just putzing around today

PEACHES

Just doing a bit of this and that today. Its a beautiful day here but I have been playing around with this blog a lot today and doing other little things. Right now Im watching the race and the baseball game.... mostly the race. My favorite is winning right now so Im crossing my fingers XXXXXX
Tomorrow will be a nice day too so after church we will probably go shopping etc etc...We don't have to be home until 3 because its a late football game tomorrow and hopefully its not in Green Bay so the traffic won't be too bad. I would like to get a new pair of slippers, Mine have bitten the dust and a pair I got for Christmas last year just don't fit right...... better not ask for things like that in the future...... He got the right size but they were those fluffy kind and I think a bigger size was needed then..... My son meant well so thats what counts anyway and I try to squeeze into them once in a while but ........
I added so many things to the blog but Im just testing them out,,,,, isn't it fun? I have more fun with that than I do writing in here though. LOL

Hope everyone will have a nice and blessed Sunday

Busy day

I bought a new printer today

One that will work with my computer

I had a nice one but it didn't work with the new computer so Leo is going to keep it for his use.... probably until the paper and ink I gave him is gone... But I did print out my journal anyway. now I have a big book. since November 2003 but I had gotten a new computer and changed my email address and couldn't get the first part back. I dont remember what name it was but Im pretty sure I deleted it.
Now I just finished putting the pictures in my computer so I can save them to disk.... It will be like one of those books you can get that has a cd in the pocket in the back of the book..... Isn't the tree accross the street pretty? It turns color so fast and then its gone but its beautiful while it lasts. Hope everyone had a good day today

billions of taxes

This is too true to be funny.The next time you hear a politician use theword 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it's releases. A.A billion seconds ago it was 1959.B.A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.C.A billion hours ago our ancestors wereliving in the Stone Age.D.A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth.E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and20 minutes, at the rate our governmentis spending it. While this thought is still fresh in our brain...let's take a look at New Orleans ...It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.Louisi ana Senator,Mary Landrieu (D) is presently askingCongressfor 250 BILLION DOLLARSto rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...what does it mean?A.Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528.B.Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.C.Or... if you are a family of four...your familygets $2,066,012.Washington , D.C <>Are all your calculators broken??Accounts Receivable TaxBuilding Permit Tax CDL License Tax Cigarette TaxCorporate Income TaxDog License Tax Federal Income Tax <>Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Permit Tax Gasoline Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax) IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Luxury Tax Marriage License Tax Medicare Ta x Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service charge taxes Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax (Truckers) Sales Taxes Recreational Vehicle TaxSchool Tax State Income Tax State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Telephone Federal Excise Tax Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax Telephone Fe dermal, State and Local Surcharge Tax Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge TaxTelephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax Telephone State and Local Tax Telephone Usage ChargeTax Utility Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Watercraft Registration T ax Well Permit Tax Workers Compensation Tax STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the world... and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened?Can you spell 'politicians! ' And I still have to press '1' for English.I hope this goes around theUSA at least 100 timesWhat the heck happened???? ?

Nice morning

We had a nice morning and I got some things done....... Leo is cleaning out the gutters after a little fishing.... he got 6 Walleye today and he came home happy. He doesn't bring the fish home so that makes me happy... :) I
I did my laundry and puttered in the yard and took out a few halloween things, like my pumpkin rugs and the big light up pumpkin and orange witch for the front porch. Little by little it will get done.
Is anyone going to watch the debates tonight? I don't think I want to. I've been watching so much of that stuff lately that I'm sick of it to tell the truth. I wish it was voting day and it would all be behind us. It lasts so long that everyone is sick of it and you wonder if they even have the best candidates.... But it is the way it is and I just don't feel like watching debates. I know who I'm voting for and I'm not changing my mind......anyway they will have it on the news for the next week I bet, LOL

Rainy cloudy day

Its raining its pouring an old man is snoring....... well it's not pouring now but it may as well be. Its not a good day to do yard work so I just cleaned a bit and opened my book and read..... Could do laundry after all it is Monday. Maybe I will yet.
Not much on tv either, I'm watching cnn and they are still worried about money. If they don't talk about elections its all about money. I guess they are really worried and I suppose I should be too. They say people are buying gold...... but the price of that is going up more than it was before.... I don't have any money in the stock market so so far we don't have to worry about it I guess...... Prices of everything will be going up I suppose...... I have enough stuff, Just have to worry about the necessities.... you know food and heat for the winter and "gas" for the car.
This blog site is getting better with each person that joins..... soon we will all get used to it and probably will like it more than aol. :>)
We went to church yesterday and they have one of the stained glass windows installed from the old church. It has been cleaned and fixed and is prettier than ever... Can hardly wait until we have them all installed..... maybe by Christmas I hope. Then we stopped at the store and I got a fall tablecloth and some pumpkin pot holders, a Paul Newman movie and some other things I needed.
When we got home a friend of Garys was over with his daughter and his girlfriends little girl and 2 of the cutest little puppies you ever wanted to see. Her dog had puppies and we almost bought one but Twinkie kinda snaped at it and I decided I had enough with my 2 dogs and cat....... But gee was it ever sweet. It was a Yorkie and only 6 weeks old....... Today Im happy I didn't cave in cuz boy would I be tired today ........ Puppies can be a lot of work, especially til they get house broken.
All our favorite teams lost yesterday _____ was a bad day for sport fans.
Well, thats about it for me today, Hope your having a good one
