It still exists although the present administration has weakened it by eliminating mandatory payments into the system and reduced incentives for the insurance companies to lower costs to the consumer. The administration has been unsuccessful in stopping ACA on Constitutional grounds so it's chipping away at it by reducing funding and making insurance harder to get. The net result of all the hard work by the administration and the Republicans has been a rise in uninsured Americans since 2016. The reality is that universal healthcare will remain a distant dream until our government gets rid of the "public servants" that value money over people. === So all the good Obama did is going down the tubes:(((( |

The only imported avocados are the Hass, which are ridiculously small compared to the ones grown in backyards. The imported mangos are also small, ugly, and stringy. It gives me chills just thinking about it. My step-moms sister had a papaya farm and they would give us giant papaya. Boy, those were tasty.

Of course, our tomatoes aren't very good so there's that... I was told that stringy mangoes were old school mangoes and had been or were being replaced with stringless ones. Our mango trees produce low-string mangoes or so it seems. But only if the weather's been favourable. They need a dry spring. |

I've only had cauliflower raw in salads. Pretty nasty, imo. For that reason, I've never bought any to cook in some other way. |

Kids on a school field trip used to sing that on the bus. Highly annoying. I would have happily shot everyone on the bus except the bus driver. Then tell him to stop the bus and let me out.

Juror is a serious > responsibility and I would do my best to be fair and only convict on > hard evidence. i am in the mood to write this down so skip if you don't want a wind-bag of story... :) my experience so far with jury duty was that i was glad to not be chosen for a "he-said"/"she-said" domestic violence case, but since i wasn't chosen i didn't stay to hear the finer details. i was next in line though if someone else had gotten out of it i'd have been possibly chosen - but i think i would have had to admit i had a negative opinion of the guy from the start... from the beginning the guy was going to defend himself (and was doing a real poor job of it in the jury selection part) and i doubt he won just based upon how bad that went. most of the other jurors in the groups that day were called for a murder trial. i was very glad to not be in that. i just don't like to see that sort of stuff at all. it was a very stress-filled day for me because while i was a bit early in setting out to get to the court-house i was half-way there and realized i didn't have my wallet and figured they would check id's so i had to scramble to get back here and then back to the court-house on time. the roads weren't great, it was the middle of winter and there had been a storm. i was glad nobody else was on the road. i'm a very good driver and have a lot of experience driving in poor conditions, but i was pressing the edge more than i liked that morning. i did get back only a few minutes late and nobody was checking the time at the door so i signed in and all was ok. in the court-room for the trial i would have been selected for the judge was not happy at all when he called off the names of people who should have been there who were not there. i'm not sure if he did any follow-up fines or warrants for those who didn't show up. some people showed up, signed their names and then left. i had a book to read. i try to always travel with a book to read for any appt or gathering or just because i like to read and hate waiting for anything with nothing to read. the other part of the stress filled day was that the automatic phone system was not working properly and the on-line system did not always match what the phone system said so i wasn't sure which one mattered more. in filling out the on-line stuff that i did i made a mistake and didn't notice it and there was no way to correct that without calling the court-house. i talked to a clerk who said they changed what they needed to change, but then a few days later i get a note in the mail saying i was denied my request for an absense but that wasn't what i intended at all and the phone call was to correct that error on my part. so i really had little faith in the system by the time i got to the court-house and then went through the rest of it. i was paid $12.45 or so for the duty. i'd have done it for free as a citizen, but really i thought it was rather messy and they needed to fix their system - they had a lot of phone recordings that they had to update each day and by certain times. being some distance away from the court-house here out in the sticks and during the winter there was some moments where i doubted i would have been on-time if they had called my group in since they didn't update the phone messages very promptly. having been through the whole process once now it won't be so odd if i get called again - i sure hope they fixed the issues... songbird ==== Good luck and thanks for sharing |

Because "duty". I can probably be called for jury duty in Australia. I'd do everything I can to get out of it. ===== Many years ago I was called for jury service here. I can't remember what the case was. When we were in and lad in the dock was really arrogant. Not sure why but the case was stopped and we were all able to leave. Apparently there has to be a certain amount of time before a person can be called again. But I've never heard anything since!! |

We was waiting around and a guy came out and told us the defendant had made a plea deal and we could go. This is where a the defendant pleads guilty or no-contest and waives a trial. This saves the system and everybody involved time and money. The judge is so happy about it that he's willing to give a lighter sentence. American justice loves to save time and money! Who the heck doesn't? |

My husband took the training to get a concealed-carry permit in Michigan. The training covered home invasion. You can shoot only if you feel you are in personal danger of injury or death. Before shooting you should (or must--I can't recall) say, "I have a gun. Get out of my house." If they still come at you after that, you may shoot. Cindy Hamilton === Quite so, but what if they are running away? |
