Driving me daisy….crazy

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Welcome back!

My computer is driving me CRAZY. *^%$^%$#()(_&%$#

If IT thinks a link is taking too long, it puts up a message that it timed out. Yeah, RIGHT…I don’t think so. IF I am working on something and it hasn’t had computer messages going back and forth, say I am typing something…it disconnects me from the internet.

Who designed this crazy stupid junk? I would dearly like to give that person some of my point of view when I get disconnected, interrupted, and in general driven crazy. I was e (*&%$) it did it again! I am beginning to HATE computer and their supposed logic boards. There is no logic to something deciding - 0n its own - to disconnect when it hasn’t been asked to.

Tired

Monday, June 28th, 2010

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

Do Not Call

Monday, June 21st, 2010

I have been on the Do Not Call list for years.

That however, does not stop bothersome people from calling. There is something that you can do about it. I made a link in the sentence at the beginning of this blog, where the words ‘Do Not Call list’ are put. If you click on it, it will take you to the official site to take care of such things.

Stranded

Monday, June 14th, 2010

We have some friends who came up from New Braunfels, Texas. They cam up on his motorcycle as it is their only way to have transportation. It is in trouble.

A couple of mechanics have told him that he needs to put in a new jet kit. That kit alone costs almost 90$, and then there is the cost of the mechanic. They now have only the money for gasoline to get back home, and they are not able to use the bike for it will burn itself up if they try.

We are not the only ones who are in need concerning the transportation that we have available.

We went to the local food pantry today and found out that they are running out of food. One of the ladies came out and asked another why she is there today since there is nothing for her to do since everything is running out. How can our politicians say that everything is getting better when people are going hungry, becoming homeless, getting stranded, and there is no one there to help?

IF everything is so rosy, if you listen to Obama, why are the food pantries running out of food, and there is no help for travelers, and people losing their homes. It would be nice if the politicians would get their heads out of the sinking sand and actually look around at what is REALLY going on. They

    must

be blind.

Our planet has acne

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Yes, I did say that our planet has acne.

If you get too much oil on your face, sometimes you get acne. Well with the oil spill out in the Gulf of Mexico, we have too much oil on the surface of our planet. Therefore - acne. Right? Maybe? Maybe acne treatments reviews might help people, but I don’t think it will help in this instance.

I am just wondering how this mess will ever be cleaned up, or if it will be cleaned up. It’s bad enough that all of the oil is being wasted, but the damage that it is doing at the same time is just horrible. The lives being lost in the actual explosion, the wildlife that is being lost, the damage being done to the living of fishermen on the coast, the damage to the environment……

Is there a final answer to this mess?

I hate to think what the final answer might be.

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.

Computers ARGH!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I have 2 computers.

They are scheming together to drive me nuts. Yes, they are!

One is running out of available memory, the other is refusing to send out any e-mails. Why? I have NO IDEA. They are driving me nuts.

When things get tough computer wise, I just remember…they were designed by human beings to drive other human beings crazy. :)

Yup, that’l do it for sure.

Betrayed

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

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.

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?

Now what?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Well, as I had mentioned in my previous article, there have been some things going on.

Now, We find out when a policeman comes to the door that the American Legion across the street from us was broken into the other night. I begin to think that we might need some security cameras to watch the neighborhood. Not only was the Legion building broken into, but the water department for our city was also broken into. The officer was trying to find out if anyone had seen anything when this happened. We were one of the first to have him visit since we live so close to where it happened.

The park down the road from us has its own troubles, too. There are hookers and drug dealers, or horny males hanging out there a lot. So much for the kids being able to play without any trouble.
