Labour Day 2013

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

 

Lunch: ham sandwich and a bottle of Diet Pepsi

 

Dinner: We   went to the Boot Hill Casino and I had:

• salad bar (for only an extra $3.50)
• 1 lb prime rib (not too much fat)
• baked potatoe
• iced water

Food was excellent (Kathie had  lobster.) but the place was a bit crowded and had to wait almost four minutes before a waiter realized customers were waiting!   We were seated and the waitress sold me on the prime rib special. The thing about the special was the cost of the steak and the cost of the salad bar were about $9 less than the regular price (which came with salad). It was worth doing...

 

After that, I lost $5 at the slot machine.

Fwd: An important message about changes in health insurance for people with diabetes

-------- Original Message --------

Subject:	An important message about changes in health insurance for people with diabetes
Date:	Wed, 21 Aug 2013 10:30:59 -0500 (CDT)

Dear Michael,    The Affordable Care Act is bringing additional major health insurance  changes for people with diabetes over the next few months,  including-finally-the end of discrimination against people  with diabetes in the health insurance market. No longer can an  insurance company stamp "NO" on an application, simply  because you or a family member has diabetes.    While these changes will benefit people with diabetes all over the  country, we are aware that there is some confusion about how they will  benefit you, your friends and your family.    That is why, at the American Diabetes Association, we are bringing you  information about the Affordable Care Act to help you get insurance  that best meets the needs of you and your family.    There are two important dates to keep in mind:    *  On October 1, 2013, people can start signing up for health  insurance through their state Marketplace. Coverage purchased in  the Marketplace will go into effect as early as January 1,  2014.   *  January 1, 2014 brings a host of other changes including ending  discrimination based on diabetes, ending lifetime dollar limits  on benefits, and providing financial help to pay for insurance.    We have two new documents to help you understand both Marketplaces and  the upcoming changes in health insurance rules related to diabetes. These documents are also available in Spanish.    In the Association's new Q&A,  "The Health Insurance Marketplace and People with  Diabetes",  http://main.diabetes.org/site/R?i=-IfSLSsWXbCY6RYwrqLBRw  you will find a list of frequently asked questions about the new  Health Insurance Marketplace opening in your state on October 1st. If  you or anyone you know is uninsured or shopping for new  coverage-or simply wants to explore other insurance  options-this document will help you learn more about  Marketplaces. The American Diabetes Association does not recommend  specific health plans, but we want to provide you with an  understanding of the new Marketplaces and link you to available  resources for assistance. Click HERE to read the Q&A.  http://main.diabetes.org/site/R?i=6Mz1E3hSMkp4wv94h0RBsg    The American Diabetes Association's new "Health Insurance  Update: Protections for People with Diabetes"  http://main.diabetes.org/site/R?i=BPGfalTfVu5_mszstGVT3g  provides information on changes to health insurance rules which impact  people with diabetes, including changes that are already in effect and  some starting on the first day of the new year. We want to help you  understand these changes and how they can benefit you, your friends  and family. Click HERE to read the update.  http://main.diabetes.org/site/R?i=7sU-0g7stKghJM5wVV4qDg    Making sure that people living with, and at risk for, diabetes can  access the care they need for optimal health is at the core of the  American Diabetes Association's mission. The new Marketplaces,  coupled with the new health insurance rules, will help people with  diabetes get the care and treatment they need. Please help spread the  word about these changes by forwarding this email to friends and  family affected by diabetes.    We appreciate your support and everything you do to Stop  Diabetes®.    Sincerely,    Karen D. Talmadge, PhD  Chair of the Board, American Diabetes Association    P.S.

18 August 2013

_____Breakfast: went to IHOP and had very good food and excellent service.  I was quite favourably impressed by this!  I had an all meat omlette with three buttermilk pancakes, iced water and coffee.

               Snack: some dark chocolate and another cup of coffee 

________Lunch: two hot dogs, bottle of Diet Pepsi and a chunk of dark chocolate.

All of the caffine  gave me a migrain; it wasn't painful as I took an overdose of pain killer.

_______Dinner:

Pre-Bed Snack:

17 August 2013

_____Breakfast: a breakfast sandwich (at home) and coffee

________Lunch: at a Lions District Cabinet meeting in Dighton where I had a ham/roast beef sandwich, some potatoe salad and desert. I drank some cold water and ice tea.

_______Dinner: At the Italian place at Napoli's Italian Restaurant at the Garden City Kansas airport where I had excellent spaghetti with meat balls and meat sauce and two rolls with butter and two beers. I had Budweiser as this has become my new default beer. It was not something too exotic or "light" or "lite" or that watered down "light" beer called "Ultra".  Back in the day before "lite" or "light" beer was invented, there were many excellent beers better than Bud. However, Henry Weinharts was bought out and the quality crapped out and Olympia was bought out and destroyed before many of today's current beer drinkers were ever born!

Pre-Bed Snack: A chunk or two of dark chocolate and cold water (I reached my C₂H₅OH limit for today at dinner...)

16 August 2013

_____Breakfast:  McDonalds breakfast sandwich and coffee
