Health Care Reform future expenses

With The Health Care Reform being passed, dads are seeking ways to create secondary incomes to secure their financial future.  The American people didn't want it because even though it sounds like a good idea to give people health insurance who did not have it, it's the American people who will have to front the money.

These last few days have been pretty stressful for people watching this bill.  The main concern is income.  Taxes will be raised, premiums will be raised, co-pays will be raised, and anyone who needs or will need medical treatment will suffer financial losses. 

  Smart Dads are now scurrying to find ways to build a second income to help pay for rising costs in America and are also looking for ways to stay as healthy as possible.  The key to beating the system is ensuring your health stays well and your pocketbooks stay full for you will have much more out of pocket expenses.

Thousands and Thousands of people are seeking creative ways to survive this health care reform and many more people are just going to ride the wave until they need to deal with it.  Companies like GBG who offer a supplemental income and a health product are now becoming one of the fastest growing home business choices in the nation.

There are many ways to supplement your income, but please do not get a second job!  Dad, This will pay you minimum wages and take you away from your family.  Research to create second incomes with companies like GBG who have a simple system that could generate you residual supplemental income to cover any future expenses you may incur with future health care costs. 

When looking for an at home businesses to generate second incomes, look for a company that has a product that everyone needs, anyone can afford (preferably FREE Business and marketing tools), and a simple duplicate-able business system (you promote the product, the company incurs all the risk and back office stuff).   Wouldn't it be great to secure a residual income that you can pass on to your kids, and their kids, etc.   Create your legacy today and bypass the financial hardships many families may have with this health care reform bill.

The Storm Drain Miracle

A typical Saturday for Dad almost turned our life upside down.  Saturday is when I usually hang out with the kids.  I wanted to visit Pop Pop (Matt and Zach;s grandpa) so we drove out to his house in Montclair and parked on the street next to this typical grated storm drain.  We all had a great time at Pop pop's house talking, playing the Wii, Eating, and just really enjoying the family but the grandparents had to leave so it was time to take the kids to the local park.

We got to my car and I opened the door and told Zach to stay on the sidewalk.  I put Matthew in the car seat and then I heard Zach's voice say.... "Daddy, I can almost fit in here".    I looked over and he was sitting on the grate with his 2 feet dangling inside the storm drain opening. I ran over and grabbed him and cried as I know that if he fell, there was no way of getting him out. 

I hugged him so much and told him that we can't go near those drains....ever.  He was smart enough to check with me as he sometimes does before he does something. But what if he didn't.  That's the scary part.  God was with him and I thank God everyday for every single moment we have with our kids because we don't know when it may be our last.

I know sometimes, we as parents sound like broken records, always reminding our children what they should and shouldn't do. When is it enough?  Never.  It's our voices that they hear when they are about to do something.  It is our voice that makes them think about doing the right thing.

Words echo in our own heads from our parents that have kept us safe from the unknown.  We have to keep doing the right thing, communicating to our children daily, remind them how much we love them, and remember that when things get rough with your children, it would be much worse without them.

Please share with me at Dads Talk Radio by commenting or emailing me at emorysfall@aol.com....your experiences to help other parents think about dangers that should be more aware of.  I would like to present these in my next podcast next week.. You could help save a child's life.

God Bless you and remember to give your kids a big hug when you get home tonight!

Being A Mother

I heard this story of  BEING A MOTHER... And I thought it was important to share with our readers. Life goes by so quickly and we need to show how much we care for our mothers and understand how challenging and rewarding it can be.


........After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take
another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, 'I love you,
but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been alone for 20 years,but the demands of my work and my two boys had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong, aren't you well, she asked?


My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. 'I thought it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,' I responded... 'Just the two of us. She thought about it for a moment, and then said, I would like that very much.


That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at herhouse, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last birthday on November 19th. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. 'I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,' she said, as she got into that new white van. 'They can'twait to hear about our date'.

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. 'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return them favor,' I responded.


During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation- -nothing extraordinary but catching upon recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.As we arrived at her house later, she said, I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.


'How was your dinner date ?' asked my wife when I got home.  'Very nice. Much moreso than I could have imagined,'I  answered. A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her... Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said:
'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife.

You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.'
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I LOVE YOU and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the  time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till 'some other time.'


Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after
you've had a baby.....somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is  history.


Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct ...
somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.


Somebody said being a mother is boring ....somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.


Somebody said if you're a'good' mother, your child will 'turn out good'.... somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.


Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother....
somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math.


Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first ....somebody doesn't have two children.


Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery.... 
somebody never watched her 'baby' get on the bus for the first day of  kindergarten ...or on a plane headed for military 'boot camp.'


Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....
somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.


Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home....
somebody never had grandchildren.


Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her...
somebody isn't a mother.
