Vandalism

Why vandalism? I went to get in my 1997 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck to go to the grocery store to buy some eggs that were on sale for 99cents/dozen and saw a large 6 inch diameter rock laying next to my driver's side front wheel and thought that was odd as I picked it up and put it to the side of my driveway. Then I noticed the rock had been used to smash in the center front of my windshield glass shattering it but not penetrating to the interior. 

So ...... police report, called windshied mobile glass repair, talked on phone with some friends about the incident, and was wondering if for some reason I had severely angered someone. The policewoman who responded to the incident simply said she thought it a random act of vandalism, and I am hoping there won't be a repeat (perhaps I do need to get my security web cams up and operational sooner instead of later).

Crime and resulting criminal damages are conscious acts, bad choices in life injuring both self and others and the community economics and eventually the entire environment and all in it. No one is untouched by the bad choices criminals make in their lives. No one. The one who ultimately suffers the most is the criminal who so wastes his soul and life. There is no such things as a victimless crime! Justice prevails.

The Good Example

The Good Example


Don’t tell me what I don’t want to hear

Don’t remind me of what I don’t want to recall

Don’t show me what I dreadfully fear

For if you do that, it makes me feel very small

So set a good example, I’ll learn from you all.

My Haiku To Share

These Haiku for you
Just to share beauty of verse
 In five, seven, five.

On the sandy beach
Sculpted beautiful seashells
Ocean's gifts of art.
.....
Truth like art is in
The eyes of the beholder,
Science studies it.

There is too much negative
In the world today!

The High Cost of Sanity in America

I am not sure about writing about this..... the high cost of sanity in America today. I just learned that by changing my prescription from Zyprexa 2.5 mg (provided by Lilly pharmaceutical) to Abilify 2mg (provided by Bristol-Myers Squibb), without insurance it is $8,000 a year!!!  Abilify charges the same for a 2mg dose as the price for aa 5mg dose so I had my Dr. prescribe 5mg and 90 pillsa, and I intend to buy a pill cutter to cut the pill in half for my daily medicine and my prescription would last 6 months giving me the 2.5 mg daily. Insurance plans for those lucky to have insurance pay some of the cost, but still the cost of medication is extremely high and that is the problem with maintaining sanity while losing your pocketbook needed for basic necessities. When attempting to fill my prescription for the 90 pills 5mg of Abilify with intent to get 6 months by cutting the 5 mg in half, Prescription solutions refused to do that and would only give 45 bills and then charge me an additional $275 copay the next time I ordered the remaining 45 pills.  They explained that the United Health Care would only pay for 90 days at prescribed dosage indicated by Dr. and that 45 pills cut in half is 90 days of medicine. 

Because of the extreme extra out of pocket cost to me to change to Abilify, I am staying with the almost 1/2 the cost Zyprexa medication and there is a lower cost (reasonable) than their 5 mg unlike Abilify manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb. 

Why isn't America developing more cost affordable and safe with less lethal side affects medicines for its people with mental health conditions needing medications.????
