Roads Lived ON and a Friend Dearly Missed
Earlier this year I was searching information on a Highway that I lived on during my childhood sexual abuse year. It was a clay gravel road with one way bridges for awhile then paved. So many potholes on the road our school bus rattled every bolt loose. Whenever it rained the school bus had to go an alternate route through logging roads 30 miles out of the way to get us to school by 2nd period. I lived halfway between Sheridan and Redfield on this gravel road. On a little gravel road called Qualls Rd. There was a trail from the neighbors yard through the woods to take a shortcut for the bus stop. This was a relief during winter days due to only time used because of ticks so bad. Although I found myself running down the trail a few times to get to the bus on time during warm weather. The day at school was spent picking c-ticks off my skin. Once walking this trail while carrying my Arkansas History book a bird crapped on the book. Behind this house back then where this trail was- was a pastuer with black cows. My friend Kim Harris lived there. I remember wearing red shirt and running from the cows across the wooden steps built across the fence. Kim had all kinds of animals at her house including peacocks. There was a big ladder platform with a handlebar swing that everyone played. I moved from here during the summer after 8th grade. I moved to Watson Chapel on Cross Road. After highschool, I met Kim again. We became close friends again. She drove a little blue car and we sang and sang everywhere we went. She was a little songbird. She continued to live at the same location but was changed some now the trail that I walked to catch the bus on was her driveway. I thought that was very cool. No more catching ticks through the pine thicket trail. While I was researching I discovered her trajic death. She was murdered. I miss her. I am just now able to sing in my car again without crying.

Update: Double shooting in Grant County
Story Comments | Share |
Updated: 12/08/2010 8:51 pm | Published: 12/03/2010 10:53 am |
“Something like this isn’t supposed to happen.”
That’s what the Sheriff is saying about the gruesome double shooting in Grant County.
Detectives are working leads right now at the Grant County Sheriff’s Office. But this is a double shooting with whole lot more questions than answers.
“Right at this point we’re kind of at a loss as to why this occurred,” Sheppard says.
Sheriff Robert Sheppard says Garry Harris died in the home. His daughter, 38-year-old Kimberly Tiger, was taken to Baptist Hospital in Little Rock. Initial reports stated she had died in transit but it now appears she may be on life support.
Detectives have few solid leads. There are no signs of struggle or forced entry and nothing was taken.
As word quickly spread about the shooting, family members arrived at the quiet Grant County home.
The Sheriff says he doesn’t know why the father and daughter were targeted.
“Mr. Harris is the kind of fellow that never has had a problem with anybody, gets along with everyone,” Sheppard says. “Co-workers know him and know him to be in a close-knit family and polite. Something like this is not supposed to happen.”
Now detectives are working to find out why it did, and even more important, who’s responsible.
Harris worked for the Pulaski County Road and Bridge Department with his wife. Today was his day off; his wife was at work when the shooting happened.
The Sheriff says he doesn’t know if the victims were targeted or if the shootings were random.
Even without that information, the Sheriff adds he doesn’t have concern for the neighborhood about possible additional attacks.

Hi this is Lori. You can call me please. My computer lost signal again. 9037807393

Hi Lori, It was nice meeting you and talking to you. I wrote you on Liveperson, since you were having so many problems with your computer, if I could give you feedback based on what we were able to cover? I’m glad to meet with you again of course, but if it’s stormy or rainy, telephone would be preferrable. Unfortunately, according to Liveperson’s Terms of Service, I’m not allowed to call anyone off the system, but it does have a feature where you can call me on the system, if you’d like to try that instead of the computer in the future. Please let me know. Take good care. Ernest Wahrburg, LCSW.

thanks feedback would be nice. Thank you for your concern, patience, and nice talking to you.
-

January 30, 2010

Lori: Would you prefer to receive the feedback here on FB or back on Liveperson? Thanks, Ernest Wahrburg, LCSW.
-
-
January 30, 2010
-
Either way is ok but i can get to Fb on my phone. So Fb would be better for me.
-
-
January 30, 2010
-
Ok Lori, FB it is. Plan to get it done not later than tomorrow morning. Take good care.
-
-
January 30, 2010
-
Ok Lori, Here goes some feedback, but please understand that I didn’t really get as far as I would have wanted to today, partly because of the computer problems, so some of my statements could be pre-mature, so please don’t take “anything to heart” at this point. Based on our meeting today, I would say that your diagnosis is: Major depr

