Countdown: Special Comment

Keith pretty much nailed it, again!

So many of us have emailed, called, signed petitions, and we have CRAP for reform??

I think it's time to throw out the "bill" and start over. Get the Public Option in, go for the Medicare buy-in.

FORGET BIPARTISANSHIP! The Repugs are going to continue to be obstructive, and go against anything that might be good for the people, so the hell with them!

Dems: it's time to grow a pair, and JUST DO IT!

NOW!

Holidays

As usual, I am not even close to ready for Christmas!

I have only picked up a few things for the girls, and a small fragrance set for youngest son. Most of the remaining gifts will be gift cards. Kids are grown, and actually love the gift cards, so that makes things a lot easier!

Christmas dinner? Most likely, I'll just go to Publix and get one of their already-cooked dinners, since I still have the broken oven. Publix does a decent meal; but I really prefer my own cooking. Maybe next year, I can do my own, LOL!

Mail Call

I have a PO Box, so I don't check the mail every day, like those who get the mail at their houses. I only pick up the mail once or twice a week, depending on where else my days take me. Sometimes, the mail piles up and sits there, un-opened for a while.

Today I opened some mail that I picked up on my last trip to post office. One of the bills is for tag renewal for my truck: $70.15! WTF!?! I had heard something earlier this year about the fees going up this year, but THAT MUCH??

Seriously, I will have to look around the Tax Collector website and see if I can find out why it jumped up so much.

And, I'll have to adjust the monthly budget, and find the extra money to renew.

What's Up?

I just have not felt like writing or saying much of anything--here or anywhere for a while. The words just have been on hold or whatever! Happens sometimes, what can I say?

I have been watching the news shows, reading, and listening to radio shows, trying to stay on top of what's happening in the world. I just did not feel any words trying to break out, so other than a few comments on favorite blogs, I have stayed quiet.

Now, it's time to type again, so watch for typos, LOL!
