Comments: Richard N., those of us that spend 5 hours with Bay Watch Capps on a golf course never understand what he is mumbling about. He missed his calling, the boy would fit in well with the Beltway folks in Washington.
Comments: JD, we always want be cautious about posting personal info on a blog like this....I keep a low profile (we never did have that conversation about my former partner of years gone by). And I'll bet that I'm one of the few on this GB that's never tried even one doobie. We certainly dusted off the soap boxes this weekend. Sally, you need to learn to speak up and not hold back so much. And I always like reading Buddy's posts as well. Capps, I never know what you're talking about, but I like reading it. We'll pick another subject next weekend.
Comments: On a lighter note, it's a new week & that means a new Grandone. The lastest pic of Sophie is on the Pride & Joy pg. AdaAnn, she is just precious!! What a cute smile, is she always that happy!
Comments: I'm very sad to make this announcement, but Barney Kemp from the Class 0f 1963 has passed away. He was a great SOCite & friend to many, including me. Here is the note posted early this morning on 63 GB.
Comments: I think our biggest problems with health care are the 2 groups who want to be in charge of running it. Reps want the status quo, which rips a lot of people off & leaves others hanging; Dems want to throw out the entire system & have everyone depending upon the fed gov't to provide.
Comments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3I-PVVowFY&NR=1 Somebody say this is not for real. PLEASE!!!
Comments: Sandy & Don....GREAT job on the pics from the get together....I do believe a good time was had by all !!!
Comments: Oh, yes, Sandy there is a lot of lying and cheating everywhere. Who would condone this? Glad to hear hospitals are still running. As I said it was a quick check on google to find something at both ends of the country but I must have gotten a bad example. Hitler Stalin and Mao were hateful, hateful people. Thank you, John, for noting their lack of smiles. I thought we were talking health insurance. Nothing more. There are many wrongs to right. guess we should go back to watching football! Most seem to agree on that.
Comments: JS-All facts no fiction as much as it hurts my friend Anita Dunn - White House communication director recently praised Mao (killer of over 70,000,000 Chinese that disagreed with Mao) to a High School Program. Her favorite philosopher, It's on tape shocking. We all need to know Frank Marshall Davis (Communist Party USA) - Obama's mentor per Obama 71-79 Hawaii, a Stalin enthusiast. Stalin not only killed millions but starved millions to death that didn't want to play his way. The snakes are stealth but some that put their heads up too high, Van Jones, Rev Wright and a classic Congresswoman Waters on U-tube walking on her tongue. Waters is a utube 5 star star, must see What happen to good reads for our leaders by Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, Ben Franklin etc
Comments: Yeah, I was just wondering. I wouldn't want to sign them.
Comments: Which one, the one for housing assistance, food stamps, child care or medicaid? I did for all. The forms stated that employer must fill out and sign. I had a friend say she wouldn't do it. Only one form had a number to call, and I did. Most of them have casework name and ID number only, no phone no email.
Comments: Sandra, just curious. Did you help with filling out those papers as requested?
Comments: Great pictures! Rick stayed a wake the whole time!
Comments: Dear J.D. I took the liberty of Googling your comment contending: "Hitler, Stalin, Linen (sic) and Mao are smiling in their graves." As near as I can ascertain, it falls clearly into the category you describe as "opinion" rather than "fact". Just a heads-up. Your only friend, JS
Comments: Sally, very interesting articles. At one point in my life, I believed everything I read, now ??? The Terrell article about Renaissance Hospital caught my eye. They're not closed, they are reorganizing, as they did in(Oak Cliff) Dallas, the hospital just across from Kiest Park on Hampton Road, last year. Those that were laid off were rehired. All the articles that were in the news had everyone believing they had closed their doors, turning away people. Knowing one of the Administrators I got the facts..the true story. They never closed. After spending sometime at the Federal Reserve, it opened my eyes to the trillions of dollars paid out each month, not just to the retired, but to those drawing disability for their self or their dependent(s) and those receiving welfare. The largest check I dealt with was $5000.00 a retired government employee drawing his retirement, granted not paid into SS. The least was $7.00 a month, it cost more to produce this check. It's not just our health system that's a mess it's our "OUR" country. I know I said this before...but every week I have a worker that comes to me with a paper to fill out to get assistance. Mind you these are people that work and have a "spouse" I should say a live in, cause they can draw more if the children have "no" father. This past week a worker I had let go brought me a paper to fill out for food stamps. They were given the chance to work. Out of the six week they were with me, they were off two weeks with their spouse, didn't call, we had to call them Then with their child a week. Then they burned them self , again didn't call, just didn't show up....then wonders why I let 'em go!!!!????? By the way their Visa is good till 2011. Wonder how much they're going to cost us!?! One of my clerks whom I sent to school for a measly $4000.00 (for one week), ask me to cut, yes I said cut their hours, cause they worked too many hours to get "assistance" for housing. Oh, and they also draws a disability check for one of their children. They were paying $1500 a month rent! Plus bills. Had to move they couldn't afford it. But the $2000 rims look really good on their car that they just purchased. Now I could talk about the auto industry, but won't. One thing that bugs me, our Veteran's that served our country and were wound draw disability, whether full or partial, have to be re-evaluated periodically. Sometimes their disability $ is lowered, sometimes it's raised. Don't you think it's only fair that the recipients of welfare have periodic drug test? Actually I for monthly. You say it would be costly...not according to what we pay out. Perhaps we've been too generous, our leaders to greedy! It comes out of our pocket, not theirs. Let us not forget what American was founded on. I love my Heavenly Father, I love my Country, I love my family and friends and I love my enemy's. PS. Federal prision is looking better all the time | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
