Life, again, and again

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Welcome back!

I mentioned homelessness in my last article.

Whereever I look in our town, I see signs that say homes for rent. We live near an army base so, that must mean that a bunch of the military have been transferred to other posts.

We, ourselves, live in an apartment complex that is loaded with seniors, and handicapped. No military here, and very few vacancies. People who are homeless, are usually that way because of finances, or tragedy. So far, we are not among them. For that I am thankful.

Life

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Some people need lessons on how to treat acne, I apparently need lessons on how to balbance a check book.

It isn’t often that i screw up, but it seems like when I do that I do a really good job of it. I have overdraft protection on the worst hit account, but it still hurts. We could really use that money right now. What else is new?

Each month we get to less than one dollar. We are already cutting corners, I guess that now we will be cutting into the walls, too. We are not homeless, so we are still in better shape than some. I do not like it when I mess up, who does after all. :(

OUCH

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

We usually go to the smallest penny each month.

This month, a couple of times those pennies went astray. OUCH We need Outer Banks vacations after this mess is straightened out.

So far, I’ve been notified of NSF checks hitting the bank when I hac believed that there was money in there waiting for them. NSF are 3 letters that are dreaded by those who balance check books each month. That overdraft money is really needed in our home, not in the bank’s pocket.

Anyone know where I can sell some paper back books, cheap. Only 50 cents each. Oh, how abaout some unused computer programs discs?

Careers

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

With this economy, a new career would probably help someone. It’s just that it would be something if all of the unemployed got new careers all at the same time.

What field is the one most looking for someone to fill it right now? I have no idea. I haven’t worked for a long time. I think it was in 1989. I was working in a print shop in Arkansas. I had fun there.

In my life, I have learned a lot of different skills. Some I still use, others are going to waste. At least my mind still works.

Doesn’t it? :)

Oh Brother…

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Well, it seems that the politicians in Washington do not want to listen to the American people. They are wanting to push through the so-called health care bill.

I say so-called because it will adversly effect everyone around. We are a family that has very limited means. According to the bill, we will be forced to pay for health care insurance where or not we actually have $10 to spare. Someone will then determine if we can afford it or not. We already know that we cannot afford it. We count every penny that we have. Lincoln no longer has a beard.

So when my brother-in-law sent me the following e-mail, it really hit the spot.

Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change…. I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

THE BOSS

It really fits.

It’s on TV

Monday, March 1st, 2010

There are so many boring commercials these days that it is amazing.

Recently saw one that actually made me laugh. If I had an epson receipt printer, I would print it out in its entirety just so you could read what it says.

It shows a man talking about a famous mens’ cologne, and body spray. He talks and talks as the camera slowly moves back from him to give you a better view.

When it finally shows what he is doing, he is riding a horse BACKWARDS. That is a unique way to approach getting an audience’s attention. I know that it got mine, for I burst out laughing.

Dandruff

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I’ve got it. Do you?

Wonderful title isn’t it? Of all of the things that i could write about, I chose dandruff. Little flakes of skin that get in the way, show on your shoulder and other places.

Of course then there is the wonderful eczema, which is more than just dry skin. If I thought that I could put hand lotion on my head to get rid of the dandruff, I would. Unfortunately that would give me the appearance of a wet head. It might smell nice, but it would be a pain to wash out and my hair would be plastered to my head. At least I wouldn’t have to worry about having split ends…would I? Not sure.

Not Bored

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Nope, I’m not bored.

I am sleepy. Yea! There is a difference. Bored means that I cannot sleep. Even some fitness equipment wouldn’t help. I would be there exercising, and still want something to do. That is bored.

Sleepy means that even if I cannot find something to do that is interesting, I can always take a nap. Yes, I still believe in naps. Just because I stop being 6 does not mean that the occasional nap does not come in handy. After all, it does help with getting rid of bored.

Do you realize that there is an old Chinese curse that has you point a finger at someone and say - may you live in interesting times? It sounds very innocent.

IT AINT! When you look at the TV and see what is on the news - that is considered interesting. Bored isn’t so bad after all. :)

I’m bored

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I am bored.

Great news isn’t it? Well, I guess that we all get to that point at one time or another. We have an entertainment center with TV, VCR, tapes (yes tapes), DVD’s, and a lot of other stuff on it. I just wish that entertainment centers would also come with their own entertainment.

I really don’t feel like watching a movie. TV does not really suit me right now. Maybe a book to read would be nice. The books that I have in our home, I have already read. I guess that I could go to sleep and join the millions of others in dream land. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - oops, see ya laters.

Figured it out

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Yes, I figured it out.

What it is…I have no idea. *snicker…snort*

Never mind me today, I feel like being a wise guy…er, gal. :)
I realize that sometimes what I write does not make a whole lot of sense, but that’s life. Because I am the boss over this blog, I can write nonsense, wisdom (if I have any), poetry, practical jokes. Whatever ‘it’ is - auto insurance quotes, information, idiocy, opinions (of which I have a lot), or nothing at all, it is all mine.

OOPS, that means if it is bad I cannot blame anyone else but me. Hmmmmmm, oh well, that’s life. :)
