Several things are on my nerves right now. So much so, that I feel compelled to share. This is just my opinion. We can still be friends/relatives if you disagree with me.
#1) The 100 year flood.
We weren't here for the flooding that took place 2 weeks ago, thank goodness, because I have heard it was pretty bad. What annoys me about it is that parts of Lubbock are down right DISGUSTING from it, still. Specifically the parks. We went to the park on Wednesday it it was so NASTY! The benches and picnic tables are covered in a dirty film, it stinks, it was just GROSS! Clean up, Lubbock!
#2) Mosquitos
An unwelcome side effect of all the rain we have gotten. Even Deacon has mosquito bites, and he is hardly ever outside! They are out day and night, warm weather and cool weather. GROSS!
#3) The Economy
Now that the US stands on the verge of a recession, let's bail out all the stupid banks and stupid companies who made stupid decisions. I'm pretty sure I could support my family for the next 100 years on the severence packages that the CEO's of Fanny and Freddie are going to get. (I'm speculating, I really have no idea about their severence packages.) Several months ago, back when we started paying the same price for a gallon of milk that we were paying for a gallon of gas, many senators, presidents, and other people who are supposed to be really smart said that the economy was FINE. Well, that's because the economy always seems great when you are a millionaire. Funny how you never hear from working class people on the news who are actually feeling this in our wallets - maybe it's because we're AT WORK.
#4) My House
My house is in a perpetual state of mess. I pick up when there is a spare moment, but those moments are few and far between. Besides, when I do have a free minute, I might need to shower, brush my teeth, etc........
That's all for now.
I feel much better.

I love your new background!
On the financial bailout, this goes back to FDR and the New Deal, Social Security, etc.
It scares me to death to allow this money to be handled by the government, as they do not manage the taxpayers funds appropriately.
When I have gotten myself in a mess financially, I did without and paid my bills. Why can't Wall Street do the same thing? Not every person in the US can be a homeowner! Some are born to rent.
The socialistic mentality that is permeating this country makes me want to barf!
Peace out!
Love,
Mom
I agree 100% with ya on the economy...
It's fine huh?
Sure....Yeah....
As for Lubbock not cleaning stuff up...
It stinks (literally) that this hasn't been done. Makes you wonder what your property tax goes for huh?
And I agree with your mom on the bank bailouts...
This might be an option, but it could be handled FAR better.
Better yet, help out the American public to stimulate this yucky economy with that $700 gazillion dollars....And let me buy a gallon of milk for under three bux!
