The Beccanetic Convention and Mad Doctors on the Loose

The Beccanetic Convention

I am the first to admit that I am much better at making History than I am at remembering it - and - I am entirely more interested in being the Government around my crazy household than I am in the goings on of Democrats or Republicans is this great country. Some may say "shame on you Becca for riding on other people's coat tails" but I say hey - if you got a problem with me then maybe you should try it my way....

So in Beccanetics:

• Campaign fund raisers would be prohibited -no contributions - no donations.
  
• Campaigns would have to be self funded -
• However, fund raisers to support charities, human needs or local interests would be encouraged -
  
• TV Commercials would not be used
• Telephone messages "from the candidate" would also be prohibited
  
• Instead - each candidate would be given a supply of poster board and sharpie for which to conduct their campaign
• Candidates would be prohibited from talking about each other - They would only be permitted to discuss themselves and their own political views and intentions
• Mudslinging, slander, or just being plain rude would disqualify a candidate
• And the final point for which compliance is mandatory - absolutely NO orange pant suits

In all instances we would follow the stop light system for those who do not adhere to the rules

• first a warning will be given
• second the candidate will spend a day or two in time out
• Finally, the candidate will permanantly disqualified and sent to their room.

In Beccanetics the goals would be

• to challenge the candidates to demonstrate their abilities to interact diplomatically with their opponents
  
• practice politics that enable politicians to be out among the REAL people and not just the political junkies who have nothing better to do on a Sunday than to go to a rally
  

Surely this plan is in it's infancy and is not well developed - but what they hey - I like it ;)

Continuing on with the events of the day

Becca (that would be me) has survived yet another meeting with the hostiles and came out completely unscathed. The would be perpetrators were met head on when Becca showed up with reinforcements (Becca's DH Matt) taking the tiny little doctors office by storm.

With the skill of a prized fighter we talked them down from their insulin soap box - only to be told that we didn't qualify for a pump anyway. So we walked away free men and women - laden down only by a handful of prescriptions, a 24 hour collection device (YIPPPEEEE!) and a renewed resolve to blast bad sugars into space and furnish the world with new little Hastings Face/ Secor Head combo's.

So all you sugar lovers out there - enjoy a Coke and Bag of doritos and a double plate Mexican special for me!
