3 long days
Now working 2 full time jobs neither one my career choice that i went to school for have no health insurance because I dont have a child. When down to DES and filled out paper work of this program "freedom to work" and was also denied health insurance with them finally convenced my self to file for disability and was denied again.
Continued to work full time do to payments that were not med while i was in jail. Broke up with a good guy but a bad boyfriend of 3 years. Moved to save rent and no be around a crazy alcoholic landlord that would constantly make sexual gesters to my roommate.
Living with my new boyfriend and called off work because I was not feeling well RA Flared up. They told me To come in and work today or im fired. Took 1hr and 48 min to get into my work uniforme work 4hr come home and slept in pain. woke up and stared stretching and getting ready for work again.
I didnt even last 10min til I was sent to the ER.
They did the same thing the always do, inject me with a high HIGH dose of Tylenol and sent me home with an antiinflammatory. 3 a day with food. Same old same.
But this time. after giving my bosses my medical note I read this on face book. I make me feel better that everyday regular people are trying to make this country strong again. Not just me fighting for health insurance for all Americans. But also trying to fight to keep american money flowing :)

Everywhere in the United States of America Public Even -By Marceau de Valcourt
As the holidays approach, the giant foreign factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -- merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is!
It's time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper? Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?
Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.
Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.
Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking down the Benjamins on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.
There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn't about big national chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.
How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?
Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day, or a month, or the year!
My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.
OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes, framed artwork and sculpture.
Plan your holiday outings at local, owner-operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre.
Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.
Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of lights, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, use it to "light up" the faces of your mailman, trash guy or babysitter by giving them a nice BIG tip.
You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that foreign factories can build another glittering yet empty city for "show". Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't imagine.
THIS should be the new American Christmas tradition. Forward this to everyone on your mailing list -- post it to discussion groups -- throw a post on Craigslist in the Rants and Raves section in your city -- send it to the editor of your local paper and radio stations, and TV news departments. This is a revolution of caring about each other, and isn't that what Christmas is about? Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas to all!
