A Cure

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Welcome back!

I wish that there was a cure for having politicians in office. It is usually called ‘an election’, but it doesn’t always work. There is an adult acne cure out there, however.

Since I’ve never had acne as an adult, lots of hiccups however, I am happy. About politicians, I am not happy at all. They promise such things to get elected and then when they get in office, it never shows up in quite the manner that was talked about.

So, get rid of acne - taken care of. Get rid of bothersome politicians……

HMMMMMMM

To Smoke, or Not to Smoke

Monday, June 28th, 2010

That is the question. I do not smoke. Have some friends that do. That’s life.

However, there are some new rules going around in this part of the country that I do not like. Politicians are trying to tell businesses whether or not to allow smoking in those areas. That choice should be left to the individual businesses to determine.

The next thing that I know the politicians will try to make rules against the electronic cigarette that some people are using. They already try to tell us what we can and can not eat. I mean what is with this people. Don’t they have enough to do without trying to mess with our individual lives. If the owner of a place does not want smoking, fine. If they do want smoking, fine. Put a notice on the door that says smoking allowed here. If non smokers do not want the smoke, they do not enter. SIMPLE, right………….not with politicians.

Can you guess that I am not fond of politicians? :)

Expired Medicine

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Have you seen how the media has been talking about those supposed ‘humanitarian’ blockade ships?

It sounds as if the media want us to feel sorry for those who knew ahead of time that they should not try to invade Israeli waters. There is a port set aside for any, ANY, aid that comes for the Gaza strip. This shows why the items being sent are being inspected.

http://idfspokesperson.com/2010/06/03/unloading-of-humanitarian-aid-from-the-flotilla-continues-3-june-2010/

Expired medicine is not aid. It can kill or make sick people who are already in need. Camouflage cloth? How is that aid?

Those ‘humanitarians are evidently liars of the first order. But what I do not understand is why our AMERICAN media has gone along with the lies !?!

I have some left

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Surprise, surprise, and of course, surprise.

We actually have a little amount of money left. This is the end of the third day. With the costs of things today, having money left after the third day is very rare.

Uncle Sam said that the cost of things hasn’t gone up and did not give any one getting Social Security a cost of living increase. I bet that the congressmen and senators got their cost of living increase. As if they actually need it.

It is pitiful that anyone who gets Social Security is below poverty level. Even after paying in for so many years. The government has played footloose with the funds that are supposed to be in savings for those who collect Social Security. It charges more each year for the Medicare fee, yet Medicare covers less and less.

I am griping. I know that our government does not listen. Too bad THEY aren’t made to live on the same funds as all seniors and disabled.

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.

Smoking, or Not Smoking

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Many buildings these days are now marked as no smoking areas. Public buildings, private buildings. I have heard that there are even times that people want to make private homes no smoking areas. What ever happened to people having the right to choose?

I am not a smoker, but some of these laws bother me a lot. If a business wants to mark itself as a place where smokers are welcome, why can they not put up signs like that? Why do lawmakers want to define how private citizens live? Why do lawmakers feel they have to interfere in how private businesses are run? When has Big Brother ( George Orwell’s version) taken over private life? If people have the desire to pollute their own lungs, that is their choice. When the law makers interfere in private lives, they go too far.

Kitties

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Since my previous post was serious, I decided to let out something that is not serious at all.

My sister knows that I love to see critters, games, food (as if my nick name didn’t give that away), and science articles. Well she sent me a site that has some very cute kittens, and one very smiling cat. Since I have 2 cats myself, I do know when a cat is smiling. So, to cheer up those who want something to grin about, I have put in a link to the site. I haven’t checked out the other pages to see other pictures, but i do believe they are there. I will check them out after I get done here.

On TV the politicians are blaming one political party or another, the fat cat executives in the financial places are stuffing their pockets while they can, while the rest of us just wait to see what will happen next. So here again is a link to something cheerful. :)

Election Coming Up

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Come November, there will be an election for the office of President of the United States of America.

Both parties have their candidates lined up. Both seem to have their point ready to make for someone to choose them over their opponent.

I am a registered voter, I do vote. My question is….are you registered to vote? will you vote?

The last presidential election showed how important every vote is. Please do not just let things ride, then gripe when you do not like what happens. If you have a point of view, or a want for your country’s representative, VOTE. if you do not care to vote or to register……do not complain later, please.

Privatized Jails

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

My husband has gone into the nearby jail to witness to the inmates. He has been able to lead quite a few to the Lord.

He just told me his views of privatized jails. It is not pleasant. Then I found an article in the NY Times online that made me almost want to commit violent felonies on the ones who did what was done. A law abiding man was thrown into detention because of a foul up on the Government’s part over a green card. He was denied any medical treatment until 5 days before he died of excruciatingly painful bone cancer. He was treated roughly over and over again.

WHY? I want to know why? We have illegal aliens getting more benefits from our own government than citizens. Yes, I said illegal, not law abiding. Now, this has happened. It was a privatized company that was in charge of this man’s care. Is this what all citizens have to look forward to if something happens and we end up in detention or jail? :(

This man did NOTHING WRONG and yet, he got the death penalty.

Voting

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Voting here in the USA is supposed to be a responsibility and privilege of legally registered US citizens.

How have any who are not citizens been allowed to register AND VOTE? IT HAS HAPPENED. The sad part in addition to all this is the fact that many regular, law abiding US citizens no longer care to take part in this country. It is bad enough that many forms that we fill out each day have Spanish on them as well as English, but to allow lawbreakers to try to take over our country, too?

Why doesn’t anybody care? Where is the media in this? They are surprisingly silent. We should not be silent, too.

After all if someone is an illegal alien, they are a lawbreaker. They show no respect for the laws of the land they are in illegally. Why should they be allowed to influence our lives?