Thanks I will make a doctors appointment on Monday. I think you are so right about me tending to put myself last. I would love some “reconstructive work” 🙂 I am off work until Tuesday. What would be a good time?
-

January 31, 2010

Excellent, thanks for getting back to me. Glad you plan to make a doctor’s appt. I work in a group private practice on Mon., Tues., Thurs. and Fri. If you’d like to move forward soon therefore, today, Sun. would be the best option. I don’t know what time you’ll wake up and see this message, but when you do, get back to me, and we can plan a time, if you’d like to meet today. My only question would be how the weather is by you, regarding your computer’s performance. Take care. Hope to speak to you later.

January 31, 2010

Good Morning! I think my computer is better today. Clouds are gone. Two bars instead of one, and I have been on for 10 minutes so far without disruption. Meeting today would be great!
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Ok, good to hear! What time would be good for you?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
@2, 3 your time?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
ok, so 3PM EST?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
yes
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Ok, would the same fee for 60min. be alright, not too stressful for you?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
yes would be fine. But this would have to be my last one until next payday. February 12
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
well, so as not to have such a big lapse, I’d be glad to halve the fee, if that helps, or even throw in a session gratis, or do email exchange. I’m happy to work with you. :o)
-
For today, do u have a specific topic you’d like to discuss?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
I would like to discuss coping mechanisms as an adult instead of reverting back to childhood mechanisms. I think that is part of my depression and one thing I did as a child was stay in my room and not ever talk to anyone for like 8 y/o until 17.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Ok, I think in order to discuss that in an effective manner, we would need to explore some of the abuse experiences, to develop an understanding of how those childhood mechanisms developed and why you may be vulnerable to reverting back to them at times. Would you be comfortable with some discussion of the childhood abuse, with that objective?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
I would go in my closet and cry. Because crying or laughing was not allowed by my father. He is german descent. His grandparents imigrated from Germany.
-
yes I would be comfortable
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Yes, I understand. I am of German descent as well. See you later then. Take care. :o)

things that are positive about me
I do not drink alcohol. I love my children. They are my most precious blessings. I am very smart. I think I am very loved by God. Because he hears and answers my prayers. Even though I am Christian I usually pray directly to God. I am a very good nurse with lots of empathy for my patients. I am blessed with brains to get me through college during very stressful times. I was one of 30 chosen out of 400 applicants for nursing school. The stress I have endured in my life makes my life as a nurse really easier than most because this job that is stressful to most is not that stressful to me. I seem to be able to make a stressful situation calmer. I move fast in life when necessary and slow down when things are acccomplished or like at a pause,for reasons like money, transortation, etc. I call this patience. It is truely a virtue that not many people have. Good things do come to those that wait. I am a mostly auditory learner. So lisening and understanding come easy to me. I I love music. . I am a fairly good clarinet playerl

January 31, 2010

Oh, ok – thank you, you did that very fast. That’s a good sign. Don’t hesitate to add more if you’d like, before we meet again. It’s been nice working with you. Hope you have a good week and take care.

I am beautiful on the inside. That beauty shines through to the world. I don’t argue with people. I usually compromise. Everyone is entitled to there own opinion however ridiculous it might seem to me. I don’t have to agree with it I have my own opinions.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
I am to the point straight forward. Do not like to waste my time with loosers, ( people that try to drain every thing from you without giving anything back ) I am successful because I am alive against bad odds. The devil must hate me. I see positive things in everyone. I model those positive qualities, Combine them and make them my own. I don’t want to repeat past mistakes so I try to see what happened in my past so I never go through that again. This way my future is brighter with less falling down. This is the reason history is a class.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Although history was always the one class I never did very good at lol
-
I always liked to watch the current events. History in its present form to make my life better for my generation.
-
The news, tmz, current events that are never talked about in school. I loved to talk to my Grandma Ruby when she was alive. She actually lived in the Great Depression. Had twins told the mid wife after they were born I will pay you 10 dollars instead of 5 dollars. Put the twins in a shoebox to keep them warm. Punched wholes in the shoe box lol so they would not suffacate.

back to me. I have respect for my elders even though I was so badly abused. I know there life had to suck really bad to take that out on me. Some things they went through I don’t want to understand. To understand some things you have to live through it and I never want to live through whatever made my parents so weird.
-
-
January 31, 2010

Well, I really am glad to read that you do have many positive feelings about yourself!! That’s great to see. One important item that we didn’t get to last time relates to bipolar disorder/hypomania, so let’s plan to do that at the beginning of our next session. I’d appreciate if you remind me, in case I seem to have forgotten. Thanks Lori.

