Doing with less 2010

Doing with less 2010


Its another year gown by and we are still asked to do more with less
Everyone is cutting back now a day to afford just to survive. City’s, States and companies are doing the same to stay in business.

People are asked to do with less and take a cut in pay. Working fewer hours no matter how you look at it is a cut in pay. Some of us are asked to except a lesser health plan. We as consumers are spending less which controls the stock market and that controls our retirement (pensions&401K’s).

We who are getting closer to retirement can’t afford it now. We have to get jobs in Wal-Mart to supplement what we receive. Social Security is not nearly enough to live on and Medicaid does not cover all the medicine a lot of the seniors have to take.

We as a country could and should do better for our citizens.
Staring by cutting back on what we give the World Bank and other counties. Let’s keep some of our money right here in the USA where it belongs. Maybe then we could afford healthcare and other service that should have.

Last but not least I haven’t heard the people who run this country talking about cutting their pay or benefits. Lets start with our dear old President. Senators, Congressman all along down the line, lets give all of them the same healthcare they want to give us and have them pay into the Social Security fund so they can get their pensions from there when they retire. Have them play by the same rules we have to play by. Maybe then they well pass laws for the People by the People.

The American Dream 2010

January 14th 2010 19:58

The American Dream 2010

It was early August morning. The sun was shining and the birds singing. The warmth of the sun was already reflecting off the cement.
People were walking around in short paints and short sleeve shirts. Even though it was hot people were still running around boathouse row. As they ran they drank their water and wiped the heads with rags.
I was sitting on a bench watching them run by. As I sat there I couldn’t remember how I got there. I could smell liquor on my clothes. Then I remembered that I was in a bar last night but I couldn’t remember where. I sat there with my clothes-dripping wet. I looked down; there was a red tint to my close. Like some one trough die on it.
I sat back on the bench and looked up into the sky. It seemed so quite and tranquil. I feel deep in thought. The noise around me stopped. Then the feeling of loneliness came over me. I had nothing; I had no one were the thoughts that rushed through my head. My hart started beating. It felt like it was going to explode inside me. The harder it beat the more I went into a daze. My eyes wouldn’t open. Then I saw my life flash before me. I could see a young child around six years old and another child around two. They were running around a large back yard. There was a good size house attached to it. Who weir they and why was I thinking about them. I don’t remember them or the house. I don’t remember a wife, children or anything about my life. I do remember that I was some kind of salesman. I would travel all day talking to people but about what I don’t know.
I feel so empty, so alone. Like I didn’t have a purpose in the world. I could feel tears rolling down my eyes. I just sat there and tried to put all the memories and faces together that was now shooting into my mine. I had to put them in order. There was a blond woman stand with her back towards me. I couldn’t see her face or hear any voices but I knew she was crying. I felt her sadness.
What is going on? Nothing made sense. All these feelings feel real and not like a dream. I tried to wake but I couldn’t
Tears started rolling down my eyes again. Again I tried opening my eyes. This time with success.
It was late afternoon and I was covered with sweat. I got up and started walking. As I walked I could feel myself floating above the rooftops. I feel like I was in a movie.
All the sudden I stop floating and hovered over a street where a several people were gatherd. They were standing in the middle of it.
I was about to find out what was going on. Two children were standing there with the blond woman over a man lying that was not moving. There was another woman that looked frantic and was crying also. I could hear the ambulance coming in the background. As I looked at the man lying on the ground I was shocked to see whom it was. It was me! As I saw myself lying there I knew that I was going to die!
It all came back to me. That was my wife and two children. We were living the typical middle class life when everything came falling down. I lost my job and it got tough to pay all the bills. I was working two jobs and my wife picked up an extra job on the weekends. But it wasn’t enough. Our house was going to be foreclosed on in a month. The bank wouldn’t renegotiate our loan. The only way I saw that my family could keep the home we work for so long for was to take drastic action. I ran into the street on purpose hopping to get hit and die. I know that was the cowardly thing to do but this way my family would collect my insurance. This way they would face being homeless. I gave my life to make sure.
The Government and the banks let us down. I worked two jobs and my wife work a job on the weekends to show the bank that we would do anything to save our home. That wasn’t enough. This program that the government has helps only the banks.
I had to die to keep my house. My family has to do without me so they could live in our home.
I had to die for them to live!!!

