Well…just wanted to add another one on ole Snyder’s state of the state address from last week and the one glaring thing that was was not in it…specifics…particularly specifics on how his policies of tax cuts for the rich, attacking unions, and hurting women have created jobs here in Michigan. And you know how the repubs like to take credit for any good news even if they had nothing to do with it…like the auto recovery that was a combination of the companies, the unions, and the federal government and had nothing to do with any repub effort…don’t you think that if Snyder had any data to back up his boasts that his policies were working that he would have led with that in the address? He can’t because it doesn’t exist…we are next to last in unemployment rate and are projected to be 49th in job growth over the next three years and our performance mirrors that of other states where the discredited repub economic policies have been tried. So, this so called tough nerd needs to be sent back to the business world where he comes from…where ceo’s can not perform and still get millions of dollars while the workers pay the price…just like the people of Michigan have paid the price for the past 3 years….geez…

January 22nd
Well…it was kind of a lost day yesterday with getting no sleep the previous night…but, that didn’t translate into the afternoon nap that I was looking forward to…my sleep patterns have become so weird that I am just going to stop thinking about them…slept okay last night, though, so I feel pretty good today…this being good stuff is really starting to pay off and I think it is going to be the habit from now on…didn’t do a lot yesterday but I did get a few things done and I hope to continue today…actually started to eat more veggies yesterday and have found a salad dressing that makes salads palatable so that will help in eating more healthy…I didn’t say healthy because I still like to eat meat…not much to do today…I am going to clean some and then try to figure out what to cook for lunch….spent 23 of my last 75 dollars on food yesterday but that should get me through the weekend….not sure if I’m going to have enough money for cocktails this weekend but that is not a bad thing…more later…
Another one bites the dust…
Well…just ran across another neat little tidbit in the news a few minutes ago that I just had to share…it seems the former governor of Virginia was indicted today for taking gifts and bribes while he was in office…and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…and by that I mean a crazy-assed privileged repub who thought that the laws don’t apply to them. To make this even better, this idiot was the tea party darling who did more to egg on the legislature there to take away a woman’s right to control her own healthcare and forced doctors to perform unnecessary medical procedures on women who want abortions. Just another instance where the connected repubs think that they can do anything they want when they are in office…or in business and that the laws that the rest of us live by don’t apply to them…glad they got this prick….geez…
More lies from Lansing…
Well…I have been gagging since the state of the state speech that our “wonderful” governor delivered last week…full of boasting and taking credit for the few jobs that have been added since they gave away thousands of dollars from retirees to their corporate masters…and the worst is his tries to make the radical, right wing fueled policies of his tea party cronies seem like they are supported by the majority of the people of Michigan. They are not….more than 70% of the people didn’t want the additional restrictions on a woman’s right to control here own healthcare…but the radicals jammed it through the legislature and Snyder signed one of the most restrictive laws in the nation. More than 60% of the people didn’t want pensions to be taxed to pay for more giveaways to the rich and corporations that have not resulted in the adding of one job…but the legislature passed it and Snyder signed it…more than 60% of the people didn’t want a “right to work for less” law that is a direct attack on the middle class and the unions that helped make the middle class possible…so, when this liar tries to make himself and his radical, corporatist, religious cronies sound mainstream, don’t believe it…look with your own eyes and your own wallet…geez…
January 21st
Well..this damn software lost another one yesterday so this will have to be a combo of today’s and yesterdays…it was an okay day yesterday and I did have a bunch of stuff to do with helping C on getting his water flowing in his house again and generally getting dirty which was okay…slept really, really crappy and have been up since 4:30 but I still have energy so maybe it will be okay..have already gone out to do a little grocery shopping since I was out of food but spent 23 bucks that I don’t have…oh, well…I do need to eat…have been thinking about cutting it down to every other day, though, just to see how the body will fare….I used to do that all the time when I was trying to lose weight so maybe it will work again? Not much to do today…I do have a bunch of stuff to do around here today so that will be on the agenda…more later…