January 31, 2010

Lori, do you ever seem to go thru a period of time, when you can get by on no, or almost no sleep?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Yes
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Have you ever had a period of time where you went on shopping sprees, and have spent money in a manner disproportionate to what you were really able to afford?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
when I am manic I don’t sleep at all. I went like 2 weeks before without sleeping. That was before my hospitalization after lpn school. Then my mom taking away my son did not help much to ease the depression after my manic phase was over.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Yes, your mom sounds very opportunistic and I’m sorry to hear that!
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
I am pretty much not a big spender except on my kids
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Ok, that sounds good. Did u ever go on spending splurges for them, where your spending was disproportionate to what was really realistic for you to spend?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-

Have you ever felt like you were involved in so many different projects, so extremely busy, that you had so many balls in the air, that it was difficult to juggle them all without dropping any of the balls?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
that included lights, water and gas and local phone and cable
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
ok, that really doesn’t sound like a problem, just typical financial stresses during youthful years of education.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
no but I have taken like 5 showers a day . one day seemed like a year.
-
yes I am wondering when finacial stress ever ends?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
you took five showers a day, for some prolonged time period? What was making you feel the need to do that?
-
lol, yeah, in today’s economy, I think we all are.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
to keep my self healthy while being awake becasuse I was moving because I gave my landlord only half the rent so I could afford toliet paper. and I came home from work to my door being taken off its hinges. with a note saying if I want my door back pay me my rent
-
then another note saying do I need to take your door off again?
-
so I was moving putting my stuff in my car and moving it to my friends grandfather’s back house.
-
I made the mistake of calling my mom and leaving a detailed budget on her answering machine because she woudl not answer the phone
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Wow, that’s some way of operating as a landord! That took a lot of nerve! Did you have an ongoing problem with this landlord?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
she showed up at my house saying “get the behind me satan” I pushed her out the door and locked it.
-
I did not need the extra stress
-
yeah I went and stayed at a friend’s house. The lanlord then left a eviction letter on the door
-
I called up the landlord said I am not breaking the lease you are the one breaking the lease I will stay and pay you your money. He then said I could move without paying the lease
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Wow, he sounds very unprofessional!
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
lol then my mom came and got me in her car. Was taking me to where she lives. Me telling her no I have to work next day was working in dialysis still in training. so when we got to a red light I reached to open the door to get out. My sister in back seat caught the door. Parents pulled up in liquor store parking lot to buy coke while sister called paramedics to come get me
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
In terms of feeling totally overwhelmed with projects, tasks and ideas, did u ever feel like you had so many balls in the air, that it was difficult to maintain your pace without dropping some of the balls?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
they told them I tried to jump out the van. Took me to er. er doctor said I could go home with someone staying with me. So my parents took me home left my sister there. I was up all night packing. I woke her up to ask to use her cell phone to call my friend. She called the police on me
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
then I went to jail. cuz when the police got there I slapped her when I realized she called them cuz I was trying to tell the cop to get her out of my house.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
You slapped your mom?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
I stayed in jail til monday they took me to er then to psychiatric hospital. then I was served with papers with my mom having custody of my son

