One more day, one more doctor visit

Wow, how the days have flown. It has been quite some time since my family has been away from the doctor's offices long enough for the employees not to recognize us. Multiple visits for us in the past two months.

Today, my darling daughter went to see the doctor. One more of us on antibiotics. That makes three of us on medicine to try to get over this sinus/cough stuff that has been plaguing us for some weeks.

I am so glad for health insurance that we were able to choose which one we wanted. I would love to pay nothing, but that is not how the world should work.

Work , hmmmm, ah that long ago learned concept from my younger years. What does it mean anymore? It means to me that anything I get for free doesn't mean as much. Pretty much anything works that way. Friendship even - one may think that friendship is free, but if we don't work at it, then the other person is not inclined to be our friend very long due to our snarky attitudes sometimes. Just like our relationships with our kids or spouse - work, work, work is all it takes. Anyone who has kids and is married knows that it isn't easy. We work on all of our relationships to make them good or better, if we don't they go bad to worse and then are gone.

We work at life in general. We do our best and we are rewarded. There is nothing (well maybe something) more funny to me than to see a sign that says "Free Rent". What is free about it? Nothing! You have to sign a lease for x number of months in order to get the first month "free". How is that free? I think that the only free things in life are the "free" samples at Costco or other stores. You take a sample and don't have to give anything back. Of course, with Costco you have to pay for a membership, but with some other stores there is no membership. They count on your taste buds dragging you over to the food case and you pulling a case of "sample" off the shelf and buying it. You only have to fight with your self-control for this. So it is up to you whether you get off free or not.

Well, hmmm - I guess that is it on the "free" speech for now. Just a few things to think about for the day or not. Who knows who is out there reading this - certainly not anyone who gets the internet for free. You must pay, pay, pay to read my blog. Hahahahaha!
