They milk the system and know all the loopholes. The system is never going to get better as we reward those who do nothing and penalize those who pay their bills and work hard.

I am so glad things worked out so well with the hospital and the meds..we have had a couple of incidents when the meds were going to be huge (when we had to get them locally and couldn't get to the VA) and the pharmisist was wonderful!!!<BR/>Hope you hubby is doing much better...sorry I have been "off" for a few days....

I was really off kilter yesterday, but felt like I had something to say. I didn't want to come off sounding ungrateful or petty, you know? But I feel like there's no way I'm the only one out there that feels the way that I do and if someone can read what I say and relate in any way, and know that they aren't alone, then how can I not write what's on my mind... I think it's important for people to know that just because a person is Christian, doesn't mean that life is any easier, or that we don't get frustrated as anything at injustice or unfairness.<BR/>Every day I go to work saying how much I hate my job, but something has kept me going back there for 6 and a half years! It's been a long test of will power and patience, and a huge lesson for me, one that used to be hot headed and never think before I spoke, ever... Now I have no choice but to bite my tongue and just keep rolling with the punches, trying to leave a decent impression with everyone that I come in contact with there. <BR/>You all ROCK for being such a great source of friendship and support!!!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866427556365110189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339741706739267093.post-63272276311287619902009-02-17T17:38:00.000-05:002009-02-17T17:38:00.000-05:00wowzers. what a post. what a great post. and tr...wowzers. what a post. what a great post. and truly tiffany, i don't know how you people do it. like nurses w/ cancer kids and other jobs that i don't know HOW in the world their heart can take it each day.<BR/><BR/>so first off...THANK YOU. thank you for being in this profession no matter how hard it is. for being a person who takes the flack, lives the hard times and still comes out a beautiful, grateful, happy and wonderful person.<BR/><BR/>i love hearing how God shows up BIG in situations like this!Growin' With Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475275047957595272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339741706739267093.post-31417326116185934832009-02-17T13:29:00.000-05:002009-02-17T13:29:00.000-05:00Amen sister!Amen sister!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339741706739267093.post-75557290698405404002009-02-17T09:57:00.000-05:002009-02-17T09:57:00.000-05:00This reminds me of a story I heard once of a wome...This reminds me of a story I heard once of a women who was in desperate need of medical attention but because the husband like you say made 10.00 to much they could not get the help, the only thing they could do was get divorced and her go on to welfare so that she could get the help she needed.(crazy) Hope the meds kick in quick and gets him over this illness.whiteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697916724755191082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339741706739267093.post-6571315619755669722009-02-17T09:36:00.000-05:002009-02-17T09:36:00.000-05:00Tiff, you are really a good writer.

My parents are like that as well.... my dad worked his whole life - had cancer & had his insurance dropped - they've been without insurance now for 6 years - cant even go see if he's still in remission - how sad a state we live in... but as Christians - we gotta submit to authorities & know God is in control!!!<BR/><BR/>Bless you friend!<BR/><BR/>(BTW - your winning package is going in the mail Friday!)Rebecca Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965781380511208862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339741706739267093.post-2031459991531318822009-02-16T22:01:00.000-05:002009-02-16T22:01:00.000-05:00Hi Tiff,So glad your story had a happy ending...I ...Hi Tiff,<BR/><BR/>So glad your story had a happy ending...I too get frustrated by the abuse of the system. I was a volunteer counselor in a Pregnancy Support Center. I too saw and heard how various ones sometimes worked harder to work the system than they would have at a real job. It does get frustrating when you yourself try to live an honest, hard-working life.<BR/><BR/>I hope your husband is on the mend now...smiles and sunshine...BevTymes Pasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12229994207279885290noreply@blogger.com