-
-
January 31, 2010
-
have u ever had any difficulty with being physically assaultive of others?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
no but that was uncalled for her to call the police over me just asking to borrow her cell phone to call a friend she could of just said no and went back to bed
-
lmao my sister 5′ 11 german blood. That was very brave of me at 5’2 only 120 lbs then
-
I was hypomanic at the time that was my diagnosis at the hospital
-
I would probably never be that brave again in my life
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Have u ever had a period of time where u felt like your behavior was wreckless, overly risky, promiscuous, where u drove extremely fast or engaged in any other potentially dangerous activities for a prolonged time period?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
I was in the hospital for 2 weeks my boss was so sweet she gave me my sick leave and vacation pay never missed a pay check
-
I was permiscuous once led to me having my first baby. So good things do happen by accident she is living proof.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
sorry, I didn’t follow, what did you feel so brave about?
-
Yes, they do. But you never had a period of time when you felt that you acted in a promiscuous manner?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Her dad I met at a party told him he was the cutest guy I have ever seen and you are taking me home tonight. We had sex. We dated after that for about 3 months he moved in with me. He had trust issues naturally because of how we met. So one day I come home from a workout at the gym. He is not there. I go to sleep wake up and he is in the living room sleeping with another girl. I kick him out go to the clinic to make sure he did not give me a disease. Find out I am pregnant. That was my 21st birthday. My best friend gave me the dollar for the check up for a bithday gift.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
I felt brave because my sister is very mean. She shows her anger toward others very mean. I saw her drop kick her puppy once all the way across the yard. And she used to tell me you better move. When she says that you better cuz she will hit the first thing in sight.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Omg, so you actually caught him in the act and managed not to freak out and kept your cool?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Ya I just told him to get out.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
This is a pretty nifty way of communicating, huh? :o)
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Then found out that afternoon i was pregnant with his baby
-
Ya
-

I’m so sorry that you’ve been treated so abusively by men, and by women too, for that matter.

and she so tall. all my family is tall the only one shorter than me in everyone in the family is my 12 y/o son. even my 15 y/o nephew is like 6’2 inches tall
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
Have you been feeling especially “charged up” tonight?
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
not really. just exiciting someone I can talk to about this crazy life. Helps me sort through my actions and thoughts and seeming to be normal. I have never had anyone to really talki too.
-
no one understands this much craziness. My life is like the movie jumanji. One crazy thing after another. I want a stop to the craziness and peace and happiness.
-
Sharing my past has something to do with fixing that I would talk till it transpired because that is how much I want that.
-
another good quality about me I am determined. I finish what I start. Might be a little late, might be not as good as I planned, might be obstacles in the way but I always find a way to get through them.
-
I have a childlike heart. I don’t like to learn the hard way. I like to read the directions and look stuff up in the dictionary when I don’t know.
-
I love babies I know they understand way more than they tell you.
-
I believe life is what you make it. You can be happy with yourself no matter what anyone else thinks. Through troubled times you can get inner strength from thinking good things about yourself. Like I told you about me staying in my room. I would always exercise. Listen to music, write my thoughts in a journal, fix my hair and makeup till I knew I was pretty in the mirror. Did not matter to me what my mom thought. She would say I”m ” ugly, stupid, liar, going to hell, crazy, lazy, good for nothing” I would say to my self in the mirror just the opposite.
-
-
January 31, 2010
-
lmao as an adult I told her ” your rubber I’m glue whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you”
-
I’m rubber your glue
-
as the mom she is suppose to be the glue the role model but she not to me.What ever mean things she says I want them to bounce off of me and stay on her.
-
I always drive slow. only had one speeding ticket in my life was going 45 in a 40
-
one of my long term goals is to be a writer some day. I made a on every college paper written. only red mark was very good metaphor. i love to write.

I am going to bed now. Just going to comment on someone’s status. Was requested that i do. Night.

February 1, 2010
-
My most sincere apologies Lori!!! I know I left rather abruptly. There was actually a national news story that broke, which has some peripheral involvement to me, at my former workplace. Just in case you have any interested, I’ve posted it on my FB page. Again, my sincere apology for leaving abruptly. Hope all is well with you. Good night. :o)
-
-
February 1, 2010
-
No apology needed. Please take care. I know you can get back to here anytime. I just quit writing because I was sleepy.
-
about my hypomania: it is like the world is spinning too fast to catch up. Anxiety, fear,stress motivate you to try to do the almost impossible. You feel like you will die if you don’t get it accomplished. It is a very hard thing to explain.
-
you talk in word salad, because your thoughts are going to fast for your mouth to speak them
-
if you don’t clear your brain of those thoughts you loose total control of yourself
-
while I was manic i did stress relieve things over and over like take 5 bubble baths a day. exercise pray eat more I don’t know why but I felt like I was going to die like my heart was going to stop. After going to jail while at er my potassium was critical low. only 2.2
-
it was diagnosis as hypokalemia of unknown etiology
-
I ate tons of salt substitute oranges bananas potatoes my potassium came to just 3.5
-
I have always wondered why my potassium was so low?
-
-
February 1, 2010
-
it’s like your body will actually start to shut down trying to survive the stress. I believe stress can kill you.
-
I thank God that night that I did go to jail and er and to hospital. I might would of died otherwise.

