		<description>Sorry to hear about the medical issue Sis, no matter how easy or complex the problem is, you always assume the worst and fret and worry. I&#039;m sure your doctors are on top of things though, and you&#039;ll be given answers soon.

Hogs and quiches as usual though! Your peanut gallery here is rooting for you.^:)^</description>

		<description>S.T., you know that I know all about scary hospital places!  Trust in God, and your doctors, and I know you will be fine.  I&#039;m praying for you.

Remember what got me through:

&quot;Never, Never, Never Give Up!!&quot;</description>

		<description>Thank you for the well wishes, all.

Keep in mind that, the worrywart that I am, I am envisioning worst-case scenario, but hopefully my dr. will be able to calm my fears next week.

GWR, re: the tip jar: Thank you for the offer, but I will only put the tip jar up again if I need the $$.  I&#039;m doing ok right now.</description>

		<description>ST, I have you in my prayers. During my tough times with lots on my plate, I&#039;m still here almost every day reading whether commenting or not. 

You have a beautiful mind and a great heart. Keep up your spirits!

		<description>OMG....ST, our prayers are that your doctors are wise, that you get the best of care, and that you recover completely and quickly.  And for what it&#039;s worth, I&#039;m with Steve on the tip jar idea.</description>

		<description>Steve, comments like that do more for me than any tip jar would.  Thank you - sincerely.

I&#039;ve gone through my share of health issues here and there like most people, but they were &quot;fixable&quot; with meds and/or a change in the types of foods I ate.  It&#039;s scary to think about the possibility of having an organ removed, even if it is one I hear the body can do without.

I should be thankful, as I (from what I&#039;ve read) have viable options that others may not have had with their health issues.</description>

		<description>About three weeks ago a friend&#039;s wife was very ill and took a week off work.  Turned out she had... an internal cyst.  I had never heard of such a thing, and it creeped me the hell out.

And now you come along with the same damn thing.  Not funny at all.

Get better ASAP.  I have a hard enough time maintaining my carefree, happy go lucky attitude without having to worry about you.

How about putting up a tip jar?  It&#039;d make me feel as if I were helping out if I could shoot a couple bucks at you.</description>

		<description>Interesting story from a paper that endorsed the Obamessiah:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nypost.com/seven/07222008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/illegal_rx__barack_objects_120907.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Illegal RX, Barack Objects&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

 &lt;blockquote&gt;IN yesterday&#039;s Post, we criticized Barack Obama&#039;s plan to &quot;give health insurance to 47 million Americans who are now without coverage.&quot; We raised the question: &quot;Are they Americans?&quot; - noting that the 47 million statistic includes those who&#039;ve come here illegally and are subject to deportation.

&lt;strong&gt;The Obama campaign complains that the senator has no such plan. Indeed, he&#039;s said his plan &quot;does not&quot; cover illegals: &quot;We&#039;ve got limited resources. And it is important for us that, when we&#039;ve got millions of US citizens that aren&#039;t yet covered, it&#039;s important for us to make sure that they are provided coverage&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Yet the Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that the 47 million figure includes illegal immigrants.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama can&#039;t have it both ways. He can&#039;t say he will cover 47 million Americans - as he has again and again in speeches and even in a national TV ad as recently as last month - and then turn around and deny that he&#039;ll cover the illegal immigrants who are included in that count.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Oh, but he can have it both ways.  When his supporters don&#039;t care that he lies and the media is too star struck to actually ask the man a question about his policies, he can have it both ways.  This is just the latest topic to be &quot;Obamasized&quot; with many different points of view about an issue.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s hoping things go well.

In political plane news, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.weaselzippers.net/blog/2008/07/american-flag-gets-tossed-under-the-busjet-for-obamas-middle-east-tour.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Zip discovered&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; the American flag that used to be on the Obama campaign plane has been replaced by the Obama symbol.  Fitting that the re-launch of the plane was overseas.</description>
