He's back....

sorry i didnt post yesterday. i needed a mental health day and i really didnt have anything that interesting to say (yet that doesnt stop me any other day). i called off of work, threw everyone out of the house for the day and slept. it was almost perfect....and then everyone came home.

ok, am i just being an old timer or is pumping money into nasa a losing proposition anymore. i think nasa can just be scrapped until everyone has a job , healthcare and a full belly. this space shuttle has been nothing but a loser since its start. the space station is in disrepair. either get it right or just admit that we havent moved very far since the moon shots in the late 60's and early 70's. we are still using the same propulsion system we used 40 years ago. there are actually some people who actually make a very good arguement against us ever putting a man on the moon. i love conspriacy theories.

echinacea is getting nailed in a government sponsored clinical tests. the man who ran the clinical testing was , at one time, a paid consultant to the pharmacuetical industry. the pharmacuetical companies dont want you buying medications over the counter so of course they put down herbal remedies. the government (and our legislators) get a ton of cash from the pharmacuetical companies so it is their best interest to put down herbal remedies too. i guess what i'm trying to ttell you is dont believe what the media tells you. take things that have worked for you in the past. i really love conspiracy theories.

if anyone from pennsylvania needed another reason to get the hell out of this state heres one more. our legislators just voted themselves another raise. we now have the highest paid government in the country. sure california pays each politician more BUT they have 70 compared to pa having 203. thats right their politicians serve seven time the constituents that pa's politcians do. i wouldnt mind if this state was run well but its not. wouldnt all of us like to vote ourselves a raise. hell, i'd vote daily. the worst part is there isnt much you can do. people here dont care. the same old guys will get more money and fleece us a little more each day.

thursday everyone....one more day till the weekend.

Just came across your blog and it's rather amusing. Keep up the good stuff. Take care.

They don't need a pay raise.

I 1/2 agree with you. The pay raise is ludicrous. Scrapping NASA will hurt the job situation and won't do a thing for healthcare and your belly looked pretty full in your picture.

allupinhere.......thanks
samantha..........right on
patsy.............we need to drink on that immediately. imagine my drunk rants.
bac...............scrapping nasa wont hurt the job situation that bad. putting the wasted dollars back into the economy where they might do good would help or how about putting money into healthcare for everyone. and yes my belly is pretty full (can we see a picture of yours?) but people all over this country go to bed at night without a full belly. btw mine is a glandular thing...and the polite thing would have been not to mention it.stop back anytime.

Shoes,
I can assure you my belly's bigger than yours. I will stop back - you intrigue me. I was married in the Hill District a long time ago - maybe not far from where your picture was taken.

Shoes,
I almost forgot! You mentioned the word polite in referring to my full belly assessment of your picture. I'll bet that's the first time that word was ever used on your blog. Peace!

shoes said...

oh , how dare you. i'm nothing if not polite at all times.
