A lot of peoples' safety rafts have sprung a leak lately, and the government is handing out billions in bailouts. Most of us know that by now. The big 3 automakers are asking for help now also. Well I guess I should say more help, they have already received money. Millions of jobs could be lost should these companies fail. I say let them. Greed runs rampant within these companies, from the

So right now I am not finding time to write three times a week so for now I am going to cut back to two times a week. Since Monday seems to be a bad day for me just out of things I always seem to have to do I have picked the days of Tuesday and Friday. Tuesday may change after the holidays due to the fact it is a day my husband should have off, but for now he only has one day off a week. So

By now we all know who the president elect is. If you don't what rock have you been hiding under? Barrack Obama received the nod from the American people, without or with the help of racism. Personally, I didn't vote. I thought they were both good men, and both would do the country a great service whoever should have been the winner. Most people I personally know voted for McCain. I don't talk

To Whom It May Concern:I was watching TV one day to see a good message about saying no to fake, over processed food and to say yes to eating something actually good for you. I was very shocked to see the product you were pushing. Mayonnaise! Seriously? I know your point is that with a balanced diet you can eat just about anything, but to try to sell your product by suggesting that mayonnaise is

Today I started a Yahoo! group called The Blog Network. I started it for semi selfish reasons, I wanted to know that people are actually reading what I have to say and knowing that people might actually read this will keep me updating. I knew that if I felt like it was pointless to write not knowing if anyone was reading, than others most likely felt the same way. There are similar web rings

A couple celebrities come to mind on this one in the past few weeks, one being the funeral of Estelle Getty. Most people would disagree with me it seems, but in some ways I can see why her co stars did not attend. Betty White said They were there when it mattered, and on some levels I agree with her about the funeral in a celebrities life being a media event rather than chance for people to mourn

I watched every race. Okay, admittedly I turned the channel yesterday in time to watch the breakdown of the finish. I thought I had turned the TV from my husband’s video game in time to watch him lose. I was upset for a couple of minutes until I finally heard them say he had won. Perhaps Mr. Cavic should have held his tongue until after the race about who his win would have been good for,

So I call the child support bureau and state I didn't receive the child support I was suppose to this week. Then they tell that joke that you know they all must keep tally of somewhere of how many times they have said it to share with their friends. "You need to contact the father..." Oh ho ho... funny... If I could contact him why would I be contacting you? If I could speak to him without

By now most of us have heard about have heard about the Olympic swimmer Dara Torres, the 41 year old who qualified for her 5th Olympics and broke her own record. Now instead of celebrating her victory people want to say there is no physical way a woman her age can do that so she just HAS TO BE using drugs (You know because we are all suppose to have spread out by then and be steadily approaching

Going through an old topic list for my blog and I found one about insufficient funds fees that was connected to an earlier blog about check being cashed a month and an half after I had written it. It had wrecked my finances only a week or two before Christmas. My friend just had the same issue because of a miscalculation, but it did remind me to write this post. Shortly after the checked cashed

Or at least that is how we should feel if you watch the news. My husband was consistently reading about the economic failures of our society and telling me about it. Two weekends ago I finally said "You know what? I don't care." I was sick of hearing him tell me the world is coming to an end, the news telling me we are all doomed to suffer from this country's economic dilemma. I think he got the

The first e-mail address I ever had was through Rocketmail. A couple years later Yahoo! took them over, and then a short time after that the addresses where phased out. Today I found that I can now open a new Rocketmail or Ymail account through Yahoo! in what I am guessing is an attempt for people to stop having to be the 1 million sweetie something, now you can be THE sweetie, but only if you

What caught and held my attention today wasn't anything on TV or in the news, although hearing George Carlin had died was a bit sad. No, what has me up at this hour posting instead of returning to bed is something most of us (most likely all of us) are guilty of, which is over analyzing our past. We try to change it in our minds, trying to tell ourselves that the reasons that we had done

In this day and age everyone thinks we should be living like The Jetsons, with the most important invention not yet created being the flying car. Am I the only one that thinks this is a HORRIBLE idea? I understand the conveniences that an invention like this could provide, direct routes, faster commutes, and less traffic, unless you can recall The Jetsons and their skyways, their traffic was as

We ran into the salesman we had all those problems with at the end of last year, beginning of this year while out to lunch at a Chinese restaurant. I groaned upon noticing him, and while filling my plate at the buffet I know he saw me too. To confirm he had recognized me we overheard him tell the other man he was eating with (which he made sure we overheard it because he said it really loud) "

Our bed finally arrived. The same guys that set up the first had come back to drop off the correct one, and boy did he get a story. A couple weeks after we had initially bought the furniture we get a phone call from our finance company. My husband has used than over the years for a variety of things and is a valued customer to them. They hadn't approved us for $4,000, they had approved for only

The Issue: A missing bed frame...So we have given these people a week to fix this problem and I just made my husband call the store. According to the "manager" our bed will not arrive until Jan 31st! What the heck? And someone couldn't call us to tell us this? My husband told them of course this was unacceptable because now we are going to pay for furniture we have not received and have no bed

The Issue: A missing bed frame...I called the man who didn't deliver last night, and according to him he had just attempted to call my house and my cell phone with no answers. Bull, because neither rung and although I can believe one screwing up but I can not believe both had. Supposedly the headboard is cracked and he won't give me busted furniture. Okay, that is fair, I don't want busted

The Issue: When did you cash that check?...I gave my daughter's teacher a check issued in the teacher's name like she asked me to for books that we had ordered from one of those order forms. She said this way she can write one big check and we will get our books faster. Okay, sounds good. So the check was dated 10/5/07, and my account indicates it was cashed 12/20/07. WOW did that screw up

The Issue: If you are delivering furniture make sure you get the bed right...My husband and I went out and bought 3 rooms of furniture on Tuesday, master bedroom, daughter's bedroom and a sectional microfiber couch, spending about $4,000. The first day they could make the delivery was today, but they came before noon so not that terrible. They brought everything in before starting to set it up
