Emeril Lagasse's in Town
Housewares Show 2010, McCormick Place.
Saw Emeril today at Camerons Products booth. I was surprised that he wasn't a headliner speaker.
Nice fellow.

C-SPAN Health Care Reform
http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/id/220915
Senator Roland Burris brings Health Care Reform to the Senator Floor, March 11, 2010.
He includes real people who are having a problem with their health insurance.
If you lose your job, you lose your health insurance, period. You have to find an insurance company that will take you on as a customer. Just because they welcome you into their company, it doesn't mean that you will be covered after you make a claim. They only bother to check your medical records AFTER you make a claim. If there is any indication of a pre-existing condition they will drop you flat. Pre-existing could mean ache, which they interpret as a precancerous skin lesion.
There are over 1,000 reasons for them to deny your claim.

Easy to Understand Health Care Reform
This is an easy to understand version of the Health Care Reform bill taken from:
3-10-10 Speech in St. Louis
President Obama On Health Care Reform Now
“What I've said is we don't need government or insurance bureaucrats controlling your health care. We're going to put you in control.
And we're going to do that in three simple ways:
Number one:
We're going to have the toughest insurance reforms in history.
A patient’s bill of rights
•You can't be denied coverage because of a preexisting condition.
•You can’t be dropped when you get sick.
Number two:
We're going to create a pool for you that will drive down your premiums so that you’ve got leverage, so that you can get a better deal.
Number three:
We're going to drive down costs.
The Congressional Budget Office basically decides on how many -- how much things cost. According to the Congressional Budget Office, our plan passes and folks right now who have to buy insurance in the individual market or small markets because they don't have a big employer that's looking out for them -- they will save 14 to 20 percent on a comparable plan to what they’re purchasing right now. That's money out of your pocket. That's money that right now is going out of your pocket that would go back in if this health care reform passed.”

Spring is in the Air
Now if you have a balcony, look at what you have out there. Anything interesting from last year?
Even if you think the plants are dead, they just might be sleeping.

Yes, it's true.
Yesterday, this black Bentley was directly in front of a not-for-profit thrift entrance. This particular store has it's own parking lot, so it wasn't someone going to another building.
I couldn't believe it!
I asked two of the store's workers whose car it was.
One of them said that it was probably the owner's car. ?????????
Can you believe it? Now people who drive Bentleys are at a thrift store.