This is not a true story that I know of but I bet somewhere some one has thought of it because the banks and our government has failed to keep the American Dream alive for the American people.

Even though no one helps America it is time for us to stand up again and help Haiti, If you like article please go to the link below and donate to the Red Cross

No happily every after

December 19th 2009 20:01

Broken hart
Broken Hart



Once upon a time there was a young man who was happy go lucky. He lived life every day to the fullest. Then one day he met his love, dancing down the street. It didn’t take long for them to fall madly in live and get married.
They both worked hard and played hard. He worked from early morning to late at night. They family had everything except their father-husband there with them. He was trying to make a living for them but as usual he didn’t realize that they rather have him. He finally realized what his family wanted. They wanted him around more so he stepped down from his high paying position to a lesser position, a job to spend more time with his family. That position paid less and the family had to do with less. His wife didn’t like that. She was use to not working and having anything she wanted.
After twenty years of marriage it finally caught up to them. The arguments when they were together became command place.
One day his daughter look up at him and asked,” Why do you and mommy argue all the time, he answered, when we stop arguing it will be time to start worrying because then we wont care what happens to our family. As long as there was something to fight for the marriage would stay together he thought.
That day of reckoning came and after twenty years their family broke up. It was a very sad day for the kids but the parents knew it couldn’t go on. That it was better that he left and maybe his wife and the kids would live a calmer life. As most families he became a weekend dad, but he called his kids every night. He wanted to let then know that he loved them very much.
He stay by himself working all day and most of the night in a business he started. He was getting very lonely and prayed to the God above that he would met someone that would totally love for what he was and no for what he can give her. For years he would go out with several different woman and have a meaningless relationships with them. He was never really happy and always was glad to be alone again.
Then one day he met this very charming lady. She had a glare in her eyes a smile in her voice. He knew that she was special when he met her but how special she really was, was a pleasant surprise. She was a unique person, someone who would make everyone who met her feel good to be in her presents. To be around her was to be in front of an angle that was here on earth to spread happiness and joy. Could it be that God had finally answered his prayers? She was way more than he had asked for. He found a meaningful relationship with her that grow into a love that was strong and every lasting. Everyone that met them both could see how very much in love they were. It was a love story that you read in a book or see in the movies. His family and hers fell in love with each other. It was like they were all made for each other. They married and lived very happily but only for a short time.
Once again his hart would be broken. His soul mate died suddenly and he was left along again to morn her death forever. There could be no one to take her place; she was truly one of a kind. Once again God would take away the reason for living. When she was alive he had a purpose. Now there was nothing. What was sense of looking again, to fall in love, for it to be taken away? There will only be loneliness and despair there will be no happily every after for him.

target Stores does it again

November 18th 2009 21:18
I remember around last thanksgiving and Christmas emails were going around about Target. While Wal-Mart and other big stores would help the Vets and let Salvation Army set up in front of their stores Target wouldn’t.
When I got this email it reminded me why I don’t shop in Target. I rather go to K-Mart or Wal-Mart and spend my US Currency. Lets keep our money helping our economy.

Meet Me in the StairWeel

September 12th 2009 20:56
This was sent to me in an email. It is so apropos since 9/11 was yesterday. If you have any belief that there is something or someone who is watching over us all, (God or who ever it is for you), Then you will find this very in lighting. There is another part of this email that I find very wearisome, so think long and hard about what you are reading.

The health care debacle

August 16th 2009 18:28
The health care debacle is very easy to fix, I think. Then again I am only an individual that has been caught up in the mass of healthcare. At one time in my life I did without healthcare, I couldn’t afford it.

The Politicians first have to stop tripping over their feet and look right in front of their eyes. The solution to the problem is right is in front of their faces, it already existed
