Oh Brother…

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Welcome back!

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.

Politics, politics, YUK

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Everywhere that I look on the TV right now, there are political ads everywhere, everywhere….did I say EVERYWHERE?

This man says this, that man says that……noise, noise, NOISE!

I am an opinionated fat broad and even I don’t have as many opinions as the politicians do in all of their ads.

I know that they are trying to get elected, I just wish that they would tell the truth.

OOPS, if they did that they would not get elected….would they?

Am I the only one who feels that the political course of our country has been side tracked by the media frenzy that goes with elections?

Fat Head

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Have you ever heard this before? Well, of course you have.

I know that there are a lot of people out there that could use home gyms to get rid of their very own personal fat head.

I have met a few of these people. They seem to be so full of them selves that they are unable to think that anyone else has a valuable opinion, or thought. The main trouble with this is that most of the ones who have this condition are politicians. UG

By the way, do you realize that it is getting to be political season again? The political ads are all over the TV, and each commercial is another pain.

I need to lose weight

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

I know, it is a DUH moment here, but it is true.

The moment is true, but I do not need to hear about exercise. That is something that I can’t do. Not won’t, but can’t. I hear about people taking diet pills, I also hear about all sorts of diets.

It would be nice it there were pills that would make your body react as if it was exercising, but without the chance of pain. Yes, I said pain, not rain. I know there aren’t any such a thing right now, but it sure would be handy.

I recently went to the doctor and was very surprised myself at what the scale read. UG is the only thing that I could say. Is there a food that makes you body think that it is exerciseing? I would love to hear about it.

Free Directory Needed

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

In society, we need free directories on how to get through all of the red tape that the government puts out.

There is supposed to be a phone number that you can call to get free publications to help with stuff. However, the government is not so simple. You would think that the color red in dye and in ink would so expensive because of its over use.

Really simple stuff? Would it be the same government if it was simple? Of course not, but it would probably run in a cheaper manner and not be so complicated. I realize that I am not being realistic. If any one could do it, then all of the politicians would need to go on unemployment. *snicker*

Got it figured

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Yup, got it figured out.

Get all of the politicians to go on diets. (I also need to diet by the way. The name gives it away.) They should have the same resources that we have.

Think about it. They use the Medifast coupons that can be found. They no longer eat in the special dining chambers that are there in DC. If they eat the same foods that we eat, use the means available that we have, they might get a better perspective on real life.

I know that I am dreaming here. But, wouldn’t it be nice? Ah, it is so fun to dream. :)

Who Needs to Diet?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

After all of the hoopla that i’ve seen these past days. I realize parts of the country need to go on a diet. Guess who I am thinking of here. Try - FAT HEADS.

The FAT HEADS that I am thinking of are the congressmen and the senators in Washington, DC. They want the country to use the ‘new’ health care plan. They won’t use it of course, they have their own thing going with their own type of health care. Of course that is not available to the ordinary citizen. If very soon, they want a pay raise, I believe that we should deny them any pay at all. If you consider the state that the country is in at the moment, they have NOT earned any pay at all. I believe that they have abused the ordinary person in this country. They are supposed to be in office to help, not to hinder.

Yes, I am griping, who wouldn’t.

Is Anybody Listening?

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Ok, I have been reading. I have been watching.

There are so many people that do not want Obama-care that it is unreal. The news talks about the protesters. The politicians ignore those speaking out. People from other countries are making comments. The BBC website has a lot of comments.

What I do not hear is a reasonable way to fix things. Politicians in control of our health created Medicare and Medicaid. Politicians are the ones who have helped this country into having a hard time financially, not just the investors, banks, and stock brokers alone. Why would we want them in charge of our collective health? Remember, they have their own health-care system. They would not suffer.

Clothes

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

One of the things that we have learned about funerals, and burying a friend, is the rule concerning clothes. The body of the person being buried has to be covered with a regular set of clothes. I don’t know if babies would be required to have baby clothes or not, but it is something to think about.

Here where we live, men are required to wear pants, shirt, socks, and underwear. I can understand being concerned for the dignity of the person being buried. Woman being buried would be required to have pantyhose, bra, and underwear along with other apparel. It makes the job of funeral director more difficult. Considering that not everyone would ordinarily wear such things is not taken into account. I do not know who sets up these rules, but they are there. I hope that others do not have to learn the hard way about these things. It makes a bad time more difficult. Regular life does not prepare you for these things.

Elitism

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Have you ever wanted to be part of a group and tried to get accepted? Everybody has of course.

When you find yourself rejected it hurts. When no explanation is given it hurts even worse, because you are treated as if your feelings have no importance. People are sociable critters and like to gather into groups. Usually someone becomes a hermit because of difficult circumstances. Acceptance into a group is sometimes felt as if it means success in one part of life or another.

When people practice elitism, they are saying that the others around them are not worthy of their regard. That does not mean that it is fact, it is just a point of view from only one group. If you have been hurt through elitism, do not give up, maybe that group wasn’t worth YOUR regard. Try another. Remember that people usually gather into groups. There will be a group some where that will consider you to be worth of their regard. Do not let the opinions of one group hurt you and make your life more difficult.
