BAPTIST TO PRESBYTERIAN

Kathy and I joined Saxe Gotha Presbyterian Church this past Sunday. We had both been Baptist all of our lives, but after negotiating with their senior pastor and staff we could hardly turn down their generous offer that was placed on the table for us to become members. We will only have to observe 8 of the 10 commandments, tithe only 6 per cent of net, and attend church only 3 times a month.....What a Deal!!
Seriously, we were saddened to leave Northside Baptist, but felt that God was leading us to make this change for various reasons, none of which were anything negative about Northside. Northside is a GREAT CHURCH which we were blessed to attend for several years, and we certainly made some life long friends there. We are looking forward to our new venture at Saxe Gotha meeting new people and growing spiritually in our journey.

Lost a Framer

The Department of Corrections is serious about no tobacco products on any of their property. One of the inmates that was an experienced framer here at the frame shop is alleged to have had in his possession some tobacco this past weekend and he is now in lock-up. He will have a hearing later this week or sometime next week and if he is found guilty he will lose his job and get shipped to another facility. We have more business on the books now than we have had in several months and we are one framer short....that is not good since it takes months to train someone.

FREE VIAGRA -- "What a Deal"

I was reading all the bad news about our economy on MSNBC today and came across the following article:

Out of Work? At least the Viagra's free

Drugmaker offers prescription program for people who have lost their jobs

Trenton, N.J. - Pfizer Inc. is unveiling a new program Thursday that will let people who have lost their jobs and health insurance to keep taking some widely prescribed Pfizer medications including Viagra for free up to a year.

You can now lose your job, but keep your smile ;<)

GOOD TIME!

Last night Kathy and I went out with some of our new friends from Saxe Gotha Presbyterian Church and had a wonderful time. We had dinner at Hennessy's Restaurant which was fantastic - the food and service were superb. We then proceeded to the Town Theater and saw the play "Guys & Dolls" . It certainly was well worth missing American Idol and a few hours of sleep to have such a delightful evening.

THE SIMPLICITY OF MEDICARE

Since I am fast approaching the age of 65 I have started checking into medicare to see what it covers and checking into supplement insurance to cover what medicare does not cover. I do believe that there is going to be non-covered charges that little old me is going to be responsible for.
Medicare has plan A,B,C and D....it is my understanding that they give you plan A, but B will cost you $90.00+ per month. Even if you have plan A & B you need to have a supplement policy to take care of things that A & B does not pay. Now the supplement companies have plan A,B,C,D,E,F,F1,G,H,I,J and J1 it depends on how much you want to pay out of pocket as which one of these you go with. You can opt not to take plan B from medicare and go with C which is really a policy that is a gamble as to where they will pay any of it or not. After you make all of the above decisions you need to decide what you are going to do about plan D (I think D stands for drugs)....I really have not got around to studying this plan yet.
I still have about three months before I really have to make a decision, but the truth be known I should have started studying this about 10 years ago and then I might have been able to make an intelligent choice sometime soon.
