A New Experience

I haven't commented much on my daily life because well it has been kind of boring filled with numbers and calculations. I know what you are thinking, how can that be boring? But trust me it isn't all glitz and glamor or even a little glitz and glamor. I started on a new experience which isn't really exciting but definitely new and interesting [...]

The Unemployed Are Not the Problem

You know what I am sitting around doing nothing but collecting unemployment checks. That is right you heard me, not looking for a job, wasting money, and laughing at all the suckers who are going to work and paying taxes so I can sit at home eating chocolate bon bons and watching soap operas. I am loving it and having a ball. If you believe [...]

Where I Have Been

I know it seems I have fallen off the face of the earth but I am still here. Been busy with legal stuff of late so haven't much time to do anything else.

UPDATE to Unemployment Needs a Tier V

I received this email today and it was a welcome sight. I am passing it along in its entirety for anyone who feels they want to contribute. This is an issue affecting many families across the United States. Sadly the unemployment situation is not just our country either. Unemployment and no jobs being available is affecting countries [...]

Unemployment needs a Tier V

I haven't touched the subject of unemployment because one it is a touchy subject and two I was giving Congress time to do their job. I am affected personally by it so many will see my commentary as biased, as well. Am I biased? Maybe a little, who wouldn't be when it has a direct impact on them. Anyhow, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has [...]

Thanksgiving Joke

Thanksgiving Divorce

A man in Atlanta calls his son in Los Angeles the day before Thanksgiving and says, "I don't want to ruin the holiday for you but I can't spend another holiday with your mother, we are getting divorced."

The son is shocked and insist on knowing why after 40 years of marriage his father wants a divorce.

The dad says, "We are in agreement, we can't stand each other any longer. Forty years is long enough and I am not asking your permission I am telling you we are getting a divorce. You need to call your sister in New York and tell her because I am done talking about this."

The son frantically calls his sister, who goes nuts when she hears the news. She tells her brother there is no way their parents are getting divorced, she will call their dad and take care of it.

The daughter calls her dad in Atlanta and starts screaming at him, "You and mom can't get divorced not after forty years of marriage. Don't either of you do a single thing until we get there. I calling my brother back and we will be there tomorrow to work this out as a family. Don't you dare do anything!" and quickly hangs up.

The old man hangs up, turns to his wife and says, "Okay honey, they are both coming for Thanksgiving."
