Re: [QUAD-L] Appreciate your response Lori
You're a great person for this forum, though, Ron. :o) In my haste I hope you figured out my error in my one email that IMPLIED in one paragraph that I was on Oxycontin 50mgs.

The joyous spirit of the moment carries her to heights of perseverance. Illuminating splendor she can capture only through serene calmness. She sits with beauty in her special chair on the fresh-cut green grass, Reading a book of love and romance that strengthens her spirit to soar high. As the warm, quiet breeze softly blows her hair aside and revealing her ears, Whispering a melody of music in her ears, securing her sanctuary indefinitely. She sits with beauty and sense of self that remains innocent, pure, and unbroken. Resting her worries, eluding all thoughts to unburden her disposition, to escape away, To a secret place so fragile and untainted, cherished possession of mind and spirit. Where a dream, a hope, an idea, a passion for love can survive all circumstances. She sits with beauty as the warm sun fades into the fresh yellow moon. Rendering to the nightfall, she coerces herself to enter the place she claims as home. Lying upon fresh, soft sheets and relaxing her head against the feathery pillow, Respectfully waiting a new dawn with a peaceful smile, she drifts off to sleep.

[QUAD-L] Fwd: Medicaid the Budget: The Next Phase
FYI This will help you write letters about the cuts, and if you join keep you informed.. Dana ---BeginMessage--- Title: Medicaid & the Budget: The Next Phase Dear Dana, After a long and heated debated, the House approveda budget reconciliation bill early this morning with deep cuts to Medicaid and other important social programs. The final vote was extremely close: 217-215. No Democrats voted for the bill, but 14 Republicans voted against it. Click here to see how your Representative voted. You can also thank your Representative (or scold them, depending on their vote) by sending an e-mail through our Web site. While we are disappointed at the outcome, we are pleased that so many moderate Republicans felt compelled to vote against this budget. It was largely due to your calls and e-mailsalong with thousands from activists across the countrythat made this such a difficult vote for the House leadership. We're deeply grateful for all your hard work. Now the process moves to the Conference Committee, where negotiators from the House and Senate will try to find a compromise between the two versions of the budget and send it to both houses for up-or-down votes. Because of the close votes (the Senate passed its version by 52-47) and the significant differences between the bills on Medicaid and other issues, we believe we have an opportunity to prevail in this phase of the Medicaid fight. Our best chance lies once again in the Senate. We need you to call your Senators and urge them to vote NO on any budget that hurts Medicaid recipients.
