DC and Back Part 1

Photo from left: me, Josh, Miranda, Krissie and Tina (missing our hosts, Ashley and Marques in this photo)

I don’t want to use the word epic to describe this weekend, but it pretty much was. We laughed, ate, walked, ate, laughed, talked, walked, visited and took photos all weekend. It was pretty grand. We visited three memorials, saw the rain-beaten cherry blossom trees, missed Obama at the Licoln memorial by just a bit, and ate some glorious food.

I think I will do a post dedicated just to food, because we ate well and there needs to be a food post. I took photos of everything I ate and tried to be as mindful as possible when faced with a plate of fries and gyro meat or cashew chicken.

The drive home yesterday left me bloated and retaining water like a mouse in the desert heat. I’m parched and my ankles are swollen. I’m ready to start eating simple food again. Planning a trip to the gym tonight for strength training and getting back into insanity. I’m back to the real world with a mountain of projects to catch up with. I’m thinking I’m going to have to push Spring/Summer Wear it Well back a week or two to get caught up. It’s going to be good, I can promise that.

I’ll be back this evening with the food for today and some more DC photos.

Comprehensive Health Insurance For Beginners

You are playing with fire if you don’t have health insurance. You are probably aware of it, but put off by the cost. As healthcare in the United States today is not something a lot of people can easily afford. But nevertheless you do need to start thinking about it seriously, as going without it is like constantly walking a tightrope.

There are all kinds of health insurance packages, and admittedly, not everyone can have the most comprehensive policy due to cost factors. In that case take out what you can afford, and when you can afford more, improve your package. Whatever you do, do not live another day without health insurance. As the bills for certain procedures can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You know, you could die needlessly without health insurance. You could contract any expensive medical condition or disease, and no one will be able to help you. Don’t do that to yourself, get the insurance sorted out and at least then you can relax about that one aspect of your life.

It would be a shame to die of a disease simply because you could not afford to pay for the treatment or procedure. If you had health insurance perhaps things would not have gotten so out of hand. That would be your fault and no one else’s, as it is perfectly possible to get a policy established with a minimum of fuss.

And remember that getting knowledge on which health insurance policies are the best value is often a very quick process. Namely simply going online, finding sites that offer affordable health insurance quotes and then filling in a few details. Generally within a few minutes you can have a great idea of how much you might end up paying for a health policy.

People have died for lesser ills than failing to take out a health insurance policy. You are a smart person, and you live in the real world. You certainly should know better than to leave yourself exposed to chance like that. If you don’t have a health insurance plan already, you had better go get one.

Health insurance can be pricey and in reality rich people have health insurance because they can afford it. So the people who suffer the most from a lack of cover are the poor. That is why the government is trying to help out. But you should at least check out what health cover is available for yourself so that you can make an informed decision about it.

No one ever expects health problems, but in reality they do happen unexpectedly. No-one ever plans to get ill, but you get ill anyway. You don’t plan to be in an accident, but that is why they are called accidents. If you had health insurance, you wouldn’t have to worry so much, and you would be taken care of with greater ease in case of health problems.

The premiums on a health insurance package can vary based on the provider, or based on the size of the package. You need to compare notes with other providers to be sure that you are getting the best package possible.

It doesn’t matter that you are not rich. You need to get this figured out. The fact is that with health insurance you can have the insurance firm paying your medical bills every time you have to seek medical attention. All it takes is ensuring that your monthly premiums are paid in good time.It is definitely an expense. But it is unfortunately a basic one that you should be having. The days when health insurance was a luxury are long past. We live in a dangerous world, and you need to buckle down and get it sooner rather then later.
