Ani, hate that for your mom.

I've never ever gone without insurance for those exact reasons. I know it is too late now but you can buy an interum insurance policy that only provides Major Medical.

The last time I purchased one it was $99 for 90 days and could be renewed up to 5 times. Deductable was around $2500.

Ani, how awful for your mother. I hope everything turns out ok.

Thanks for the well wishes sam, sunbabe and tpatricco!

Another Rave: My husband just called and told me to take Monday off because he's taking us all to the island of Saba for the day! Three day weekend PLUS a day trip with the family....woo hoo!

Rant: Ani, sometimes I'm right where you are! Ready to buy a ticket, pack my bag, and get the h-e-double hockey sticks out of this crazy country! But, every country has it's foibles, I guess. So sorry about your mom. I've always felt that it's easier to go through hard times myself than watch someone I love go through them.

Rave: It's the weekend! A weekend full of fun bbq's and family!!

Rave: Home projects are over for the moment & the bank account is beginning to go in the right direction for once! Probably won't last long, but I'll enjoy it while it is!

Happy anniversary Statia! Congrats!

Hi all,

Rant: sam, so sorry to hear about the missed trip with your son, I can relate. Mom and I were supposed to go to New York in May, but in April during her trip to Italy, she developed a very bad blood clot in her leg. She was kept in an Italian hospital for a month, not able to fly home. You can imagine what this was like, she does not speak a word of Italian.

Rave: She is home safely and on the mend (blood tests weekly now). Good Luck to you and your son!

Hi, you don't know me but I am going to spend my first whole weekend at my new home in Palm Desert in California. It is as hot as Hades here, was this a good idea?

Rave: Happy anniversary, Statia.
Rave: Statia's DH is taking us all to Saba!

Confused: Budman bottling wine? Figured Budman was a BEER fan, distributor, ... ? Maybe he is a florist?

Hello to all!

Rave: Two of my girlfriends and are I going on a long-anticipated shopping expedition tomorrow. What fun!
