Health Savings Accounts

Listening to Steny Hoyer on the House floor.

I have come to the conclusion that Health Savings Acounts could work . . . .

IF . . . .


Every person at birth should be issued a Health Savings Account card (call it a Social Security Card)

with which they can draw indefinitely on a account which is

fully funded

by the federal and state governments

Trump: I deserve some of the credit for finding Planet 9

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/where-did-planet-nine-come-from/
https://planetplanet.net/2016/03/30/planet-nine-from-outer-space/?dom=icopyright&src=syn

But where (fake news) did it come from? (fake news)
The answer Trump gave is (fake news) astounding:

"we kidnapped it. Planet Nine may have started as a rogue planet, wandering the universe without a star to orbit, before our solar system's gravity captured it. And I said - And I said and this is something the Nazis would do -and did."


He went on to say "and this is YUGE. And so Rogue - SO Rogue - you wouldn't believe - that we are considering - we are considering - naming it after Sarah Palin. And I desrve some of the credit for her going so rogue when she ran for the office of Little President with Romney - who choked so bad."

Asked to comment, Sarah Palin said "I can see Planet 9 from my house."

Trump: "I almost named it Kellyanne, for my propaganda girl - in fact, I think that is a good title for Kellyanne - Propaganda Girl -

sounds good, doesn't it? Propaganda Girl ! so we settled on Sarah Palin.

I remember - I have a photographic memory - such a memory you wouldn't believe - when Sarah Palin came to eat pizza with me in Trump Tower - and I thought - because I'm like a really smart guy - that a pizza looks like a planet ....

and I deserve a lot of the credit for that"

THESE TRUMPSTERS ARE DEPLORABLE !!!

My wife and I listened to the last part of Trump's press circus yesterday - the part after it got crazy .
OK, so it was crazy from the point where he opened his mouth,

Anyway, later I was waiting in the car for Mel and listened to the first part of it replayed on what I thought was a news station. After the first few questions the radio announcer cut in and ended the replay there and made it sound like that had been all of the briefing ... then he said, this is HEAVEN radio.


so I immediately changed the station. I landed on some right-wing talk station. The wing nut announcer was going on about how Trumpy had really wiped the floor with CNN and the rest of the media. He got all exercised about CNN and this stuff that was leaked by John McCain/i]. Then he said that McCain should be booted out of the Senate and should spend the rest of his life in the Phoenix Hilton ... in fact, he ranted, McCain should have to be a busboy at the Phoenix Hilton, etc. etc.

These idiots just eat this crap with a spoon! They don't care what he says. I mean after all, he could shoot someone on 5th Ave ...

Procrastination and Ambivalence Society update

Just wanted to give you a heads up:

I was getting some sweet tea from the Chicken Express down on Washington street and I noticed a sign about taking checks.

Apparently they have decided not to take checks at that location anymore.

This will go into effect December 31, 2005 (not that anybody cares.)

What if the Mayans were right and it IS the Apocolypse

Considering the bang up year this world has gone through, I started to wonder

if maybe the whole Mayan calendar thing wash't right after all

and we are all fixing to bite the big one

I mean, maybe we just need to adjust for Mayan Daylight Savings Time.

Well, not with any specificity, but it will tell if you are older, like some of us here

or


it will indicate that you are young (not that that's a bad thing)

Bankruptcy ... Well, here I go





For a few years now I have not been working much due to my health. My wife and I have had a lot of medical issues. Her health has gotten to the point that she is going to have to leave her job. We have 1 or maybe 1 1/2 paychecks left.






we are already in so deep that we don't know what else to do. We have appointments to apply for disability. We have been looking at moving out of the country either to Mexico (mexit) or my oldest daughter want us to move to where she and her husband live in Montenegro ... don't know how we can afford to get there.

Any ideas would be appreciated ... but enough of that. The reason I got on was to post this picture I found on facebook.
