  • confrontationAssay: I'm always looking for patterns in people's actions and temperament. You know that old joke? "The world is divided into two groups: people who divide the world into two groups, and people who don't." I'm definitely in the first category.

    I love learning about patterns, such as the "service heart," and I get a tremendous thrill whenever I manage to identify some new pattern myself. Abstainers and moderators. Over-buyers and under-buyers. Alchemists and leopards.

    Here's a new phenomenon I've tentatively identified: oppositional conversational style.

    A person with oppositional conversational style is a person who, in conversation, disagrees with and corrects whatever you say. He or she may do this in a friendly way, or a belligerent way, but this person frames remarks in opposition to whatever you venture.

    I noticed this for the first time in a conversation with a guy a few months ago. We were talking about social media, and before long, I realized that whatever

  • July 4th, 2012 is my official 2 year anniversary in Panama.

    Unofficially, I celebrate July 1st.


    I moved here to help start up a new office in Panama City, Panama. I left behind my wonderful husband (Bigfoot) a wide array of friends (Girl Posse) and a simple life in Kernersvile, North Carolina. This was a temporary assignment, we were not prepared to move here full-time.
    Here is a list of thing that I have learned in 2 years about me. I was 39 when I moved down and feel like I have grown in many ways by taking this chance.

    Here are some random things I learned:

    1 - My Daddy and Mama did not raise a quitter. (Because believe you me I asked them and Bigfoot for the first 2 months if I could move back home)

    2 - You're never too old to start a new chapter in life.

    3 - The more open you are - the more you learn. Culture / Work / etc

    4 - Technology made this assignment easier for me. Facebook and Skype have kept me connected.

    5 - Common sense

  • If you have a vision then you need a plan and if your aim is to get past the PCAT test then your plan needs to include the right tools for task including the most important - the PCAT software.

Not only is it necessary to make it to the pass list, it is essential to do so with good scores so you get to choose a pharmacy college of your choice.

    Preparation for PCAT - The PCAT Prep!

    Tampons have served us well over the years, the decades, haven't they ladies? There's no questioning the convenience, the ease of use. I had a major breakthrough at 14 when I finally got up the guts to use one--I had to, since the next day I'd be performing a liturgical dance at my high school wearing nothing but a purple leotard. I was so elated I wrote in my journal that day in huge caps across an entire page, "I did it!"

    Yes, I was a huge fucking nerd. Moving on. Point is, I felt I'd become a woman on some level. And in a very basic way, I had, since until then let's say it was an as-yet unused corridor. (Don't laugh--plenty of girls thought if they used one they wouldn't be considered a virgin anymore. I didn't agree that counted--nor did many other things, which allowed me to make flexible use of the term virgin for years to come.)

    To be free of maxi pads, no longer having to ride the cotton pony for days, no longer fearing that the head or tail was making itself known

    I am going to give my travel PT adventure a home base for everyone to read about what I'm doing if they want to because many people have asked me to. So here goes...Blog #1. First assignment is set. Northern VA (near Winchester). I will be doing Home Health and it sounds like my job will be very similar to what it is now. I'm staying relatively close on this first assignment incase I "forget anything" (anyone who knows me well should be LOL right now) or if early problems arise. Then it should be off "out West" from there. Thanks for following! Lucy

  • The United States of America has over 50 million people who do not possess health insurance. Escalating healthcare costs, families discontinuing health coverage to rein in costs, employees losing employer sponsored coverage, recession etc., have all contributed to the growing number of uninsured in America. President Obama's Affordable Care Act of 2010 had pledged to cover at least 32 million uninsured Americans through the health insurance exchanges.

    The federal government has granted US states the autonomy to design their state exchanges as per the state exchange administrators deem fit. To maintain consistency in operational principles and ensure compliance with federal mandates, the US Department of CCIIO has released a an exchange blueprint document that provides states some common guidelines on how to approach and proceed with the exchange design approval and implementation programs.

    Beginning January 1, 2014, the state health insurance exchanges are scheduled to launch across
