OK, back to normal. Whatever, that is. Can't blame Gary for this one though. Primaries are starting and some of the whining is hitting my nerves. I just had to blow some of it off. It does bug me though that the very people we need to get us back on track would never get elected cause they aren't cute enough and would tell people we are gonna have to make some real sacrifices to get back on track, but, that's for a different forum.
So, did anyone get super ripped and dance on some tables this weekend???
Last night was my 50th Birthday party hosted by my dh. Good times were had... no alcohol for me BUT there was plenty of other folks I can't speak for. It was a WONDERFUL party and I am very blessed!!
Sorry Bargoo, I was and still am curled up in a fetal position trying to hold on to the tiny bit of denial I had left after the following:

After all, when it was first established, life expectancy was 60 and the benefit age was 63. Only 6% of the folks that put into it would receive benefits. Now, expectancy is in the 80's and boomers want every penny x 15-30 years of sitting on their butts back that they put in regardless of whether or not they have a pension from their employers, are perfectly healthy and capable of earning a living and they don't give a darned what their kids and grandkids, etc. have to go through to give it to them.
Sorry, but the idea of "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." died for the boomers when they buried JFK. Now, all that consumes their thoughts is, "Well, I already got(and wasted)everything that my parents could leave me. Now, what can my great-grand-children fork over before they are born and can do anything about it?"
Do you honestly think I could keep my mouth shut when some r*tard gets in my face screaming, "LESS GOVERNMENT!!!" while holding a sign that says, "Don't touch MY SS and Medicare"? (which account for over 1/2 of our projected deficit, BTW). That would just scream, "Screw my kids, I want mine!!!" to me. Really, could I keep my mouth shut and not tell the selfish PoS what I think about that???
So, now how do you like the way I vet(vent)?? Do I still have your vote?
Been up since 6 after a hectic weekend, got lots done today and am about ready for bed again. I think I'll go garden for a while instead. If it were winter, It'd be getting dark by now and I could go to bed. Damned summer!
See now, Ruthie, that's why you're my hero. Just a few short weeks ago, you complaining about Winter. People often say, "...but, I can't complain." Bull!! I'm a woman. I can complain if the sun's a shining or the rain's a pouring.
