Unseen replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'Same-sex wedding cakes displease God'"I, too, am getting tired of us repeating ourselves. I'm aware of what the law is and don't need to have responses padded with recitations of common knowledge.

OBAMACARE Is Better Than You Think
Posted on September 24, 2013 at 11:40am 1 Comment 0 Likes
In just one week the main part of Obamacare will begin to kick in. This is the state level exchanges that will allow the uninsured to be covered. Beginning on October 1, people will be able to sign up to get insurance in their state regardless of their health.
Most people signing up on the exchanges will qualify for subsidies based on their income and family size. This means that the cost of insurance will be less than the advertised price.
This is good…

I mistakenly ordered a wireless mouse thinking it was a Blue Tooth mouse. I decided to return it, thinking I'd get a shipping label and instructions. Instead, they said to just keep it and they'd credit my card.
I do a LOT of my shopping with Amazon and this is just one more reason why. Amazon rocks!
Upper crust British women and their hats. What gives?
Posted on July 23, 2013 at 1:55am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I first noticed it at the recent Royal Wedding. It was hard to ignore that many of the female invitees to the wedding wore very extravagant hats. By contrast, American women seldom wear hats, and when they do the headgear tends to be much less showy. Here are some examples or prominent British women and their wacky hats:…
