with the medicaid funding issues in CA, unless the pay out to doctors increases, that's no prize. People commuting two hours to find a doctor that will accept a medicaid patient. The best way to...

I've often misidentified plants and touched or consumed something that I was sure afterward was poison oak!! (I think that's the west coast version of poison ivy) Oh no, what have I done?!? And...

Mrs M. can come back any time as far as I'm concerned. However, I think it *is* respecting people to respect their decisions to come and go as they please (why I tend not to weigh in on these things...

So because of that I should cheer the unfairness in the AMT and think it should never be fixed and that it's just great we have two taxation systems one of which is so obscure that almost noone knows...

So I've always wondered, does the device you are viewing it through make any difference, screen size, resolution, etc.?

I dried my clothes hanging inside this week rather than the dryer (no I wasn't doing that in the colder months because even in California winter - laugh all you want - the things dont' get dry, you...

Ugh, you've never been victimized by the AMT. I am very far from anything most people would consider rich, I may be far from poor too, yea well, middle class (and no not "upper middle class"). As...

in your opinion, it's the right thing to do, but that's really just your opinon. The AMT is a mess for various reasons: transparency, it is not transparent as most people don't even know about it and...

Yes I have heard about it being boring.

As for "experience only" well call me cynical but isn't that every single job on earth? Because it really seems so, at least for any type of even...

I think that it's really, I have a sweet tooth but I don't want my vegetables to be sweet (like winter squash and sweet potatoes are). Fruit should be sweet and desserts should be sweet, that is all.

Maybe they are confusing it with the biometric identification snuck into the immigration bill? I haven't read that bill either though but it does seem the source of much chatter. In the name of...

Conservatives keep asking why I don't care about Benghazi, the IRS or AP controversies. Here it is in a nutshell: For more than 4 years we have been screaming desperately about the abuses of this...

The AMT is possibly one of the worst paperwork monstrosities ever invented. A whole parallel secret shadow tax system (you thought the 1040 was *the* tax system - hahaha - guess again! There's a...

I love SUMMER squash (green and yellow, crooknet and straight), one of the things I wait for summer for, its really mild and thus lends itself to many types of preparations. Of course there's just...

Uh no. FAIL. Go back to square one. It shouldn't have been able to.

Well there are concrete cut offs for who can get help paying for medical care, definitely if you are below poverty level you will as the cut offs are much higher (up to 4 times the poverty level?). ...

I think because the effect on people whose healthcare is employer provided won't be huge (although the ever rising insurance costs are a real problem even there!!!). And the effect on Medicare...

You know what screams out at me from this, sure I could just attribute it to something trite like getting older (we all do, whatever your age), but what screams out is: have you started any new...

Interesting it seems while a positive result will tell you yes you have those genes, a negative result provides no useful information if you don't have data on other family members having the gene:
...

So who actually plans to get tested due to this and how do you plan to pay for it? I think I maybe should get tested (cause of ancestry based risks - I might be at increased risk - not because of...

I agree. With property taxes like that $7800/annually (!!!!) what exactly is the appeal of homeownership over renting? Especially if you add in maintenance. Now if you can lock in property taxes...

Something like this:

Wonder what your legal rights would be there. Of course they claim to do some breast cancer genetic testing, but I doubt it's the 3k patented BRIC...

I see urging everyone to get genetically tested without legal genetic safeguards to be not entirely responsible. Of course in this case it's possible you may be legally protected, not because your...

Not everyone is going to opt for elective surgery though (and how many people's insurance will cover a surgery that is purely preventive for a cancer you don't have yet - well haha at least we aren't...

What are the ingredients? If it's just lentils, onions, celery, garlic, carrots that's going to make a *bland* though still edible lentil soup. The recipes that are good doctor it up a lot more...
