you know, it's been awhile since I have posted anything but at 5am this morning, I was lying in bed and the words were just coming, but I certainly was not getting up to put them all on paper. Now here it is close to 5pm and I finally have a moment, while I await some trick or treaters.

I am on the fence with my opinion of social security getting a COLA in January 2012 after 2 years without one, however when they get it, their medicare payment increases at least that amount if not more. Where is this money coming from, the additional funds the government says it doesn't have? If we are in debt how can they "RAISE" any kind of payments? Let's be real. Just leave things be for the time being, get our country in solid financial order before giving out more cash we don't have! HAHA... joke is on us heh? financial order? I swear, they need a good old fashioned every day housewife to balance the budget, to say to congress NO MORE, like she would say to her children, yes Congress is like a brood of kids, crying and stamping their feet when they don't get their way. Start think about "WE the PEOPLE" not we the Congress! Please someone put a stop to the INSANITY of it all. STOP STOP STOP IMMEDIATELY any assistance to ILLEGALS. my thoughts to illegal aliens, "If you want to be here, do it right or leave. America does not owe you anything. There is a right way and a wrong way. Do it right and you can stay, and I should not have to press1 for English!!" damn that pisses me off! rant over for today

The wind and me

what do you do when the wind is blowing in the wrong direction and you have no ability to change it?

yes the wind is blowing, fiercly furiously, I see no sign of change, I fear
it is blowing in a storm like no other and then it will be too late for me to blow it back the other way.

I stand here trying to block it, hold it back, but I am running breathless against it and not making any progress.

I am afraid my fight will be in vain and I will be the one the wind has taken its toll on in the end, the one who will have been knocked around and down and torn up by the gusts.

Do I fight the wind or do I fight for me, or is it the same battle in the end?