the next manic episode happened one year later. I was living in Corsicana, texas as a travel nurse. My son was still at my parents. I would talk to my mom and she would ask me what I said to my son to make him cry. The only thing I would say was that I love you more than anything no matter where we are in the world. Asked him if he needed anything. He told me his shoes were too small. I told him i would send a package in the mail. I was worried that my parents were neglecting my sons needs and emotional abuse. I confided in a friend at work. There advise was to call the abuse hotline. For some weird reason texas won’t investigate arkansas. probably to do with politics and money. anyway i became manic again not sleeping. this time i was delusional and having auditory hallucinations. It was like I was talking directly to God and he was talking back to me. God told me I did not have those parents anymore. That he was my dad now and he would take care of me. That he made me his direct descendant and my dna goes back to adam and eve. That the dna proves who I am. We also talked about Jesus that he was my brother. God has way more children than just Jesus.

the next manic episode happened one year later. I was living in Corsicana, texas as a travel nurse. My son was still at my parents. I would talk to my mom and she would ask me what I said to my son to make him cry. The only thing I would say was that I love you more than anything no matter where we are in the world. Asked him if he needed anything. He told me his shoes were too small. I told him i would send a package in the mail. I was worried that my parents were neglecting my sons needs and emotional abuse. I confided in a friend at work. There advise was to call the abuse hotline. For some weird reason texas won’t investigate arkansas. probably to do with politics and money. anyway i became manic again not sleeping. this time i was delusional and having auditory hallucinations. It was like I was talking directly to God and he was talking back to me. God told me I did not have those parents anymore. That he was my dad now and he would take care of me. That he made me his direct descendant and my dna goes back to adam and eve. That the dna proves who I am. We also talked about Jesus that he was my brother. God has way more children than just Jesus. Jesus was the one that endured so much for everyone. anyways I was basically just in our world. I went outside in a see through shirt with nothing on underneath I was talking to not only God but demons as well. The demons were trying to pull me down.

I guess I would like to stay as present focused as possible and concentrate on how you’re feeling in most recent times, what you feel your strongest current needs are, and how you feel those needs could best be met in the future. To be perfectly honest with you Lori, and this is not meant as a criticism, as I recall asking you for details, but the barrage of details about manic episodes and hypomania, can be a bit disorienting, and feels like it’s diverging away from a productive goal oriented session. I would like to maximize the help that I can offer you, so what are your current priorities that we can work on?/

1. Taking positive steps forward to be assertive. Taking criticism and not getting upset. Others perception of me. Feeling confident in my decisions.
-
I tend to always put myself last. Even with things I am good at it seems I lack confidence in myself. Does that even make sense?
-
-
February 6, 2010
-
Yes, Lori. All of that does make complete sense!! The reason I say that is because when a child is badly abused rather than being nurtured, rather than being loved, assisted in their emotional development, sense of self, having their self esteem enhanced, etc., those are exactly the type of results that take place. So, is this the basic topic you’d like to pursue at out next meeting?
-

Yes I would love that. It will help me in all aspects of my life.

Ok, did you prefer to do this today or tomorrow and around what time? How do things look in terms of your computer’s reception and the weather? I recall you saying that you won’t be paid again till the middle of the month, so that you wanted to have a big lapse in meetings because of the $18.00 fee. Would you be able to do a nominal fee of $4.50 for about an hour and a quarter, and that would also provide me with a statistical rating? Please advice. Thanks Doreen

the nominal fee would be very fair. Your valuable input is priceless.

That’s very sweet of you to say Lori. I do appreciate it. I’m sorry that I’m just seeing your message now. I could make it tonight between 8PM and 9:15PM EST, if that works for you. Please advise. Thanks

Victor Davis Hanson says the Obama administration’s release of covert details of the war on terror — what he calls “Securitygate” — is far more serious than either Watergate or Iran-Contra. Read the article, and let us know if you agree.

