    The "New" Retirement

    How about bumper stickers? Well the words might not fit, but I bet the message would still be worth wearing on the rear end of my used, and completely paid for, car.

    Cartoons

    Have you ever watched "Ed, Edd, and Eddy"? One Thanksgiving evening we were all stuffed to the gills and had a little wine in us, and the show wa on. The characters had discovered that pulling off their outlines made them collapse into puddles of color. We proceeded to have a deep...

    Has Anyone Seen Gran Torino?

    I think my days of watching movies filled with racial and ethnic discord are over. I love Clint Eastewood, though, and will always watch his old Spaghetti Westerns on Turner Classic Movies, though.

    Families and the Mortgage Crises

    I think that many have bought the anti socialism hype that the wealthy keep floating around, and that it isn't the enemy that many people are led to believe it is. Add in the fact that many people aren' t taught the difference between socialism and communism and I can see how the fear keeps...

    Manufacturing making a comeback?

    If they stopped paying CEO's huge bonuses on top of obscene salaries, these businesses might not need tax incentives to bring their operations back inside US borders.

    The "New" Retirement

    It does seem a desperate attempt to shift responsibility to Obama. Conservatives would do better if they just shut up and applied themselves in the work place!

    Taxes Done in Time?

    We get taxes done and sent during February, usually, to avoid the added stress of filing too close to the due date. This year we should get a chunk of change back!

    Fourteen?

    If there isn't, there should be. A cap at 3 kids should be enacted, if it hasn't been. After that, the regular tax rates should be applied!

    Bake Sale Imminent!!

    Whenever I am faced with providing a dessert, I break out a canned pie filling and a pre-made, graham cracker pie crust. I add a little whipped cream to the top, once the filling is in the crust, chill it, the shave a few chocolate curls to go on top of the whipped cream. No baking, but yum to...

    Who is your favourite late night host?

    I loved Johnnny Carson and never missed The Tonight Show while he was the host. After he retired, I just couldn't get into Jay Leno. Don't think I can watch the new guy, either.

    What would you make?

    Some families use the kitchen table for crafts as well, so it would be cool to make a table that had drawers for the crafts items. One piece of furniture, two uses!

    Are floating cities the answer?

    If you weigh the cost of the floating city against the cost of refugees flooding existing cities that are ill equipped to handle the migration, the floating city might be the cheaper option!

    Knee injury

    You would have to talk with your doctor. Cost is based on a lot of things that would vary depending on location, and instruments used..

    Anyone Else Like Sci Fi Channel

    I chuckle when I see old sci-fi shows with computers that feature rows of light blinking on and off. Did anyone know that those lights had no basis in reality?

    New Credit Card Regulations

    I have seen more "invitations" to spend on my credit cards then I did last year, so I think there may be a push on, since regulations will kick in during 2010. The offers are coming more frequently.

    Ready for the Cable Company Switches?

    I'd love to know the reason they are pushing for everyone to make the switch. I am one of those folks who thinks something has to be up with this for the government to help people get converters. Am I the only person who finds this really odd?

    Does Anyone Have...

    How in the world can a snack glued together with marshmallow creme, ever be healthy? I like to mix a little honey with peanut butter to snack on. I guess I needn't feel too guilty about doing it, now! LOL

    Money spent wisely

    I plan ahead more. Luckily, I have been making my own cosmetics and skin care items for a while now, so there's no need to actually cut back. I just have to plan bulk purchases a little further ahead than usual.

    Fourteen?

    I have a feeling people will lose interest before the purchase is made. Right now it's media feeding frenzy, but even that has slowed some during these last few weeks.

    Fourteen?

    I heard the same tape, and it doesn't seem like an unusual state of mind for her to be in, seeing as she thought one of her kids was missing. That reaction really should have no bearing on her situation, IMHO
