**YESTERDAY. Published 2 collections of Tweets, 1 collection of Quotes, etc. and
a blog about my Mother's almost arranged marriage.
I later drove Orrville to Bell Stores Marathon to buy a cappuccino, to PNC Bank to
finalize the rollover of my IRAs and to Buehler's Fresh Foods for some grocery
items.
After returning to the house, I went outdoors to place American flags out front
for the November 11 Veteran's Day, placing a new 1 on the northeast border
pole.
I then sprayed gas on the dried plants and weeds in the fire pit, most of them
burned except for the 2 ends of the long sunflowers, so I'll take care of that later
depending on the weather. I filled all the bird feeders and when cold grass had
become to cold for my bare feet, I decided to return indoors and take a warm
shower. I have at least 2 videos of me taking a shower on YouTube, with my
shorts on, of course. I don't dry off like normal people as you can see from the
videos.
I almost forgot to send Christmas cards to Jacob Thompson who is in Barbara
Bush's Children's Hospital in Portland, Maine who will die in less than a month's
time and wishes for Christmas cards in the mail. We're mailing 3 Christmas cards
out today. If you forgot and still want to send a Christmas card the address is as
follows:
Jacob Thompson
22 Bramhall Street
Room 653
Portland, Maine 04102
**TODAY. Nothing on the schedule until November 13 when I have a
dermatology appointment with Dr. Shane Clark and the surgery on my right eye
to remove a cataract, implant a stent and a lens on November 15 at the Wooster
Eye Surgery Center with Dr. Steiner operating. I'll have to call to get the precise
time.
QUOTE FOR THIS POST
"If I had lived 2 hundred years ago, eating non-processed food and plenty of
exercise from walking with no prescription medications, I would have lived
longer than I will today."

I HAVE SOMETHING ON MY MIND
**I'm upset and aggravated at my fellow Ohioans. They decided 2 days ago on
election day to vote yes for Issue 2 which allows drug companies to raise prices
on their manufactured prescription medications. So now with us paying very
little because I have Tricare for Life and Anthem, there'll be no end to the cost
of these prescription drugs, I needing to dig deeper into my already shallow
pockets.
I received a flyer in the mail about a week or so before election day, reading:
"Ohio voters were confused and voted no on Issue 2 by 80% allowing drug
companies to raise prices on prescription medications.
"Craig Landau runs Purdue Pharma, the maker of Oxycontin, the drug linked to
the overdose deaths of thousands of Ohioans."
And:
Ohio Ballot Issue 2: Cap State Agency Drug Costs.
By Matthew Bloch and Jasmine Lee, November 8, 2017, 2:07 PM ET.
"Voters in Ohio decided not to approve an initiative on Tuesday that was aimed
at reducing the cost of prescription drugs in the state. The measure would have
capped the price of prescription drugs purchased by the state government,
including Medicaid.
The measure drew strong resistance from drug makers, which spent more than
$49 million to try to kill it, and the industry is not accustomed to losing political
fights. Last year, it successfully killed a measure in California that was similar to
the one in Ohio, but only after spending more than $100 million to do so.
votes percentage
Yes: 474,741 20.7%
No: 1,816,074 79.3%"
I was 1 of the 474,741 voters who voted yes to place caps on prescription
medication costs. I believe that younger people who take none or few
medications were not as concerned as us older folks and finger-tipped the no
vote which is normal for voting against an issue. But I'm not blaming it all on
younger people. With age some of our brains are a bit addled, voting no when
we should have voted yes, but I'm not included because I voted yes.
You know what I think, and I've said before, when deciding on something of
importance? Setup a 3 judge panel of highly respected common sense people
and let them decide the issue. Their decision would be fair to the people
compared to the majority who cannot make a fair decision that benefits
themselves.
If General Lee and General Grant would have sit down over a shot of whiskey
and talked and settled the Civil War with a compromise, 620,000 soldiers and
others would not have lost their lives buried mostly east of the Mississippi in
long forgotten grave yards/plots.
