    Health Insurance Rates

    Some plans (for high rollers) cover fertility treatments. Really! No. Just no. I was astounded when I read that. My son had no insurance for 9 years. He earned about 5 dollars too much annually to qualify for Medicaid. He could afford to go to urgent care every couple of years when he got...

    Mineral Springs Resorts in the pines

    I have to read that book. I once spent a little time trying to figure out where the Colestown resort and spring were. I know that's gone, but I wonder if a couple of people in the area have a wet basement and have no idea why.

    I never realized the buildings were so close together.

    First time campers?

    Strep was seriously going around recently. The first time we camped as a family, we went to Atsion. It was so hot, half the campsites were empty. The lake beach was packed, so we went to the Pic for a couple of hours to cool off.

    The first two places I went were Batsto and Smithville--the one by Leeds Point.

    Bevan Destroys Baileytown

    Where does the officer with the breathalyzer park? Sorry. Late to the party. I haven't been to Bailytown in years.

    Odd Stories

    I can't imagine why they'd go there, especially with Fort Dix in the area.

    Has Barnegat gone down hill?

    That makes sense, especially now that Toms River is 'heroin central'. I know that there are some nice neighborhoods, but I guess they can seem a little tarnished when you wouldn't be surprised by a car break-in. Bunch of years ago, I read an article about a couple whose car window was smashed...

    Has Barnegat gone down hill?

    Oh, noooo. That's not going to be good. About 10 years ago, I went to Georgian Court to tour the arboretum. Almost there, two guys launched from between cars in the middle of the block. They began to cross the road without looking for traffic. I was driving slowly, maybe 22 mph, and I almost hit...

    Has Barnegat gone down hill?

    On another board, a woman's comment about the town surprised me. She said,"I read that a lot of ppl on section 8 from ny moved there and their teenage kids cause trouble and start fires in the woods". Has there been a mass exodus of long-time residents whose homes were snatched up by slumlords...

    Why living around nature could make you live longer

    I'm not sure how long I'd be around if I had to live in a concrete jungle. I'd probably be watering the dandelions growing through the cracks in the pavement.

    I like fall. January and February? Not so much.

    R.I.P.

    I have a hybrid VCR/DVD player. I got rid of the tapes about five years ago. I check them all and they played, so I donated them.

    Music for the day

    Sorry guys. It's June, and I not only don't have a paddle, I don't even have a canoe.

    Music for the day

    Arlington puts on quite a show for the guys and their families. My husband's there. I was really, really happy that my son got to experience that. He knew what his dad did for a living , but it really hits home when someone hands you that flag.

    Those Brits are smart folks

    I'm glad we finally realize that. Mommy, mummy, was British. When I was a kid, there was a picture of Winston hanging on the living room wall. The Queen was on the other wall. Monty was on the side table. Don't get me started about Montgomery.

    Drought conditions

    It's certainly cloudy and I just heard thunder. I hope we get enough rain to make a difference. The last time I hoped for a good thunderstorm, my power was out for four days. Just some rain will do.
