Dear Dog,
I am eating rice cakes. Trust me when I tell you you do not want any.

I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Because books.
I'm going to say something wrong. I know it.
Just a little gaffe can't hurt, right? A tiny one? No?
Everyone is drunk?! I don't have tomorrow off. Hmph.
What is the ACA, Zen?

Aw, the glider is going off to another good place! I remember cuddling a wee Noah in that chair. And reading to him & Grace in it too.
Pumpkin will eat popcorn and pirate booty and I suspect she'd eat the ricecakes too.

I have tomorrow off, thank goodness. Some of our offices also have Monday off, due to cultural expectations, but I'm just happy to have the 3-day weekend. I'm gonna celebrate by helping a friend move a sofa. Well, that and probably pancakes or something--said friend's springing for brunch.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Amy, ACA is Affordable Care Act - Obamacare.

Ah. I have no idea, sorry.

Zen,
you might want to search for info about ACA benefits in the particular state. That might be easier and more appropriate info.

I've got Loki and Pumpkin curled up with me. It's nice. But it's cause Devi is in the radiator cabinet because that's what she does at night now. Still hanging in there, but....

Thanks, le n. I'm getting a lot of pages that tell me how great Obamacare will be, but I can't find any specific information. This line in an infographic concerns me:
"To be eligible for Premium Tax Credits, individuals must not be covered under Medicaid, Medicare, or the military, and must not have access to health care through their employers."
My BFF works for a grocery chain. She makes less than $12,000 a year. Her employer does offer health insurance, but the cost is prohibitive; it would cost half her measly paycheck to buy the minimum coverage offered, and she can't afford to do that. So she's uninsured. I'm afraid that she wouldn't be eligible for these tax credits because her employer offers insurance.
I'm also unable to explain, or understand, how these tax credits work. She thinks it's just going to be a forced expense that she'll get a tax rebate on, and she doesn't want another expense regardless.
She thinks Obamacare will cost her money and provide her nothing she needs. I'm trying to prove her wrong and I can't find any specific information to do so.
