Veilchen, You must have a beautiful garden. While I can't even imagine your winters, your growing seasons must be explosive with color because they are so short (everything blooms back-to back). I read on david austin's webpage that the later flowers of BC are smaller. Is that true? are they less double? The amount of petals is as much a determining factor of this rose as the repeat. (I love roses to be fat and stuffed with petals, like Spirit of Freedom). Thanx

I am not trying to disparage the ACA. Prior to the HIPPA regulations years ago you are correct SSN were used. We have not used them for at least 5-6 years. This was prior to the ACA. I run a dental office and have run medical offices in the past. Your insurance companies may require your SSN when you sign up for insurance; but your doctor, dentist, etc do not require it for processing your forms. You should have an updated ID card from your insurance company that has your individual and group numbers on it. The software used by dental offices now utilizes the these numbers and we NEVER have to key in a SSN. Processing claims is done electronically and I NEVER have to key in a social to process. I do not know what the ACA requires as far as ID. It is my understanding that if you are still getting your insurance through an insurance co. you use their number which is not SSN. If the government state or local pays for your insurance via ACA or medicare they in fact utilize your SSN, as it is your governmental ID number. Three years ago I was a victim of identity theft and going through that process was told that only banking and the social security administration needed your SSN. Our identities were stolen via our BANK. By a bank employee, a loan officer. Who of course had all of our info. In the three years since I refuse to put my social on a form for a random person or online. Ever.

The next time I'm down there, I'm going to stop by the historical society. The Tudor elements don't seem tacked-on to me... they're huge chamfered beams, well-integrated into decorative posts that protrude above the roofline. And the porch seems (surprisingly) original to me, too, The doors inside on the main body of the house don't seem like they've ever seen weather. The inside of the porch is fully paneled with gorgeous old wood and has a coved ceiling, and the windows and doors are all loaded with leaded glass that matches the rest of the house. And the basement extends fully beneath the entire porch. Strange. Wouldn't it be great to find a really old photograph of the place? Apparently this week he's got a mason cleaning and repointing brick, and an exterior painter starting.

It is a minus because one so many people hate Rachel she is annoying and 2 she was a winner and her sister probably has been well taught and versed in the game by Rachel and her fiance. Just like all the family of Russel being on Survivor, they have a big target on them from the beginning. I like the youth minister too and the college gal from Texas Aaryn she is very cute but not stuck on her self like some of them. She seems very down to earth. Don't much care for Amanda Zuckerman, wonder if she is kin to Facebook Zuckerman, not a fan of Jessie or that Gina Marie from Staten Island. I can not believe that Andy with the red hair is old enough to be a college professor! He looks like a teenager. Here are comments from Rachel about her sister in the game, they are not twins but are sisters. "Reilly says there’s no way Slater will be able to hide their relation, and hopes it doesn’t have a negative impact on her game, although that’s unlikely �" Willie Hantz, anyone? “I think we look like twins,” Reilly says. “People are gonna know immediately. They’re gonna see her and be like, ‘You’re Rachel’s sister.’ Or her cousin, something. They’re gonna know we’re related. And once she talks, you can totally [tell]. We have the same laugh. [Laughs.] It’s a dead giveaway.” “I hope this doesn’t put a target on her back,” she continues, “but I’m kinda worried that it will, so I think she needs to play that card, and she needs to play it with people that are my fans. If someone likes me, she needs to be in an alliance with them automatically. If someone hates me, that’s probably someone you should worry about.” While Slater is taking Reilly’s advice to heart, she also wants to play her own game, not her sister’s, especially in the social department. “I want to have her competitiveness and focus but I don’t want to play her social game because that was bad,” Slater reveals in an interview with People. “I want to be socially savvy.” “Forming an alliance is my main strategy,” she adds. “I definitely want to form the first girl alliance in Big Brother history that will make it to the end. I’m such a girly girl and I think it would be really fun for girls to run the game.” for reference here is the full cast list Rounding out the new cast are: Aaryn Gries, 22.
