I have the Ionic Breeze at home, but it doesn't help much unless I stay in
my room all day. There was one in the living room, but my mother didn't
like the fact that it "looked dirty" after a while (an obvious sign that the
air in the living room was polluted), so she washed the air filter...with a
hose! Needless to say, that particular air
filter doesn't work anymore... And, no, she's made no effort to
get a new one. I think she should pay for it, not me, because she's the
one who broke the last one!

Now, about the insurance: the story I get from my mother is that my
brother will be adding me to his medical insurance in a few years. I don't
see how he can do that, though. It would seem to me that after my father
retires this year, I would have to come off of his insurance and sign up for
Medicare. But, maybe there's something I'm not understanding about it.

If I could just figure out a way to look into these programs without my
parents knowing about it.
