This is a very sad state of affairs. Most all of the other modern countries have a health insurance plan that ensures that everyone that lives in the country will get life-saving medical care. A lot of people here in the United States feel that if the United States adopts a socialized health plan that the entire foundation of the American way of life will be broken. I think that a lot of people are confusing themselves, not realizing that a democracy is different than a republic (and the USA is a republic) and the difference between capitalism and socialism. There is an old saying that too much of any good thing can kill you. I think in this case too much capitalism is killing Americans. What do you think?

Every time I get a fashion catalog in the mail, I look through it and find a few styles that I’d like to wear.  But I can’t find anything that is my size.  And I get really aggravated that most of the outfits that I like the most are either dry clean only or made out of polyester.  I want something that will breathe and be washable!  I don’t think that is too much to ask!

I either have to lose weight to fit into a misses fashion size, or gain weight to fit into a plus size fashion.  I don’t want to gain weight, and although I wouldn’t mind losing a few pounds, with my lifestyle it will be very difficult to do that.

And to be perfectly honest, I don’t like how a lot of the women’s sized clothes look like maternity clothes with their empire waists.  Or they look like tents.  I think that the fashion designers could put together some clothes that are nicely tailored that don’t make the women look like fools!

They are not even being given cost of living adjustments, so their purchasing power keeps decreasing while the cost of living keeps increasing. I keep hearing on the news that there are a lot of people living in illegal tent cities around the country because they can no longer afford to live in a house or apartment. And the police keep rousting these tent cities. Where are these families supposed to go? The shelters are full, or in some cases refuse to take them because many of these people are disabled and can’t work and the shelters won’t take anyone that won’t or can’t look for work.

This is so very sad. I don’t know what the answer is, but this is really a tragedy on our own soil.

I’m not saying that I want guns and I’m not saying that I am against guns. This isn’t even my house. But I have neighbors who deserve the same kind of sign that I found on a friends site. They are a pain in my butt and a sign like this would be great revenge!

Thankfully I was able to pick up my CPU last night and bring it home. So now I’m back to almost normal, have to do a little bit of catchup bookkeeping! Whoever created that awful malware should be ashamed of themselves! I’d like to say some very strong things about/to that person, but that would ruin my “family rating” on this blog! All I CAN say is that they have created some very bad Karma, and it is well deserved bad Karma!

I think that the real reason she was fired was that she had told her boss that she was going to go see a therapist to talk to about the accident; she wanted to make sure that her lack of an emotional breakdown was not some kind of suppression that would end up coming to surface at a bad time later on.  And the therapist did assure her that she was handling everything perfectly well and to not worry about not having had a nervous meltdown.  I think that she was smart to go see the therapist, and I think that the county should offer counseling to any bus driver involved in an accident.  But the county does not do that, and instead of giving their employees the support that the need, they treat them like disposable food trays.  That’s very shameful.
