Tic Tac Toe

I lost twice to my niece last night at Outback. She told my mom, U. Joe lost on purpose. I did not. My mind is slipping... and I'm scared.It has been 26 months since things started slipping... but never my puzzle sharpness, problem solving. Until now.

"The profoundest instinct in man is to war against the truth; that is, against the Real. He shuns facts from his infancy. His life is a perpetual evasion. Miracle, chimera and to-morrow keep him alive. He lives on fiction and myth. It is the Lie that makes him free.

Man, awake, is compelled to seek a perpetual escape into Hope, Belief, Fable, Art, God, Socialism, Immortality, Alcohol, Love. From Medusa-Truth he makes an appeal to Maya-Lie."
—Jack London, The Mutiny of the Elsinore

Age of Innocence, Wharton

"His whole future seemed suddenly to be unrolled before him; and passing down its endless emptiness he saw the dwindling figure of a man to whom nothing was ever to happen."

Social Security Payments and the Republican Tea Party

Why do the republicans think that it is OK to say that missing SS payments in August is OK?

“I came to Washington for a reason – to cut spending so that future generations are not saddled with debt,” says freshman Chip Cravaak(R)of Minnesota. “It’s up to the president and Secretary Geithner to decide what bills get paid.”

What? Remember 2000 election, and all the lampooning of the SS "Lock Box?"

I am a fan of Ayn Rand, well, at least of the Objectvist Philosophy. But so are many conservatives, and particularly, many tea party adherents, like Paul Ryan. Ryan's budget would eliminate Medicare, and replace it with a voucher program (what is it with the republican party and vouchers?) that, according to most things I have read, would only pay 30-40% of private coverage. And once Medicare is dismantled, then they will go after Social Security.

Rand her self was a medicare and social security beneficiary. Why?

Because in 1974 she contracted lung cancer (age, 69) and was told that the tx would cost more than her books brought in, she took both Medicare and Social Security, collecting just over 11K in SS Benefits.

Short of death, I am seeking to be numb...

NO matter what I am bored, and I cannot escape this. I have been crying now for 3 weeks. I have been lying in bed 14-18 hours a day for about 5 weeks. Not sleeping, although I have achieve a span of 8 hours or more at least 5 times in the last five weeks.

I will run out of medicine in two weeks (Seroquel/Depakote/Klonopin). I had to skip my doc appt as I was leaving town. That should be very interesting...

is this moon making me crazy? I guess I am learning that I am going to have to make arrangements going forward. 5 is one too many to deal with.