We missed you on Thanksgiving. I’ve played with facebook and just click on first thing then another. Don’t understand all about it yet tho. I’m learning. I found all your blogs tho. I was diappointed in some of the things I read. Some truth but a lot of wrong information. I’m sorry you feel I’m the cause of all your troubles. All Ever did was try to be kind and helpful to you. I ask for your forgiveness of all you think I have said, or done or didn’t do. I pray for you everyday as well as Nathaniel and Sabrina. I forgive you for all you have said and done. Mom

I love you too. I did not go this year to thanksgiving to your home due to last year I went after working the day before 12 hours got off work and drove non stop 6 hours to get there then I had to be back to go to work next day. My kids witness first hand this plus we so poor finacially we were so excited to even be able to come. Well it was told to all of us afterward that you called and said that we just came ate and left. That hurt my children’s feeling very much. I made the decision not to put them through that again so I spent thanksgiving at Carolyn’s. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful. I love you mom. It is not my place to forgive that is for God to do. I forgave you a long time ago and I even thankyou for all that you do:)

March 26, 2011

I got your message. I didn’t know why you didn’t stay after dinner and went with your friend and to Carolyn’s for thanksgiving. I’m glad you came tho. I pray for all of you everyday. I didn’t forget Sabrina’s birthday but have no way to send her anything. No answer on phone or address. I’m sorry you feel like you do. I love all of you no matter what you think. I don’t know what you think I did or didn’t do. It seems like you feel it’s always someone elses fault for everything. I ask for your forgiveness again. I can’t do any more than I have already done. Come when you can. Love, Mom

Yes if and when i can i would love to come. I want to locate a lost friend soon in arkansas. I do not think SABRINA will have a vacation. And nothing you did is your fault or anyone’s fault it just is no way to redo only change. One thing that would be nice would be to warn me ahead of time when your going to move my things have daddy throw me to the ground rape me ignore me lie to me or don’t even care when my baby is about to die have daddy tell me that i am getting on mom’s nerves and must leave slap my daughter lie to the court without me being present saying that I am unemployed taking my son. Throwing away all my things that you think are trash packing up all my things and going through all my things without my permission and taking half of it for your own house grand theft auto. Trying to even steal my own paycheck while in the hospital. Telling me the day after of having a hysterectomy to divorce my husband or move God was with me I physically by myself tore down three beds placed in truck with as much other would fit and gladly moved the day after surgery and had all the beds up and together before bedtime by myself. My husband at the time wanted more things so went back the next day without me.

Apathy is when you do not care what happens in a situation. I feel this way when I think my opinion does not matter and others will choose one way whether I am for or against, so why bother with discussion? I would consider this a waste of time and energy when I could be doing other things more enjoyable. I do admire politicians that speak up for their causes against greater forces like the oil industry, electric companies, big banks, and Wall Street. Are they for the little people anymore? The little people are so full of apathy due to justice not seen that no one is for the people anymore. Politicians in it for what they can get from the big banks, Wall Street, electric companies, oil industries. It seems like one conglomerate against another not people vs. conglomerate. Apathy causes voters not to vote, and politicians to ignore their cries.
The healthcare industry is so high priced now that people are seen as a price tag and not someone’s relative or friend. The powers in Washington are constantly looking for ways to decrease the payment from Medicare, but not ways to reduce the price of the medications. You cannot decrease the payment of the Medicare without more sickness happening to the patients because the cost is not going down. The patient will not be able to afford the treatment, and the employer will not be able to afford to pay workers. Hospitals and clinics will continue to close up. Recently a hospital in downtown San Antonio is closing. The original date in November has now moved up to July. The workers found out from the newspaper and not the employer that they would be looking for a new job in a month’s time.
People hurting that are nurses, doctors, and technicians. These caregivers will probably go on doing their work elsewhere saving lives without caring about the big things like hospital closings, and continued Medicare payments. The healthcare workers care about the patients getting better and their families provided for. Apathy abounds for the bigger things because they have no control at all what happens.
Could a politician stand up and tell a pharmaceutical company that your medication can no longer cost $1000 per dose? This will not work either because the pharmaceutical companies have to pay the cost of research of new drugs. Every drug goes through testing at the Food and Drug Administration, before it is considered safe. This is very costly and creates increased prices of the medications already considered safe. When the medication is first released as considered safe for use, the drug company has to pay out of pocket to market the drug. They are taking a chance that it will be a profit in the future. The reason the drug company has to eat the cost is because Medicare and insurance companies do not pay for a new medication until after it has reached the point of proving that the medication decreases hospital visits decreasing insurance payouts. This in turn puts a damper on new cures. This hold up will lead to holding up scientists to continue research.
The prices are so costly in an economy that is bankrupt that the solution could only become a global matter and no longer a little person matter. Maybe have the UN decide to back scientist for so many years for a cure. They decide which country gets the subsidy for the cure. Then after the cure is found the UN funds the cost of providing the cure. I am sad to say that my little vote is just a needle in a haystack. With so many not caring, the world is stagnant and decreasing in healthcare. We must all come together to end the apathy that is allowing congress to not care for us.
Busy Lately and now taking time for a MoMENT
I am currently attending two colleges one for a bachelor’s degree of Nursing and another for a bachelor’s degree of Business Administration. This is my assignment last week in English Comp I discussion. I love this class more than any class taken in a very long time. My comments are all that I am posting and not my classmates. Just this day 20 minutes ago I was carpet shampooing my carpet in the back room and heard a light knock on the door it was my books for next semester in my Nursing school: five books for my literature class. And one very little book for my professional Nursing class. I am so blessed; I want to smile until I cry so blessed. The nursing books are what put me to sleep and the literature, well I want to read non-stop this is so way cool:)

