WHAT IS ABUSE?
Today I received my notice from the Social Security Admin about how much my monthly Medicare medical insurance will by and the grand figure of how much will be deposited to checking account. I was happy to see that nothing changed as it will for some people. I want to thank our leaders for that. At the same time I am not happy with our leaders for not giving us seniors a cost of living increase this year and also the next. But wait didn't the House and Senate vote to give themselves raises of $4700 and $5300. And let's not forget our Congressmen who added $10,000 to their salary putting them almost to a $200,000 salary per year.
What are we seniors supposed to do, collect aluminum cans to make ends meet.
REMEMBER there is another election coming in 2010. Why don't all you do gooders remember what happened this year and when election time comes look for new leaders and bring change again, this time for the better.

DA BEARS!
Since my wife passed I really got interested in football. I follow Notre Dame, the Colts and the Chicago Bears.
As for Notre Dame this year, what can you say. They will have a new coach and some new players next year and hopefully will improve their game.
The Colts had a 14-0 season until Sunday when they coach pulled the regular players out of the game and put the rookies in. When Painter, the young quarterback went in everything went down hill and the Colts wound up loosing their winning streak. If you saw the looks on Peyton Manning's face whenever the camera was on him, he didn't look too happy.
Where did the Bears come from? Cutler was playing like there was no tomorrow. They were winning but then the Vikings came back and tied the game 30-30 and the game went into over-time. With a fantastic pass by Cutler which was caught in the end zone for a touchdown and the Bears won 36-30. Exciting games like that are good for the heart. HAHAHAHAH.

LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
My grand daughter, Delaney, had to get out of the house today so we went and picked up my $7.00 from Heavenly Ham because I forgot the coupon on Christmas Eve and was told to bring my receipt and coupon back and they would honor the coupon and give me $7.00. That's the way to do business. From there we went to Pet Smart to look at the fish, cats and other mammals that are there as well as the current animal toys. And then it was off to McDonalds for a well earned meal of chicken nuggets for me and a double cheeseburger kids meal for Delaney. With our stomachs full we headed for the Dollar Tree where everything is $1.00. Being the big spender that I am I let her pick our two things. WOW. With Christmas just a few days past she is lucky she got that.
What my title suggests, LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED, refers to Christmas. All Christmas merchandise was in the back corner and taking it's place up front were hundreds of Valentines Day items. From cards, candy, artificial roses and other kinds of flowers and any other love me tender items they could squeeze onto the shelves. It saddened me to see how quickly Christmas had disappeared. Lets keep it in our hearts.

THERE WAS A BLANKET OF WHITE THIS MORNING.
It started yesterday afternoon and continued into the evening. This morning there was a blanket of white fluffy stuff that covered everything. It was beautiful. There were cars parked on the street which didn't help the plowing situation. The plowing started about 10:00 last night and went on all night. I live in a division where they plow our driveways sidewalks and streets.
As I was having coffee and reading the newspaper this morning I noticed a police car pull up and park behind two cars that were parked in the street. I was curious so I watched from my window and sure enough the policeman got out of his car, dusted off the plates and proceeded to write a ticket for each car. In total there were three police cars driving through the sub-division writing tickets for the many cars on the street. The village, I'm sure, made a fortune this morning.
But I still say the snow looked beautiful.
