This is a rant.  Most definitely a rant.

I have had it with my insurance company.  Things are seriously messed up in this country when it comes to healthcare and insurance.

The US Census Burea reported 15.8% of the population uninsured in 2008. That number is on the rise.This number does not include the people who are under insured.

Even those of us who have insurance have to fight to get the coverage that we are due. The coverage we are paying increasing more for.

Something has to be done.

This weeks show is a long and rambling one.

I start with an explanation as to why I shared the personal details in the last show.   This is a topic that Jimmy Carter recently addressed in an option in this article.  He is much more elegant than I could dream of being.  Please, take a moment to read.

I also apologize for missing last week.  My weekend seemed to be total derailed and I just lost the time.

This week’s show I talk about being tested for learning disabilities.  It is a bit of a reminiscence of past and this week’s experiences.

I would love to know what you think.  Your comments help keep me going.

Warning: this show is contains adult content.

The Fourth of July has me thinking about the freedoms this country was founded on.  Freedom of Religion is a basic right.  It is a freedom that many think only applies to those who believe.

Non-theist have the right to not believe just as much as the believer has the right to believe.

Non-theist should not be persecuted for their believes.

They should not be fired for their believes.

What do you think?

I start the show with some sad news.  The turtle (KnitWit:159) didn’t make it.  He died last week.  They tried their best but in the end his injuries were too extensive.

This week is a knitting espisode in which we continue talking about color techniques.

Intarsia is a method of color knitting in which only one yarn is used at a time.

There are three things you have to be able to do to inorder to do intarsia knitting.

1. Read charts.

2. Untangle yarn

3. Lock your yarns in place.

There is a contraversy concerning intarsia in the round.  It can be done.  I learned how from this book:

Knitting Tips & Trade Secrets. It is a great book with all kinds of wonderful information.

I am still working on my super, secret project.  There is time to help if you can spare some time and yarn.  Contact me and I will fill you in on the details.

I am starting on a super, secret project.  There is a person, I think needs a fiber hug.  If you would like to help, let me know and I will fill you in on the details.

This week I rant a little about projects and project deadlines.  It seems that the people who set the deadlines rarely know what is involved with completing the projects.

Have you ever had these kinds of problems?

People talk to me.  They tell me their secrets, hopes, and fears.  They share their worries and problems.  I don’t know why.

I thought it was normal.  I guess not.

What do you think?  Do people talk to you?
