Its the law, so keep moving,

In reply to Richard Day, have I told you

This is a week late but I will respond anyway. hahahahaha

I am fine. I mean I will get credit for 35 years of contributing to SS even though I had been working since I was ten. haaha

I will get a check for 1157 a month and pay a cut rate rent? And I do not know why.

But I will be beholden to no one. I mean if I make a thousand dollars a month as an employee somewhere, I lose 1/3 of my wages.

I really do not think I will be around that much longer--no symptoms just a feeling.

I will have no health insurance but doctors did nothing for me the last thirty years.

What bothers me is that I have a floor; I have a place to live without prison guards; I have access to the greatest source of info ever invented by man; I have an opportunity to keep reading and keep on keepin on. -30 below with wind chill and I have a warm place to crash!

I am not even going into the possibilities of Goodwill or other freebee shops.

What I am wondering about, as you well know, is where this country is headed.

The propaganda power of the magnificent rich is unrestrained.

People buy whatever is advertised with monies available to pursue their deepest unconscious predispositions.

So folks buy whatever is sent to them via our electronic devices.

I really do not know who spooky or sooky or crooky is. And I do not care.

But millions do for some reason.

I will have a couple hundred bucks a month beginning in July to purchase a printer and a phone (my children have been paying for my phone for the last four years) and extra underwear...

I would be embarrassed but I lost most of my shame along the tao.

The majority of the American People seem to come to a conclusion.

The conclusion seems to be:

Well I made it and so can you!

How does one argue with this?

There comes to a point in time where one is looking for the package.

Richard Day, have I told you

Richard Day, have I told you lately that I love you? Truly. For reasons that I shall keep to myself, but also for reasons that you publicly acknowledge. You may be the bravest man I know.

But enough about you. I hate Jeff Sessions, too, and everyone like him. The trouble is, there are too many like him now. We've fought these battles and won. Now we're having to fight them again, and the unfairness of it all is staggering.

We are a nation who used to pride ourselves on giving a hand to the needy and to helping the poor. There are some arguments that we overstepped and helped out so much there was no need for the helpees to do much else but take from us. That is so much hogwash when you look at the big picture. And it's a special kind of hogwash when you look at it from down in the trenches in 2012.

The government created our problems and they can damn well fix them. We haven't done a good job of convincing the electorate (or the electeds) that our problems are massive and are not easily fixable, but we as a country are worth the effort.

We'll keep working together, we'll keep getting discouraged, we'll keep climbing that wall, but we'll have to do it in a hurry because we're both on SS and our days are numbered.

Ha!

I know where you are coming

I know where you are coming from. It has upset me to the point that I can't turn on the TV. I don't share my day to day struggles and adventure because there is too much shame hung around misfortune. I don't even watch local news because Gov. Skelator with his eyes swimming around the back of his head has always a new insane proposal for the state of Florida. I can't handle the ugly barrage of negative adds that are being dumped on the air against the Democrats right now in the Tampa market and it is only June. I can only watch PBS. I filter all my news through the internet. Richard you are expressing anger that I hear around here in my neighborhood. You can't put half the children and young adults in poverty and tell them their poverty is their fault because they are flawed. They will some day, going to have those politicians heads.

hahahaahahahahaaha

Well Chris, that's what Medicaid is for. You get to talk to a shrink so that you can be fooled into thinking that you have worth! hahhaahahahahaha

Just as an aside; I think that folks like Fudd keep my heart beating and my soul alive!

God Bless Them, one and all.

DickDay I know your prose is measurably therapeutic for you mental and emotional state and allows you to express - and therefore extricate - the demons within .

However constantly bringing up such monumental pricks and douche bags as Rand and Sessions does tend to make some of us a more than bit depressed.

Looks like a reality show for dentists!

In reply to I thought DD was proposing

Well Fudd stamps work like this:

1. If you are moral and follow Fudd's rules, you get all the Spam, rice and beans you can carry home; once a week.

2. You have to urinate in a cup in front of three testers prior to entering the distribution center; waiting three hours prior to gaining access to the Spam center.

3. You have to sign a loyalty oath and verify that you own no TV's; phones; IPODS; radios; pc's or 'extra' shoes.

There are 50 other rules relating to pornography and Bibles, but I really do not have the time.
