Lazy Day

 

Wow, ever have one of those days where your thoughts just ramble on and on till you almost have no control as to what you are thinking of or where your mind takes you.  That's how my day was...

First I've made up my mind to lose some weight, that's why the scales are up on the page...figured visual positive thinking...heck if it's working for Oprah...why not me.  I still have to find a large piece of cardboard and cover it with all that I endeavour to accomplish. Some swear that it really works. I haven't cut wishes out of a magazine since I was a giddy teenager in love with Fabian and Sal Mineo...lol. Look at me, I'm going backwards!

The Monkey's are my favorite.   I had to use them. A couple of days ago I read the most ignorant blog and it was from a professional writer. He claimed that the 9.3 TRILLION dollars that we are in a hole for is largely being driven by rising Medicare and Social Security costs!

Oh, really! Not the little old war in Iraq? How about Afganistan? This is just another twist from a spin doctor to white the Republicans and in particular President Bush.  They are bankrupting this entire country, putting all of us in jeopardy and limiting our children's futures. It is heinous. Now to turn around and blame a system that did work, would work if they would keep their dam hands off of it.

I don't have that much memory loss and can recall a time that we were debt free, the future looked pretty good - we were respected around the world.  Not that long ago either...eight years ago. Then it ended. We need change and I hope everyone will vote for change not just the party that they always vote for either...we need to really get on the right page for this one folks.

The Star Wars Plates? Oh, well someone was talking about Star Wars and my mind went to the dishes that I put away somewhere.  I had been planning to find them and put them up in the Ebay Store...I loved Star Wars, as did my kids.

Now you have had a little peek into my mind complete with pictures!

Ooh! Fabian and Sal Mineo ~ I loved them too! And Star Wars! I don't think we're supposed to think about how much the war is costing us and what better good the money would be spent elsewhere. Funny how all governments, no matter how poor the country can always find the funding for war. Now I'm off to dream about Fabian and Sal! Jeannette xx

I saw an email that the problem of illegal ailens are costing us even more than the war.  It's unbelieveable...how they are draining this country.  Working in health care, I saw some things that would blow your mind !  My son still has all his original Star Wars fgurines from the 1970's.  Also, his Matchbox & Hot Wheels cars.   Linda in WA

I'm with Linda in WA.... I live in L.A. and see so much by way of illegal immigrants, and how much they TAKE from the govt.   Some ARE hard workers and DO offer much to society, I have no problem with anyone seeking a better life or even using govmt funds as a stepping stone. My beef is with the ones who come over to live forever for free, if you want a better life, work to MAKE IT BETTER!!

What an interesting view of the inside of your mind. I'm in agreement the current presidency and war has cost America it's reputation and too much money to account for. (Hugs)Indigo
