Well…running a little late today and it was another grocery run that did it….had to get paint to do the wiper arms again and some ribs that were on sale….and the damn milk jug leaked all over the car so that was a pain….slept okay last night and it was not another 5 am wake up so that was cool….didn’t do a lot yesterday but I am going to try to get some stuff done today….I need to get in the habit of doing at least a little every day….but right now I need more coffee and to read a little news….it was warm enough to put the top down this morning and that was fun…while it’s warm this week, I need to get out and take a drive in the dark…that’s always fun…more later….

It’s bribery…again….
Well…now, this little tidbit just came across the twitterverse and I just had to say something about it….last time the repubs tried to destroy peoples lives by repealing Obmamcare, they resorted to trying to bribe a few senators with huge amounts of money that would go to their states…one of those senators, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, is in the line to get those bribes again if she votes to kill people to give the rich tax cuts. Those bribes? This is just too rich…if she votes to kill people, Alaska gets to keep Obamacare….yep, you heard that right…if she votes to screw over the rest of the country, her state gets to keep Obamacare and all of the protections against denial for pre existing conditions and gets to the keep the subsidies that make insurance affordable…and, in the letter to her…ole McConnell made it clear that these conditions only apply to
Alaska…everyone else is shit out of luck….typical repub bullshit…divide the country into little fiefdoms and bribe other repubs into killing people just to say they passed something…I’m still thinking that passing this monstrosity may just be what we on the left need…that maybe the stupid people that keep voting for repubs will stop if they start dying from it….geez….
One little thing…
Well…just read a little article that pointed out another terrible fact of the repubs trying to screw over the country by repealing the ACA…the repubs are using it to punish states that did the right thing and expanded Medicaid for their lower income citizens and any state that is controlled by dems…this is done by changing the formula for the amount that the feds will cover…and slanting toward the repub states that stiffed their people and left them without any healthcare. They are even punishing rabid right wing states if they have dem governors…like NC who just threw out their crazy assed repub governor and elected a dem….even though people hate this new bill, the repubs have ignored all of the rules and tradition of the senate to get it passed….how about one and a half minutes of debate next week? I am so tired of these assholes….
September 21st
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and i had some fun going out to celebrate with K and J…but, I ran out of steam around 10 last night so it was a short one….slept okay but I am getting into the habit of waking up around 5 and I don’t like it….didn’t get much done yesterday other than making a huge pizza for lunch…and that will feed me for two more days….it is nice having food in the fridge again and knowing I can afford to eat again….there is some really weird weather coming for the next week or so…it is going to be in the 90′s through the weekend and I can’t remember that happening in the end of September in a long time…might even go to the beach Monday…not much to do today….going to just ride the bike and veg most of the day…it is warm enough to get out right now but it is still dark so I guess I’ll have to wait a while…..more later….
People are going to die….
Well….as usual, the repubs are trying to drag this country backwards to the bad old days of people dying for perfectly preventable illnesses…and the big thing is they just don’t give a damn…these smug assholes just stand there grinning as they lie and lie to you, me and everybody else….32 million people will be without insurance if this despicable “healthcare” bill passes….people undergoing cancer treatment will now get that treatment cut off as soon as this monstrosity passes…and people in my boat..before Medicare but with the need for insurance will see their premiums skyrocket up to 10,000 percent…one estimate puts the cost to someone like me at 140,000 dollars a year…and who can afford that? Again…these assholes don’t give a damn…and the only thing keeping me sane through all this is that, if they pass this bill, they will lose both the house and senate next year and they could possibly be killing the repub party completely…couldn’t happen to a bigger bunch of assholes….what should be the penalty for murdering their fellow citizens?
What a relief….
Well…am going to be talking about this for the next couple of days….it looks like I may be retired but I’m not sure yet…still think I have something to offer to an employer out there and I am going to continue to look for work that would make me smile….but, what a relief to have money coming in that I can live on until then….was completely out of food other than the last container of ham soup that I thawed out yesterday and spent 76 bucks for groceries this morning….and then 20 bucks for gas since the car was empty…and I owed C some cash so I’m already 300 bucks down…but that leaves me 700 for the month and I think I can live on that….just have to not go crazy this month…..going to make a home made pizza for lunch today and I can’t wait….more later….
September 20th
Well….up at 5:07 again today and I’m sure I know what it is….way too much stress lately….but, that is over…checked my bank this morning and the first SS payment is there so it is retirement day…and food day…and gas in the car day….and the stress is gone…even did a little happy dance when I saw that the money is there…didn’t do much yesterday but today will be different…I am going to cook today…making a home made pizza for lunch and then Man U plays at 3 so I will have something to do this aft…and maybe drinks with K to celebrate….I did do some cleaning yesterday to take my mind off of everything…I should dust and remove the cobwebs and I just might….more later….
Trying to do some politics….
Well…with everything happening, I really haven’t had the mindset to do too much in politics but I am going to try now….there was some good news on the idiot trump from the other day when the NY times reported that Paul Manafort has been warned that he is going to be indicted for his many crimes and that I hope has to do with trumps campaign and the Russian money that was spent to elect him….it appears that they have Manafort on quite a few counts and now the squeeze is on to get him to flip on the rest of the trump criminal enterprise….with revealing that Facebook has been issued warrants to go after the ad buys that the Russians did to interfere, that leaves Jared Kushner on the hotseat since it was his job to do the social media portion of the campaign especially the “micro targeting” that swung the 77,000 votes that got the idiot elected. So, as I’ve said before, the noose is quickly tightening on trump and his cronies….and the deliciousness of a perp walk for this crew is growing ever closer…maybe a “Thanksgiving surprise”…impeach….
My stress is through the roof….
Well….It has not been a good day for me today with the uncertainty of my first SS payment being made on time tomorrow….I just know there is going to be a glitch and I am going to be scrambling again to just survive….I did make a little cash yesterday so I can pay the electric bill next Tuesday but there will be no food until I figure out the glitch and get it fixed…okay, that’s not true… I do have 11 dollars for food but only have 11 days to get things fixed so I can pay my rent on the 1st…. and didn’t sleep at all last night and tonight appears to be the same….oh, well….I guess I’ll take it as it comes…
September 19th
Well…running really early today since I’ve been up since 5 or so….still worried about the cash ending up in my account tomorrow….not sure what I’ll do if it doesn’t….slept okay last night and woke up with a sore right shoulder so I must have slept on it….didn’t get much done yesterday but have a nice HH with T….always fun to hang out with her…lots of laughs and good conversation….but then back here and did nothing for the rest of the day….the Lions did win last night so that was cool but I didn’t get through the game…just not interested enough to stay up til 12:30….not much to do today….might just clean some today but it looks like it’s going to rain so I may take the day off the bike….more later…..
