Recession Shopping Tip No. 1

Can you believe it. I went shopping the other day trying to outsmart the system with coupons and all. Much to my longing for chocolate, I had to leave empty handed and broken hearted. I remember when we could buy a large 8 ox. chocolate bar for $1.00 at the most. It was so beautiful and yummy,... Sign in to see full entry.

And that you had nothing more in life to do than work all day and stop by the gym where the rest of the human rats go for exercises, and then go eat and then go home and then watch...

Healing a fourth of the body both bone, muscle and skin takes a very long time. Time passes slowly and I ve not a place to go during the long time of 6 full weeks for the tissues to grow together and take their place in what will be a newly functioning body.

New Shoulder Joint

The new shoulder joint left me with some huge bruising and bleedout under the skin. Oh well, that is the usual case in this situation. The right shoulder was not so difficult to do as the left one was. The doctor said he had to literally sew it up into some sort of normal shape. There were multiple... Sign in to see full entry.

A great scheme of monetary revenge by computer!

Recently, I received on two separate days two separate letters generated by computer mail merge tactics accusing me of owing money using names similar but not the same as my own name. These were debts incurred with two companies I have never dealt with in my life, G E Investments, and T Mobile... Sign in to see full entry.

Surgery is very nera.

Me again, late at night awaiting time to tick away before entering presurgical admission at 11:30 AM tomorrow, and then get to wait the endless wait before it all begins and when you wake up everything will be excruciatingly painful.

We know that Obama is a divine speaker, and is able to charm an audience like a snake. I saw tv again today as the news was playing one of his reels from the day.

Sure they can get along in the world, but there are some obviouos lackings. I feel sorry for Michelle and he. I know they need... Sign in to see full entry.

Money, Money, Money, and We're So Broke

We're so broke it could make you choke to death wondering what gevernment is submitting our tax dollars to do or be done with. It seems extremely lame for big business to "go broke" and depend on us to pull them out. We did not put them there, we did not gamble on bad debts as they did, and we did...

Guns and Politics

Guns seem to be inseparable from politics in Washington and in Congress. It appears that a list has been introduced and is still in the making to sweep from existence several rifles and attack weapons.
