Look What I woke up to..

The Health Care Bill passed the Senate last night...Edward Kennedy's Widow was standing by to hear the news...Maybe it will go all of the way now...MSNBC listed a lot of Pluses on the bill. Many things helping Middle and lower income Americans...This is who they listed as the losers on the bill...Since I do not make 200K a year I am not too tore up about this...


LOSERS
Tanning salons, which are getting hit with a 10 percent tax on indoor tanning services, replacing the cosmetic surgery tax.
Progressives. They had to give up on their long-held dream of a new government-run insurance plan so that Democratic leaders could lock down the necessary votes from moderates.
People making over $200,000 a year. A proposed 0.5 percent increase in the Medicare payroll tax was bumped up to 0.9 percent in the latest version, putting the tax at 2.35 percent on income over $200,000 a year for individuals, $250,000 for couples.
Generic drug makers. They fought unsuccessfully to block 12 years of protection that makers of brand-name biotech drugs — expensive pharmaceuticals made from living cells — will get against generic would-be competitors.

Tell me what I am talking about.....

Sisters, Betty posted a picture of a dog on her dog blog called Repeat.....It brought to my mind Daddy calling something or telling a story about 'Pete and Repeat....' I have tried all day to think of what it was maybe a pair of dogs or a pair of mules...Or maybe it was some Brothers with that name???? You all probably have no clue what I am talking about but Brother Richard would have known....

If you need to be reminded...

of how fortunate we are...read this...

It sure makes my problems seem small....

A Find...

I must be getting more like Mike....Last night I went for a walk around the neighborhood and one street down from mine they had these clay pots piled up for the monthly bulk trash to pick up. I decided I wanted them so I came back to the house and got the pick up and went back ans loaded them up...I would have asked but there were no lights on in the house....I have not gone completely over the edge. They had a BIG pile of other crap and I only took the clay pots...The Girl and I will plant seeds in them in a few months...
