling of the work and buying/replacement of two trees with “Swamp Myrtle”. He quoted $1,900. The place is off Vesuvius Lane. We’ll give our business to the City of San Jose. It’s too bad businesses/bosses would treat potential customers this way. I wouldn’t recommend them. I would rather pay cash to the workers than through him. I expect Barry and pals to enforce and regulate these types of businesses further.

    2012/03/11 12:09. We noticed that “Binh” seemed more aloof and quiet around us. After getting our “Host” and walking past him, he stood stony-faced at the front-most pew of the front right section of the church. As a matter of fact we are trying to avoid the creepy reptilian. (He used to be “nicer” but not anymore). “Minh” is much friendlier than her controlling husband, whom she admitted to Maw is out of control. Yesterday in the vestibule and after the morning mass, we Filipinos gathered and talked to Caroline. Of course, he gather his senile wife and grandson and said: “[We are all going to die someday.]” Yeah, you’re next if you ever go see the doctor! Sheesh!

    2012/03/11 12:09. An old/ongoing thought regarding how churches (man-made structures) are REALLY spiritual asylums for psychos who pray to empty air; offer to troublesome djinns; and donate to scam artists — all for NOTHING. In recent news, many churches cannot keep up with mortgage payments and are foreclosed. I expect Barry and pals to do more nationwide/spring cleaning of tax-exempt/non-profit organizations (i.e. religion). God/Allah/Buddha/Krishna would be please, I’m sure. Brouhaha!

    2012/03/11 12:08. While Paw dispensed gasoline into his MB E430, the Shell and Chevron gasoline station both showed prices at 4.33, 4.43 and 4.53 with 9/10 three times or (“666”). Now you know why TPTB and their oil contracting pals continue to piss me off after twelve slong years. A few days ago, “the Donald” called them/their activities “moronic”. So expect Barry and his pals to do yet another international sweep/clean house this year because of the trespasses against me/us. The teasers are keeping the gasoline prices just short of 4.50; so as NOT to piss off the consumers of gasoline-powered vehicles and to encourage buying/using hybrid vehicles and/or take other modes of transportation.

    2012/03/11 10:01. While watching a cable news programming on television, it makes sense to shut down the only grocery store in an impoverished place in America; since the establishment with a license to sell alcohol sells to those using food stamps on non-essential foodstuff. It’s karma for those who abuse the system. I expect Barry and pals to do another nationwide/spring cleaning sweep this year for ungrateful citizens.

    2012/03/11 09:52/ What the Squirrel does his wifey, the twit, is what Paw has done to this family. By preventing the girl from interacting with her in-laws/his OLD family, he is protecting his doomed relationship from the truth: She is the wrong woman. The same went for Paw – to keep his family boxed in San Jose, CA since the day we moved here and away from hurtful/ungrateful relatives.

    2012/03/11 09:03. Recalled walking with distant/ungrateful relatives along rocky shores/cliff near Monterey Bay area. A captured fish was in a bucket of water dying. I felt sorry for it and thought to make it breath better by grabbing its tail to help water flow through its gills. A cousin scared me with his deep voice from behind me. The fish had died of course.

    2012/03/11 03:38. After buying Paw’s two “blue” jeans yesterday for two hours, I wanted to poop immediately and made several long logs downstairs in the Macy’s restrooms. Then we went to the Great Mall in Milpitas to have his pants altered for $12 per paid ($10 for blue jeans with matching threads and $2 for same day/30 minutes).

    2012/03/11 03:35. Had awoke and my mind created more scenarios. Didn’t like the playbooks created by TPTB and pals and how my “Book Of Life” was being read as if real. So I ripped off the vital pages by chomping down on the books. Then I saw the books being burned like what Hilter once did.

    2012/03/11 03:34. For the past few days, my mind has been making fun of a romantic song and hear is my version: “You’re my thinspiration! You bring “free meals” to my life. You’re my thinspiration!” This was after adding a few YouTube videos to my “Favorite” list and after reading about “Tumblr’s New Policy Against Pro-Self-Harm Blogs”. Of course, I was thinking about the skinny/bony ones all that time. Hehehe!

    2012/03/11 03:30. At around 13:06, I turned off the DVR/teleivison just when the SNL presented the musical group. Then I turned off Maw’s bedroom light and flicked on the vanity lights, when I heard fire crackers going off. I immediately pulled out my left middle finger and flicked off the offending sound through the window above the stairway in the hopes the idiots would take a hint.

    Here are my biting notes via the “Memo” app of my smart/cellphone:

    2311. At 2310, Shrimpsei’s second nano pendant landed on my right toe after it slipped from my hands when I removed it from a bookshelf of my signed books. I then threw that piece of junk against my bedroom wall (and it landed faced down until I replaced it next to my trinkets of orgone “gifts” the following morning). I saw the blue blood pooling underneath the skin and had to tape a cotton ball on top of the injury and raise my leg above the heart.

    1647. After this morning’s mass, we encountered “Minh” and “Binh”, who greeted us by saying twice: “Hi! Y’all!” I don’t know what the old fat us trying to prove but by the looks of the light blue rings around the iris of his eyes, he is clogged out of mind and mostly in the arteries. His wife fairs no better with Alzheimer’s as I await a “clock”, a precious gift I will surely cherish, of course.

    Besides the friendly freaks this morning, earlier this year, psycho Josie knocked on the glass window to the driver’s side of the car, just when we were about to back out from the local parish parking lot. She yelled: “You should have opened the door for your mother!”

    1607. Heard popping sound to my right where mirror of dresser is located while seated in front of the computer workstation upstairs, soaking in the warmth of the VERY bright sunshine.

    1604. While trying to nap unsuccessfully, I had a lucid dream of a man in a gray suit somewhere in a park of a hill.

    1551. At 1551, 1554, 1557, 1600, etc… the VERY bright sunshine would come out from behind lots of fluffy, puffy clogs of white (and hide again); while I laid on the bed and with my eyes closed.

    1410. Yesterday morning, I had the second or third dream of JoJo and his family. There were always smiling in my dreams.

    1401. We were watching a cable news programming on television about Andrew Breitbart, his life and his death. And I noticed he used a lot of bad words and colorful language that his tongue-flicking “kinds” would use, such as “[Bring on the glitter you occupy freaks! Bring on the bombs!]” I really didn’t know who the guy was.

    1347. Oliver North mentioned there would be an October surprise this year (as per a radio talk Maw had listened to earlier): – Obama would go to war (for election purposes, of course)…

    1340. Maw cooked gabi (or taro) leaves and she should have added more can of cream coconut because the veggie dish tasted too much like vinegar, which was still delicious.

    Then I recalled how we used to live/starve on packages of Lipton Cream if Mushroom, which was good soup.

    0840. Saw Mazda Protegé dashboard read 37,377 (odometer).
