TAX POEM

Be sure to read all the way to the end!
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers, Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me to my doom...'
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the

We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middleclass in
the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'
And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?!?!?!?
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!!!! YOU can help it get there!!!!
GO AHEAD - - - BE AN AMERICAN!!!!!!

Taken off Schedule at Radio Shack

Yesterday I was taken off the schedule at Radio Shack.  I guess I made one mistake too many.  Sunny decided to take me off the schedule.  That's Radio Shack's way of firing.  They add of things and then justify why they are doing what they are doing, but do not fire. They take you off the schedule.  She had promised me she would not cut me down to 10 hours, so she just took me off the schedule.  I took a 20 dollar bill in for a customer and did not give him the correct change back.  Why the customer waited to get home is beyond me.  I had prayed that I did not have the gas to get down there and that was answered.  LOL.

 

I now have to get out and look for a job and look a the finances to see if I can make it on just my SS money.   I may have to cut back drastically.  Are there any money's available to SS income?

A terrorist comments on the war on terrorists

Aw hell, let's just bring the boys back home from Afghanistan and Iraq where the terrorist seem to be fighting them and fight them on your own soil.  Then you can get to be a terrorist.  Then  you can see the war up close instead of on TV.  Gosh, 9/11 is too far away in time and you need another reminder here your  own soil with some real blood.

  How about the Chicago Sear's Tower?  How about Disney Land or World, that would be a lot of bloody mess there.  Let's see, we have to figure out something that is going to attract a lot of attention and create havoc.  Indianapolis has an insurance center....Darn you Americans, I know we can shut down the Internet and cable systems across the US and that will really freak them out....Now where is major satellite system?  Hmmmm.   We can do it on one of our religious holidays and no one will question us... and if they do then we will scream prejudice.  I know! we will take over all of there pizza delivery places and introduce a nasty flu virus into their systems. They will never figure out where it came from. 

Come on bring all the troops back, We want you to bring them back so you can fight us here!!!  Stupid shits!!!    Obama is  my buddy

More plumbing problems

For the third time I have had to call Mike about the backed up plumbing outside.  When it starts to back up, it starts flooding outside.  I notice it when I going somewhere.  This time I was washing clothes on the complex here and able to get hold of Mike quickly.  The plumber is outside now and has put a camera and found snake eggs in the line meaning a break in the line some where.  I just don't want to wake up and find a snake in my bed with me.  I just went to look for some papers and found a Black Widow Spider in the box...LOVE Florida....I need to go through the papers or just throw them all away...Need a nap now...before I go to work...

I want to go home

I live in a new place and I really like it.  But, some how, I keep feeling like I want to go home.  I graduated from high school from New Orleans and both my parents died there.  I was an Army Brat following my father's posts from Georgia to Germany back to Georgia to New Orleans.  I left New Orleans for a job that I quit and found other jobs...I stayed there after someone told me why don't I go back where I came from.

I kept looking for help from the Church either Catholic or Protestant.  It wasn't until I committed myself to AA that I realized that no one was going to help me.   Help came from various places when I did not ask for it.  I am now 63, overweight, and my body falling apart. I found this place I am living in now from a lead from my sponsor in AA surprising.  But I still have to find a job and and I am dragging my feet.   I am broke and have to wait until tomorrow to do anything.

More stopped up plumbing

Once again the plumbing is stopped up.  I called Mike but it was a Friday and he was not able to get hold of the owner and so all weekend I have had to wake up and go down to the clubhouse to have bowel movement.  What fun.  Now the whole area knows my routine....Got to get ready to go to work ....

Leaving Radio Shack

Most of my whole life has been in and out of electronics.  I really liked Radio Shack.  I was a customer of Radio Shack as a customer way back when I was 13 years old, 50 years ago.  I enjoy dealing with the  customers of all ages coming in and solving their problems.  But, somewhere, the Shack has lost touch with their customers and their employees.  No longer do they care about either one of them.   I met my district manager and the only thing he wanted from me was to get some training thing done by the end of the day.  There was no mention of transfer.  I was so intimated, that I did not mention my transfer either.  Therefore, I am left with no option than to quit Radio Shack and look for another job closer to home since the gas prices are now $4.00 a gallon.  I can no longer afford to work in a place that I enjoy and use the skills that I have had most of my life.

Radio Shack also only cares whether one sells cell phones.  They do not want prepaid but the ones with a contract.  Once again, they don't care about the customer, but are looking for revenue coming in.  It is difficult for me to work in an environment that is against my principles.  Principles before personalities.

Quick and effective acting

After Dave's actions could not unplug the toilet,etc. I called him and he told me the next step was to get hold of the handyman for the property.  I went across the way and his words were, "If I see him...." I chose not to rely on him since I had seen him drinking beer in the afternoons.  I introduced myself to another one of the guys who turned out to be an Army veteran.  I told him I was an Army brat and my first memory was eating a piece of bread from the back seat of a car.  The next thing I knew he was going to find Mike, the handyman.  Mike showed up and tried to snake out the drain for the plumbing and had to call a plumber.  They came and fixed the plumbing. 

Had I been living with Wei, Pat would have gotten pissed off or on finally, threatened Wei with nonpayment of rent or called the plumber himself and deducted it from the rent.  So, it really is better here, after all...LOL

Trading frustrations of one place for another

Whenever you think that you can escape things like landlords not fixing sewer lines at one place, and you move then you might find that you are faced with the same problem only worse at the other.  When I lived with Wei, Pat and I kept smelling sewer smell every time the dish washer would be run or the laundry would be run.

The first thing I faced was the shower was backed up.  So I thought could just pour bleach down it and solve the problem.  Well, then I used some stuff I got at Dollar General.  It seemed to have solved the problem...Then, I noticed on the way to work, the shower had leaked.  I did not know there was an overflow drain...and the drain was actually stopped up...There was a time when I had to go get a plunger for the toilet and had to plunge the toilet, because it was stopped up....it kept getting worse....Finally when I went to work I noticed that there was toilet paper all over the place.... So I called Dave, the guy, I pay the rent on this thing.   He came out and we got some heavy duty drain cleaner stuff and he poured it down the drain.  We I came home and flushed the toiled and guess what....still a problem...during the night..I forgot not to flush and not there is toilet paper all over...This morning I needed to move my bowels big time.   Can I flush?  Hell no.  Here I am with a toilet full of feces aka shit, paper, piss and I have to pee again...LOL  I feel like going back to Wei.  I did not have to drive 45 minutes, or have a stopped up toilet.

Occupation:
Age:
Location:
Interests:
My background is Scots-Irish. I am a direct descendant of Irish Billy Dunn who came here in 1808 from Ireland. My father was William Perl Dunn. His father was William Pearl Dunn. His father was Henry T. Dunn and William J. Dunn also known as Irish Billy Dunn was his father. Irish Billy had 10 children.
I feel like I was born on the road. The first thing I remember was reaching down into a cooking pot for a piece of bread while we were in transit from Georgia to Pennsylvania when Daddy was transferred to Carlyle, Pa. I love eating tomatoes and I remember eating them at Aunt Heddy’s and Aunt Annie’s house in Colquitt, Ga., before we left. I am not sure when the memories are, before or after. At any rate, I kept being asked where I got my red hair from and I would say from eating tomatoes, smart ass that I am.
Then, we went back to North Augusta, SC, while Daddy was in Camp Gordon, Ga. Then Daddy had to go to Germany, and he take us with him. We were all excited.
