It has been quite awhile since I treated myself out to a play or concert. When I was still single, I frequented concerts every week if I can help it. That was around 15 years ago. Now, I was surprised how easy it is to book tickets (to anywhere) – because everything is done online. Electric Factory Tickets are sold for the show of Colbie Caillat on the 14th of October. The converted tire factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to a great deal of eclectic and diverse music artists.

Jersey Boys Tickets can also be purchased at ACheapSeat.com – from New York, Illinois, Washington, Tennessee and practically everywhere else there is Jersey Boys, they have it! A Steady Rain Tickets, play to look forward to, even has the complete schedule lined up already.

I have been closely monitoring US President Barrack Obama’s health care reform plan for days. Parts of it I still cannot understand, like how getting all American citizens health insurance (their basic right, mind you) is regarded as controversial.

Quoting what Obama said in an interview:

In the United States of America, no one should have to worry that they’ll go without health insurance — not for one year, not for one month, not for one day.

"And once I sign my health reform plan into law, they won’t

This issue hits close to home. As a mom who has been hospitalized once a year WITHOUT health insurance, it was a pain in the neck and draining to our very limited financial funds. It was a good thing that the husband’s office gives away payday advances so we were able to secure cash in such a short amount of time.

Not anybody can be granted a payday loan though. For starters, you need to have a job which has your salary directed to your current account, because you need a checkbook and a debit card for this. Of course once you get paid, you need to pay the full amount plus interest too. There are other financial payment plans one can avail of (if you also cannot afford to pay it all at the same time).

Here’s to health insurance – may it be a basic human right.
