Please change the rule, it is only the right thing to do before this thing gets out of hand. Wearing a bowling glove...??? Same thing, totally absurd. Pete Weber...please remove your glove and don't be such a panzy.....step up to the plate and be a man, and the same goes for the kiddie, wimpy, two handed bowlers....GET A LIFE !!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444929631802239779.post-87420738488881912382010-03-20T09:54:40.221-07:002010-03-20T09:54:40.221-07:00Jim, the way I see it, we have a fundamental right...Jim, the way I see it, we have a fundamental right to accessible and affordable health care regardless of where or even whether we're employed and whether or not we have pre-existing conditions in just the same way that we have a fundamental right to be protected from enemy attack, crime, and fire and other disasters. And I don't see how this right can be enforced without the government taking a much more active role in it than it has. I personally support a single payer nationalized system--Medicare for all, if you will. But if we can't have that, at least not yet, I don't see a viable and even minimally effective alternative to the current bill.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549770321948541384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444929631802239779.post-59941530699387894092010-03-20T09:03:02.172-07:002010-03-20T09:03:02.172-07:00Having been a Libertarian for 35 years it is very ...Having been a Libertarian for 35 years it is very difficult to endorse national health care, but I now feel I must. No I don't like the plan in Congress now and would not vote for it, but something needs to be done. I know more and more people like Mark that are bankrupted by illness, even some who thought they had good health insurance. So many are afraid of the expense of going to the doctor at all that they ignore danger signs until it is too late.Jimhttp://www.facebook.com/?ref=homenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444929631802239779.post-69498586236544490992010-03-18T07:13:22.935-07:002010-03-18T07:13:22.935-07:00It seems almost miraculous that you rebounded as w...It seems almost miraculous that you rebounded as well as you did as quickly as you did. Furthermore, I continue to respect and admire how gracefully you handle what must be the constant frustrations you face on the lanes, especially given your former bowling successes and triumphs. Perhaps there are ways to compensate at least in part for your loss of control over your right arm, and if what I saw the other night is any indication, perhaps you're beginning to regain more of that control already or to find ways of your own to compensate.<br /><br />Thanks for posting the Bowlers Paradise link and for your advice about keeping one's blood pressure in check.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549770321948541384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444929631802239779.post-79480251920975796672010-03-17T17:47:51.420-07:002010-03-17T17:47:51.420-07:00When I read about how much Mark Roth's stroke ...When I read about how much Mark Roth's stroke affected him, I am thankful that the stroke which I suffered on December 23, 2004 was not nearly as severe as his was. When I had mine, I was unable to stand or walk for 3 days but after that period, I was able to start walking again. While my brain still doesn't have full control of my right arem, most people don't realize that I have suffered a major stroke. It was several months after the stroke before I could actually bowl any at all and finally was able to raise my average to around 170. That was really hard to accept when I had been averaging 220 in two leagues before the stroke.<br />I saw that bowlersparadise.com had a place to donate mone to Mark's cause and made a donation as soon as I saw it. Go here to donate if you can - http://www.bowlersparadise.com/mark-r.shtml . I am sure that they can still use our help.<br />Another thing, make sure that you try to prevent the same thing happening to you by keeping an eye on your blood pressure!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561109563148901013noreply@blogger.com
