I see that our House of Representatives, have now voted........down party lines........for somewhat of a type of gun control. It's very sad to see that few Republicans can understand, that this is NOT a ban on weapons, just a control of certain weapons. The bill will now go to the Senate, where the rumor is that it will be voted down, here again simply by party lines, neither party really has the needed majority. It seems to me that, the Republicans go down hard on abortions with the excuse that we are killing lives ( unborn lives) in a true sense, but after birth, they couldn't care less what happens to these poor souls, even to the extent that they have voted down putting money into the budget of mental health. Wish I knew exactly what they wanted, but understandable since, they themselves do not know. Very difficult to really understand, the rationale. In these old eyes, the Republican party is no longer the GRAND OLD PARTY. It simply has become the party of ignorance, NO and You do it my way, REGARDLESS !!!! Personally, I don't care if you are a Democrat , Republican or Independent, makes no difference, I just ask for you to use the brain, you were given and to look realistically at both ends of the straw so that you understand the total problem..............before.......... you make any decision. It seems that most Republicans only have the ability to look at one end of the straw.
We are suppose to be a society of intelligent people, working as one to be able to continue to be an intelligent society, and still be able to have an independent opinion.
I watched the Jan6 panel show last night........the first of several more to come. If this isn't enough for some half-brained Republicans to change their mind, I'm afraid they will just go down in history as TOTALLY brainless with the balance of the party.
LIFE IS ABOUT CHANGE
Each day that passes, has now become more then just a day. It has become a chore and is only remembered by ....................what you throw away.
The Swedes have a word for cleaning in the latter part of life. It is called döstädning. It simply is getting everything in order. I use it as getting" RID OF ALL THE STUFF COLLECTED OVER ALL THE YEARS". My philosophy is that if you didn't use it, look for it, or cared about it for the past 5 years, you will not miss it for the next 10. Interesting part is that I have found a way to fill up both my recyclable and my garbage containers for the next 6 months. That way I'm getting my monies worth for sanitation plus I am now able to see parts of my once 1800 sq ft corporate office, known as.........my basement, or lower level of my 3 level house.
Since retiring from SAS in December of 1994 I have started six businesses all of which I was hoping to pass on to either my children or my grandchildren I got the businesses started and then apparently lost interest in each one of them one by one but the remnants of each one of these businesses is still resting on my corporate floor. If I was only able to see in the future and see how much wasted money was going to be put into these businesses I would have never done it. I would have gone back to the golf course so they say.
Of the six businesses that I started four of them had the potential to succeed and become very successful if only the time and the thought was really put into them I regret some of those moves but life is what it is. Now there is nothing left to them except memories and a lot of advertising material that I have no idea what to use it for.
THE DAY HAS NOW ARRIVED
Happy Birthday to me, able to make it one more year. Guess I'll go and have my coffee.
See you soon.
