Even though I've never been offered "a penny for my thoughts"...
here they are anyway

Docs On School Property It appears a bunch of people in the Easton Area are upset with Easton Hospital's plan to house a clinic in one of their schools next year. It's seems to me with the elimination of school nurses because of the costs, I'd think they'd be onboard. The hospital plans include numerous rotating specialists enclosed in a separate entrance area. And it won't cost taxpayers one thin dime. I'll admit I'm as NIMBY as the next person, but objections to this is NIMBYISM carried to extreme.
Critics Germaphobes are citing concerns over the spreading of germs into the school from the clinic Here's my thoughts on that. My daughter, along with hundreds of other mothers & fathers in the medical field work in area hospitals and medical buildings. If they all thought like you guys...
Jesus.. The Meaning Of Easter, Forgiveness.. Not For this Lady Another story that took wings is the Bethlehem chocolate shop owner who didn't choose wisely her response on social media to a customer's very public complaint. There's a couple of thoughts here. I think it's a really bad idea for any business to use Facebook. Over the last several months several businesses made this same fatal mistake. In those instances were threatened and driven out of business in other areas of this country. Why oh why wouldn't a business take advantage of several providers' free offerings for websites where comments would have to be preapproved is beyond me.
The store owner's complaint was why she shouldn't be allowed to defend herself when people bad mouthed her business. Well she was allowed. She just did a lousy job of it. Then there's the person herself who first complained. Both exhibited knee-jerk reactions Such is the nature of social media Hence why Facebook is a lousy choice. Just as easily as Facebook can build your business it can take it out in a flash. Poor choices all the way around.
The Latest On Obamacare Yeah it still hasn't been voted out. So how's it going? Not too bad really. According to the AP, "an official study released Thursday... the measure more than pays for itself."
The study was put out by the Congressional Budget Office. In part it says, "Compared with the projection made by CBO and JCT in March 2010, just before the ACA was enacted, the current estimate of the net cost of the insurance coverage provisions over the 2016–2019 period (the final years of the 10-year budget window used in the original report) is lower by $157 billion, or 25 percent."
Some will always hate Obamacare. Some will always like it. While arguments remain being either for or against, this new information should eliminate those which are based on the financing of it.
How We Can Fix The Refuge Crisis I'm certain nearly 100% won't bother watching the following eighteen minute video where Alexander Betts offers four solutions. So let me give you a few of the highlights.
Hat Tip To Police In The Lehigh Valley We all bellyache about drugs and shootings. One thing I've noticed over the last few months is most of these perpetrators were caught in less then 48 hours. The latest shooting in South Allentown was solved and the shooter(s) caught in less then 24 hours. There's been numerous successful drug raids as well.
I'm not certain if it's because citizens are getting involved more then they have in the past. Whether police are getting better at it or there's so much more crime creating these greater number of arrests. One thing is for certain, the time between a crime being reported and the apprehensions for them has gotten shorter. This is a hopeful sign.
