Try to find a doc that takes it. It isn't always easy. They pay docs below the going rate and it's a billing nightmare. Medicare advantage is a good system but 0bama care has many of those in jeopardy.

Without having all the details it's hard to say what is best. If the kid has 4 classes and is participating in everything from glee club to wrestling and track then yeah, some extracurricular stuff needs to go away. As far as dropping classes it sounds like the parents made the call. Without...

Quote: Originally Posted by AggieAlum "left wingers" don't want to ban every gun known to man. They do take the logical course when it comes to the ownership of specific types of firearms. These gun nuts that go out and spend thousands of dollars on AK-47's, AR-15's and such say they do it...

Couldn't get a status of forces agreement with iraq Same issue appears to be happening in Afghanistan and Karzai who has done every thing in his power to make 0bama look bad Syria debacle It has fairly or not made 0bama look weak despite him butching it up with the drones. Putin is a nut...

Bang hit the nail on the head. Interesting factoid. Way back in 2008 a politician predicted that if 0bama got elected and implemented the foreign policy he was proposing that Russia would end up invading the Ukraine. Anyone remember who it was who took all the crap for the "crazy prediction"?

Now see, having about 37 years of post high school life experience I would have encouraged you to drop the class you have down cold and perfected the Chinese. What do you think there are more of in this country, algebra majors or people fluent in Chinese :)

And if government ONLY issued civil union contracts we'd avoid all the hassles. If someone who is gay asked my opinion of their lifestyle I'd tell em "whatever floats your boat". If they asked if I thought it was a sin I'd have to say "according to what I've read in the bible, I think so but you...

A law that says says only a man and a woman can marry or same sex couples may marry. The government doesn't get a say under the constitution. Marriage is a religious institution that existed long before this country was founded. For the sake of being practical it made sense for the government to...

Yep. You bust your arse now and in college it will pay off the rest of your life. Thing is think long term but don't trap yourself into a particular field of study. You are young and will likely change your mind several times between now and college as far as what you want to do when you grow up :)

Just what we need. Health insurance that runs as slick as Amtrack. That would be a health insurance monopoly

The government should only be involved in civil union contracts. Trying to create a marriage law violates the first amendment and always has. Congress shall make no law either for or against religion.

I would have dropped algebra and kept Chinese LOL! Sounds like you need to decide which is more important at this point, scholastics or extracurricular activities.

Shouldn't it be up to the individual to decide whether or not they want to have the ability to defend themselves? Nobody wants to force anyone to own a gun but left wingers want to ban them or make it nearly impossible to buy one.
