And because you've been so involved in the MMA over the years, everything I read in your comment I thought MA = Martial Arts at first and then when it wasn't making sense about insurance, I realized you were talking about Massachusetts.

Yesterday I attended an all-day conference about Suicidality & Substance abutse in the the LGBTQ community; a lot of the speakers focused on kids and adolescents, in particular. All of them noted that living in the "safe haven," per se, of MA, as we do, we are often unaware and surprised to find out how different and lacking things are in other parts of the country -- on a related but different issue, friends of mine who had a baby born w/a congenital heart defect in April just posted yesterday that the baby had a successful first surgery and how thankful they were that so much is required of health insurance companies in MA -- they realize that if they lived in a lot of other states, they would have been on their own for so much of the cost of not only the procedure but the hospitalization and ancillary services that insurers are mandated to pay for here. I will be forever proud that MA was first in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage and I talk to my daughters frequently about the importance of living in a place where they know they will always have access to health care, birth control, safe and legal abortion; where religion has no place in schools or businesses and where human and civil rights are protected.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949876371473945014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589621811781423946.post-23846919457092497952017-06-10T11:24:08.131-04:002017-06-10T11:24:08.131-04:00I read her comments from Facebook. :-) I read her comments from Facebook. :-) Garrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995228204165767887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589621811781423946.post-68459866719671692532017-06-10T10:47:07.870-04:002017-06-10T10:47:07.870-04:00I hope you said hi to mom for me.I hope you said hi to mom for me.Jodie Lazarekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531326084034265358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589621811781423946.post-40180543400978958802017-05-31T10:44:41.427-04:002017-05-31T10:44:41.427-04:00We needed the break though.

It sounds like your dive place was totally to blame. I can tell you that a wetsuit should be snug but what he was trying to put you both in was waaaay to tight. If mine is even a little to tight it restricts my breathing and makes me panic before I even get in the water. If the water is warm enough, I don't even wear one. Why didn't they offer to at least let you snorkel when you decided not to dive? Very sad. You might want to think about taking a full dive class and then go with the right gear. You would love it.Jodie Lazarekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531326084034265358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589621811781423946.post-18903008365030190392017-05-22T08:31:06.546-04:002017-05-22T08:31:06.546-04:00Love all the pictures and the interesting blurbs a...Love all the pictures and the interesting blurbs about the USS Arizona and the Mongooses.Jodie Lazarekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531326084034265358noreply@blogger.com
