Baby’s Got Blue Eyes …

You know, nothing in the world will melt my soul like a pair of beautiful blue eyes, long dark lashes and dark/black hair on a man!
I was at the drive-thru at lunch, flustered because the young man didn’t seem to understand that I simply wanted a small chili, plain potato and diet drink.  When I [...]

Home Again

  Well, I’m staying home today.  Trying to stretch the fuel. 
 

  I am just so … disillusioned.  I may also be impatient.  We tried to contact the agent who is reviewing my information and will determine if I can be covered for errors and omissions.  It’s been two weeks and no decision.
 
I’m experiencing [...]

Follow The Money

I tripped across this item this morning.  From Investors Business Daily:  The Soros Threat To Democracy
How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely “NASA whistleblower” standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute , which gave him “legal and media advice”?
Interesting [...]

Some People Will Believe Anything

Ok, here we go.  I’m going give you my position on that bastard leader Ahmadinejad and his visit to Columbia University — it’s pig sh*t.  Simple as that.
Columbia is a liberal haven.  To have invited this war criminal in the first place was a slap in the face of every soldier, fire-fighter, policeman and volunteer [...]

Plastic Withdrawl

I never realize how addicted I am to plastic.
Lord help me.
I bank with a credit union.  It serves me well.  I’ve had few problems overall.  However, on September 2 I tried to use my debit card and …. declined.  D@mn thing was expired.  So I called the CU.  The chick on the phone assured me [...]

Ebaying

Well, another first. 
I’ve had an Ebay account for a couple years.  Mostly so I could bid on stuff for my bike.  But today I started selling.
Nothing fancy.  Just a few blazers and a pant suit.  I can’t wear them anymore and I need the cash-ola.  I’m going to try to go through a bunch of [...]

Citizens of Nitro — Throw the Bums Out

Good lord.  If I lived in Nitro I think I would kick every one of the city leaders out on their asses.  In yet another story on the antics citizen Karen Fritz and her attorney Mike Clifford are considering filing contempt charges against the city.
I’ve about half heartedly followed this story for a few YEARS [...]

Still Flustered.

Yes, I am still flustered with this new “business”.  I still have not received word on the Errors & Omission coverage I submitted for eight days ago. 
That means I still can’t contract with any business in order to write policies to earn commissions.  I had to move money from savings to checking to pay bills.  [...]

Child Support – Mother/Father — Treat Them The Same

I was browsing the online edition of the Charleston Gazette and saw this headline:
Ohio man gets probation, restitution over missed child-support payments
Now, it’s just a quick note, not a real story.  This guy owes $50,000 in restitution for his children.  Granted, I don’t know the backstory to this one, but I have my own history [...]

A Bad Choice of Donor

I have a relative, 27 year old female, who is expecting a child in a few weeks.  She isn’t married, has a respectable job and gets by o.k.  She probably makes $11.50.  She’s made her share of young adult mistakes.  She doesn’t have a very good automobile, but she rides the KRT to work.  She [...]
