Paper!

I really get tired of all the excess paper that comes in the mail! Phone books! Holy cow! Whats with all the phone books? What does one DO with all the phone books? It seems that that dilemma is over at least, since they are not going to be sending them out anymore. Yay! Then theres the cardboard ads and offers that fill up the mailbox, and your waste basket...The biggest culprit is the insurance companies and Medicare. Huge packets of information that one human person cannot possibly read....or want to...Talk about waste! Why not put this info on a CD and send that? I actually have boxes of paper up in the storeroom that I'm afraid to get rid of. What if I needed it for some odd reason? To prove something or check something? Of COURSE I will never needs to do any of that! At least I haven't yet. Are there some brave people out there that throw this stuff away as soon as it arrives? Do you throw out old bills before 5 years is up? Do you slash and smash, and shred instantly? Why should one have to walk out to the mail box only to find junk mail? I'm considering putting a junk mail box out there. Do ya think the mail lady would separate for me? Id offer to pay her money to do this....I have to go now....Theres a pile of paper on my table that calls my name....Late ta

Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and a peaceful one.....I give so much thanks for my family, my friends and my Dear hubby. Thanks for all the things I have to keep me warm, fed, and safe. Thanks for all the men and women that fight to keep us safe from those that would destroy our way of life. Those that have given their lives so we may live...God Bless one and all on this holiday and every day of the year.....

Sarah Plain? Are you kidding me?

Well, it seems some people think she could win a presidential election. Say what? This woman would be a joke and thats the truth. What if after a few months as President , she decided she didn't like it? Would she try to resign? Does anyone honestly think she could run this country? With her ye haw and jeepers, the heads of state would really take her seriously now wouldn't they? Frankly speaking I think the republican party would like to have her in there so they could run things for her. They may be in error thinking that. She may very well be a rogue and run amok. Shes like those other reality stars, [Stars?] little knowledge of what she speaks....Lord Lord, what is this country coming too? Late Ta...

Your future, NOW!

I hope that all you young folks are making plans for your senior years now....Time is not in your favor, and the years pass very quickly. Yesterday I was 20 without worry. Now I'm 68 and on social security that doesn't make one rich...Hubby is 71 and feels he still needs to work to have enough money. Oh, we have a 401k and some savings but how long would that last if we lived on it?
If we had been able to start saving at a young age we could be in good shape now. Figure ten dollars a week. 40 a month. 12 months in a year. 480 a year. In 20 yrs you could have 9,600. In 40 yrs 19,200. Thats on just 10 dollars a week...Double that or triple that...You really need to protect yourselves from being without in your senior years....Think about it...Late ta

Its OVER!

The golf season that is. We finished up with 3 days of wonderful golf on a beautiful well maintained course. I will miss it very much until next spring...
No more mowing lawn either. I cleaned out the green house and stored all the empty pots and planters. The doo dahs and ornaments that lingered in among the plants are put away once more. The flower beds are wrapped in leaves and sleeping peacefully...The trees are bare of leaves and waiting in stately repose for the snows and winds to come. They are not afraid, they are brave and will hold up well all winter long. Now me? Thats another thought entirely. I'm not a fan of the slippery roads, and heavy snows. The bitter cold winds that cut like a knife thru skin uncovered...I do like to stay in, where its warm and cozy. Bake fragrant breads, and pies, that fill the house with heavenly smells. I love a good book, or crocheting a nice warm afghan. I love a good movie and a long phone call from a dear one. Okay, I guess winter has its good points, as does every other season of the year. I will celebrate every one of them and enjoy my life...Late Ta....

Avatar and other ramblings..

We watched Avatar last night on our wide screen tv. I loved it! Irv, not so much. Hes never been into fantasy that much, so it didn't surprise me. I would have loved to see it in 3D, and can imagine how much more fantastic it would have been...The animals might have been a trifle much, but in ones imagination..... it could have been. When I went to bed, I couldn't leave those people behind. I was still there, flying through the sky's and walking through the beautiful landscape of Pandora. It actually took me back to my childhood, when we would play in the woods and our imaginations would soar. We were never mom.s kids. We were heroes and villains. We had beautiful white horses and shiny armor. We lived like Pandora's' people, in a world of imagination...How absolutely wonderful...

Im so mad!!~!!!

Ive been after the clinic to reimburse me for an over charge they made....They keep saying they'll look into it.... Today I got a call from the hospital saying I owed 50 dollars, Money the insurance didn't pay....I told them I had received no bill on this, and after checking he noticed that the bill was sent out yesterday!!!!!! Yesterday! Which means I didn't even get it yet! Way to go St Josephs. I said that if I got the bill, I would look it over and probably pay it...I told the CLINIC that if I owed THEM the 100 bucks, they would have had it in collection by now...Soooooo, I supposedly owe the hospital 50 dollars and the clinic owes me 100....What the H E double hockey stick? Heres the news folks, If you owe, its right now honey! If THEY owe you....its when they get around to it.....Isnt life grand? Late ta...
