Surely our Government and Congress have lost their minds! I just listened to the Presidential note on this issue of mortgage lender bailouts. I can’t even type the number it is so staggering!!
What happened to let the chips fall where they will? Bankers and Mortgage lenders making horrible choices and people borrowing money they know they are incapable of paying back! What the heck, they deserve what they get.
I am really tired of the US Government bailing out every company, car manufacturers, airlines, banks, mortgage lenders…… Hell, congress is going to control everything. Looking more like communism by the day to me. Where is all our taxpayer dollars going to go? Russia… China… investors.
What is wrong with Congress and Our Government? I think they have turned into a bunch of greedy crooks. I always did say that the Mafia didn’t disappear, they just became lawyers and went to congress.
“Democratic Capitalism”… What happened to free Capitalism?
I apologize for my bad form this evening but I am really angry. I have always worked hard for my little bit of savings and what little I have acquired and I really resent the US Congress getting ready to take more. Grippe, I can’t even die, at this point, and leave a damn thing to my kids! At this rate, if I die my children will OWE the US Government the darn interest on the death tax!! :(
Another great internet radio show hosted by Dave White of www.internetauctionnewsradio.com . I was in the live chat for the show when Dave was interviewing John Lawson “colderIce”, CEO of www.3rdpo.com. The interview was interesting and informative and I do learn new things everytime I listen to the show. I had to agree with John on many things when it comes to marketing and selling on the internet. Although I have never met John, I must say he had a great sense of humor!
Just a note Basics to Business airs on Saturdays 10am-Noon est.
The birds are arriving and my plum tree is in full bloom. With all of its problems, it didn’t die.
The Hibiscus plants that I keep indoors all winter will be much happier when I am able to move them outside again. I don’t put them out if the night time temps are below 50 degrees. They cannot take the cold.
Now, the most recent picture of the garden. Hubby got the tiller out and got the soil turned. Isn’t that the prettiest dark soil you ever did see? I’ll be taking the kolrabi out of the cold frame and transplanting them when they are just a little bigger.
A clean slate again. Through the summer photos and blog coming soon.
“Practicewriter.com, the place to play with and learn html is now solely sponsored by onlineauction.com. Thanks to Concho and Chris Fain for doing this business together!!! Practicewriter.com had already been running for quite some time, but Concho had taken it down when the “evil” place (you all know who) decided to stick their noses in as the sponsor and tell Concho what to do and how to do it on his own site. So, instead of dealing with the “evil” place’s (how to say this nicely) “junk”, Concho shut down the site. This was done to the great distress and dismay to those of us who depended on this site for learning html, making templates and perfecting listings before actually listing them.
Now, there are other sites out there, yes, but they are not as easy to use in my opinion. One of the main reasons for that is their windows for writing your listings/templates are just too darn small. Practicewriter.com uses a really nice big window. You can actually see what you are doing. On top of that, you can also save and retrieve your work later.
So, besides the convenience, what does it mean for OLA? Well, ANYONE on the internet can use Practicewriter.com to build their listings, make templates, learn html, create web pages or just play!! Now, with the announcement of the sole sponsorship and the OLA logo being at the top of the html box, EVERYONE that uses it will become aware of OLA!! What a great marketing tool for OLA and a great listing/template tool for everyone else. All on one page!!!
Again, thank you Concho and Chris Fain for a job well done!! The users of Practicewriter.com are sincerely excited and grateful to have it back again. OLA sponsoring it is just an added bonus for us!! www.practicewriter.com ”.
Thank you callmemomo for letting me share this news.
OLA Radio, with host Dave White (http://www.ola-radio.com.), aired Thursday, Sept. 11,08. The program started with a tribute to the victims of 911. Many members of Online Auction were in the live chat room asking questions. I won’t go into to many details because you can listen to the archived programs here http://blog.ola-radio.com/. Everyone is welcome to listen to the live shows which airs every Thursday evening from 9-10 pm est. Another great show, Dave!
I consider myself an independent when it comes to elections. Out of sheer frustration I have written myself in as a candidate many times. This blog venue finally lets me posts some of my observations and questions. As I have posted before, this country is a republic and not a democracy.
My on going concern is that the general public doesn’t seem to comprehend this concept. Election years make me positively crazy, so I try to educate a few folks about how our electoral system works. I cannot begin to tell you how many people are ignorant and have no clue! (Our school system has, certainly, contributed to this deficiency.) I have argued with many folks trying to convince them that there is no federal law that requires their electors to vote the way of their majority, that they represent. The elector is still, I believe as of this writing, governed by the State Laws they live in and represent. And not every state has the same rules.
It would really be refreshing if some of the news media types would educate the listening public about how the election process works in this country! Instead of just focusing on the stupid sensational news. It would be refreshing if their focus could be on our Congress and legislation they are pushing through while the public is being distracted by the junk!
I am an avid listener of talk radio and television news shows and have been, sadly, disappointed of late. Most of us know that television anchors are biased toward the liberal side of elections and most of us are aware that talk radio hosts have been known for slanting toward conservative. But, really, I think that they are all in it for the money and advertising dollars! I don’t care what side of the election line they chose to tout! I might, just as well, have just read the AP wire instead of having to listen to a FULL day of pig and lipstick stories! Hell, the Enquirer would have done a better job of journalistic reporting.
What has happened to our unbiased Journalists? Are they all gone?
(This writing has no structure, it was meant to be an “Automatic Writing” exercise. Don’t get too frustrated reading it.) Knowing that the event would be coming to an end very soon, and that I needed to experience this NYC happening first hand, so that I would be able to reflect on it in a wacky [...]
Gus Goes Hunting ! Howdy folks, So now that I am in school again, I had this lil’ homework assignment. To make a 30 second animation in After Effects, to be used in an “Exquisite Corpse” game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_ corpse). Well, the idea for this came to me in the morning on a Thursday, I had the whole [...]