Paying Bills On-line

Going to college, work, and my son’s schedule keep me very busy. My days are so full that I do not have time to get to the post office before it closes. At times, bills are due before knowing. I always have the internet at my fingertips no matter where I am. The mobile phone has 4G unlimited access. Technology has made life easier to plan and pay bills on time that will not get overlooked. Paying bills on-line saves time, money, and natural resources.
Before having internet access, I physically went to a payment center within a certain time frame. With the schedule so busy, time runs out for simply paying bills. I would get off work at 8pm when no site is open. This has inconvenienced me to the point of my electricity being turned off. I went home to a daughter devastated. No way for her to get ready for school the next morning. Her natural curls would never straighten without electricity to heat up the iron. We left our inconvenienced home and checked into the Holiday Inn. While no electricity was at home, we were enjoying the comfort of an indoor pool, cable television, and other amenities of the hotel. The extra money spent paying for the hotel room is avoidable paying bills on-line.
The internet makes the days of paying bills easier by allowing time for relaxation. Paying bills no longer requires showering, dressing, and applying make-up. Simply wake-up and type www.cpsenergy.com . The energy bill paid from the comfort of the bed in pajamas is on time. The website shows the current bill due, due date, and past amounts paid. Without internet, driving to a location center through traffic after work becomes a dreaded ritual; the payment center’s operating hours remain closed before work. It would be more convenient before work due to less traffic. Hitting 5 o’clock rush hour traffic, driving extra miles to reach the payment center; the traffic slows down to a crawl on the interstate. When reaching the scene, it looks as though everyone must pay at the same time. The line stretches all the way to the door. A long wait in line taking more time away from other important things such as homework, sleep, and dinner is frustrating to anyone. Waiting in a line is not very convenient.
Paying on-line not only saves time, it also reduces money spent. Gas is so expensive that being at home saves 5 dollars of gasoline to drive to a location center. Not only is money saved on the expense to get there; envelopes, stamps, or money orders are no longer purchased. By using the debit card over the internet, checks are not even an issue. The cost of the supplier for the product is also reduced. They can decrease employees and cut out the price of mailing bills. These things help to keep the cost of the product affordable to everyone.
Another benefit of paying bills on-line is the saving of natural resources. No longer receiving bills by snail-mail decreases paper use. A notice sent through e-mail politely states the next due date. By paying direct from my fingertips on the computer, all paper decreases in the process. Checks are not needed. The receipt is on the computer. Storing the receipt in a file on the computer is simply accomplished in a few clicks. Trees needed to make paper for these documents are now saved.
Technology has made my life simpler. I now have time to relax doing other things. Paying bills on-line gives me freedom to use my time for school, work, or sleep. I no longer have a headache trying to get off in time to get to a payment center before it closes only to get into a traffic jam and miss the cut off time. I save gas, money, and trees. I will definitely continue to pay bills on-line.