Not getting further behind…
Well…it has been a long day and a busy one but I can’t get farther behind so I am going to cheat a little and get a short one out…and try to redeem myself tomorrow with some really great ones….and if you believe that, I have a wonderful bridge to sell you…have been working with C all day trying to get the water going in parts of his house again and got most of it done….had to dig out the insulated boots I haven’t worn in two years to keep from freezing and it worked somewhat…stayed warm and got things done…and now I am waiting to hear from G to see if she wants to go out and have a couple…it will do me in if she does but I need to get back in the habit of going more than just hanging out here…okay, need to rest some before going out again so I need to end here…
January 19th
Well…sitting here feeling like crap and it’s not from the cocktails…I really wish it was since that is usually over by the afternoon while I know this bug is going to haunt me through the week….it was a normal Saturday yesterday and I didn’t do much but watch some stuff on Netflix and veg…I do need to go over the C’s house sometime today to close it up after the inspections….but, I think I’ll wait a while until I feel better…slept okay last night but with this bug, it doesn’t feel like it…not much to do today…going to just veg it out again and probably take a nap so I can stay up and watch the first “Sherlock” at ten tonight….more later…
Oddities….
Well…have been trying to recover today but I think I can’t recover from this bug until it gets really, really worse..it looks like that’s the path I’m on for the weekend so that is a bunch of crap…there have been some odd things going on…at least odd to me…have been getting Neil Young’s twitter feed lately and he is really going after the tar sands crap that is fouling large swaths of Canada…I know he is from there and I shouldn’t be surprised that he is socially responsible…but it is nice to see that even at this late date, he is still trying to make a difference….and it has been such a good weekend for those of us who think Chris Christie is a lying bully…the latest is that his thug aides withheld Sandy aid to Hoboken just because the mayor there wouldn’t give contracts to one of Christie’s cronies….and this time, the mayor has evidence of it all…I can smell indictment all over this last bit of news….and it couldn’t happen to a bigger thug…as I said in an earlier post..”bye, bye, Christie”….should do one more for this one but I can’t think of another right now…so, I think I’ll make the next idea the catch up post for the weekend…
January 18th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but both Tom and I weren’t feeling too hot so we skipped pool for the week…I did go out to have a couple with K but that might have been a mistake…still have no energy today and feel like crap with a fever so it looks like a veg day for me…I do have to clean the microwave today but that will be all that I can muster..didn’t sleep well and I could take a nap right now and it’s only 9…I will try to choke down the second cup of coffee and see if that helps…not much to do today…going to just take it easy and hope the lungs don’t get worse….and come back for two more of these to get caught up…more later…
Wandering around…again…
Well…I am still feeling like I have no energy even after lunch with three venison tacos and I’m sure that it is not eating enough….but, how do you eat if nothing sounds good? It took all the energy I had just to walk across my place and sit down here….and, with crap happening in politics…those idiots are going back on vacation after being back a week…and they bitch so much about the unemployed and how they think they’re lazy so they won’t extend UI benefits…since people are living large on the 300 bucks a week avg they get….that wouldn’t even pay my low expenses…what if you had children and a house payment? I hope the repubs pay in this years election…bastards….and now they are back at taking away womens rights to control their own bodies…once they are pregnant, the new laws that the repubs are pushing would make the rights of the fetus supercede the rights of the mother…essentially saying that the woman no longer has any rights to her own body if pregnant….what the hell is wrong with the repubs…I guess it goes back to their “faith” that says that women are property and should do what their husbands tell them to…and now, in Wisconsin, these asses have just introduced legislation that would allow a woman’s family to trump her decisions on abortion…even if a grandmother, or mother, or father objected…the wishes of the mother would be trumped…leaving women second class citizens with less rights than anyone else…this crap even hurts to write about…so, I’ll stop here….
