Stamps go up 1 cent Monday

I first heard of it today, they're blaming it on the cost of gas to deliver mail.  At least this time I won't have all my bills returned for a stupid 1 cent more postage, like happened last time.

Can relate, can't stand closed spaces, never mind the noise and feeling of entrapment. You have to understand and comprehend, you would know for sure. I feel for that person, it must have been awful. I have a fear I would ask to get out and they would not comply or be sympathetic; therefore, avoid MRI's. Hope one day they come up with something for us. I hear standup MRI is not as bad but you have to have one in the area, have problems that can be addressed this way and be approved. Fat chance in today's economy.

There used to be a time when you could buy all kinda holiday postcards.  Have you ever made your own postcards outta your old cards?  Just cut off the front, draw a line down the middle, address and send...pinking shears or regular scissors work just fine ....I've done it for the last coupla years and the folks at the post office love it....It's economical and you're recycling as well.   Cat   

Just wishing everyone a happy Monday!  Is it Monday already??    I worked all day Saturday, but was off yesterday.  Whew.  Just stretching the old back muscles a bit and then getting back to the keyboard.

In the way home from school last night, I had to run into the Ameristop to get a gallon of Orange Juice.

Well, as I was pulling in, this lady (about 25) was walking in, sort of rough looking girl.

Well, she was ahead of me in line then and she got her food stamps out, and typically this kind of thing makes me upset. Because, you could see physically anyway, there was nothing wrong with her.

But, maybe there was....... or maybe she lost her job, and is trying to manage. Not that I was being nosey or anything, but there she had 2 Gallons of Milk, Sausage and Biscuit Dough. So, maybe she was trying to get breakfast for her family in the morning. So now all of a sudden I feel guilty.

But, if we weren't in these hard economic times where jobs were scarce, I typically wouldnt be as understanding, because I do feel Welfare is Abused.

What about you?

THEN, another thing......... maybe you will know, Sometimes you see Welfare people ahead of you in line at the grocery store or something, and they ALWAYS have "Name-brand" in their cart. Never Store Brand. Well I shouldnt say Never, but it always seems like your name brands.

Does Welfare require them to get Name Brand?

I was lucky enough to snag a pass to Dancing With The Stars on Monday!  Wow - what a totally fun show that is!  (I am SO addicted!)  The dancing is even more amazing in person than it is on TV - those people are unbelievable.  I just wish I could go again NEXT week, as well.  I think any of the 4 couples could've won, and was sad to see Ian have to leave. Still, my money is on Apolo! 

(BTW - it really is TRUE that televison adds 10 lbs... everyone there is considerably thinner than they appear on camera!)
