Yup, it is that time again.
Have you ever noticed that when you get tired, that is when all of the stuff seems to happen?
I do not know about you, but I am not really into the hustle and bustle that goes with keeping up with the ‘Jones’. I have heard that people are lining up in droves to get this or that which happens to be coming out. I just want to get along without fuss. There is a lot going on over here at the apartment complex. The owner will be doing some upgrades on the apartments that are required by the government.
I have no idea why, the apartments are very nice, but Uncle Sam wants this, that, and the other thing. He does not care about the upset that is being caused for the senior citizens effected. I have seen people giving away things that they really want to keep, and putting out for the trash man, some things that they do not want to throw away.
Government seems to be a big pain in the a**. I wish that the government men responsible for this stuff would have to go through it the same time that everyone else does. See how those people ‘in charge‘ like the hubbub.
PHOOEY

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.

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 !?!

With all of the things that are going on, we need more income for our family.
My husband gets social security disability. That is better than nothing. I, unfortunately do not qualify because I do not have enough points in the system. I wish that I did. I am not able to work in many of the types of jobs that I’d had before, since i cannot stand or do much walking.
Each year, he was getting a cost of living increase (not that it kept up with the actual cost of living). This year, it was decided that he shouldn’t get one. My opinion about that is definitely off of the record since I am supposed to be polite when others can read what I type in. I know that others who get this from having the FICA taxes taken out of their paychecks also barely make it.
The system is far from perfect, it is a mess. I just wish that the politicians would quit playing with it and playing with our lives.

I don’t know about you, but I feel betrayed by the politicians in Washington, DC.
Nancy Pelosi promised to co-operate with both sides in the political battle and to do things to help the citizens of the country. She has not done as she promised.
So many people in this country do NOT, repeat NOT want the so-called health care bill. Yet, the politicians are trying to kangaroo it into effect no matter what the people want. So much for helping the people.

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.

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?

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 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.

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*

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.
