Cowards

Why do people hate other people? What did the terrorist accomplish by killing all those people in the Taj Mahal Hotel in India? It's nothing more than a sadistic game they are playing. What kind of war is that? They probably studied and prepared for it for months and months. Did they get what they wanted. Killing innocent people is about as sick and demonic as you can get. One of the Terrorist was caught and the first thing he said was, "Don't kill me, I don't want to die yet". That remark should be grounds for murder. According to a news report he also said they were trying to kill 5000 people.
It must really feed their sick ego and now they are already working on their next target. Maybe the lesson we can learn from it is to stay in the smallest hotel you can find or attend the least crowded event. This is just a few of my thoughts on the subject.

Thankful

Thanksgiving is here and I am thankful that my eye surgery is over. I went in Monday for my followup appointment on the progress of the left eye. Everything was perfect. The Dr. said they had a cancellation and if I wanted to I could have the surgery on my other eye done the next day. I jumped at that opportunity. Otherwise I was going to have to wait until December 4th. How blessed can I get. It is over and done with and I am seeing good again. What a Thanksgiving.

Ranting Again

Should we give money to bail out the auto industry? The world needs a big brother to keep little brothers in line.
They should start at the other end. The housing and auto industry are going broke because they can no longer sell their inflated priced cars and houses and the reason for that is because our income has not been inflated to keep up with it. Except those at the top can inflate their own income. This is where big brother could give us a hand. Here lies the solution!! Give everybody a super big bonus so he can buy another car and make the house payment.

I haven't been elected to anything yet so don't ask me how it can be done. You need to elect me first and then I'll hire somebody to figure it out.

Cool Glasses

I cannot began to tell you how happy I will be to get my other eye fixed. One eye has a new artificial lens which makes the vision perfect and the other eye still needs glasses. It's driving me nuts. If I want to read something, which happens very frequently, I put on the glasses and with the glasses made for bad eye sight in both eyes it makes for a very miserable reading experience. I now need to hold the reading material under my nose in order to make out what it says. To top that off I have to wear these dark glasses while outside. I didn't realize how gorgeous I looked in them until my 14 year old Grandson told me how cool my glasses were. I asked him if he would like to have them and he said, "you're kidding, can I really have them" ? I told him when the two weeks are over he is welcome to them.
I drew a picture of me so you can see what I look like in my cool glasses.
I had to squint one eye closed while drawing the picture so if it looks a little odd that might be why.

Eye Surgery

Tomorrow morning at 9 AM I will be having surgery on my left eye. The cataract will be removed and hopefully I will be able to see a little better. I have been putting in two different kinds of eye drops in the eye. I have to do it four times today. I guess it prepares the eye for surgery. Tomorrow they put in an IV and drug me up a little. Maybe it's so I can be still while they are working on it. The surgery only last a few minutes, but I will be there for about two hours. That is what she told me. Two weeks later I will have the other eye done.
Everybody I know that has had it done tell me there is nothing to it so I am not worrying about it.

Pet Peeve

This only bothers me slightly, but I always seem to notice it. When I went to school the teacher seemed to think certain things were very very important. If you are inside it's called the floor. If you are outside it's called the ground. Now I hear a lot of people, and I am talking about things I watch on TV, referring to the floor as the ground. For instance, "it fell on the ground". If you're inside there ain't no ground around for it to fall on. To me I always associated ground and dirt as one and the same. Now, don't go getting all excited about my awful grammar and bad punctuations and I already know you ain't supposed to say, "ain't no". It's double negative or something. I also know that "ain't" ain't even a very good word to use.
Now what do you think about this? Should I just ignore it because maybe the floor is so dirty they can't tell the difference?

Signs of the Times

A woman writes a letter to her bank.
Dear Sirs,
In view of what seems to be happening internationally with banks at the moment, I was wondering if you could advise me… if one of my cheques is returned marked 'insufficient funds,' how do I know whether that refers to me or to you?
