Surprise Surprise, Oh What a Feeling!

I had lunch with my mother yesterday. She is off to Arizona today for her annual Spring Training Trip. At lunch she saved my life. She gave me an anniversary card. She said she had to give it to me a day early, because she would be gone on the actual date.

Yoiks! I had almost forgot!!!!!

Luckily for me Peggy has been swamped with work. The evil side of me thought that I should keep this a secret and surprise her with a card and gift, and play the guilt card very heavy when I caught her short-handed. But I couldn't do it.

After lunch, I called her and told her the news.

Yoiks! She had forgotten too!

Isn't that great. Two calender challenged people finding true love in the crazy, fast paced rough and tumble world. We laughed and decided that we should probably go out for a nice dinner or something, if we could find the time.

I am so happy to share my life with such a low key calender impaired woman. The fact that she is my calender girl only makes it better!

I love, I love, I love my calender girl
Yeah, sweet calender girl
I love, I love, I love my calender girl

Sick of Union Bashing

I hate Scott Walker, what a jack-ass. Union buster.

And I am sick of all the bandwagon Republicans supporting him and leading him on. And I am most sick of their seemingly #1 beef with the unions.

"these union workers have it soooo much better than the rest of the workers in America."

"these union workers need to realize that nobody else gets these great benefits"

Yeah, nobody who ISN"T unionized gets them. They do not get them because for some dumb ass reason they are willing to bend down to the capitalist pigs who are squeezing REAL Americans OUT of the middle class. Rather than bringing them down to our level why don't we try to get up to their level.

Don't people; real people, real workers realize what is going on? This country is swinging the wrong way. Those that HAVE want more, and they want to take us back to the good old days. You know the good old days. The days when they could say "take it or leave it" to workers. The days when they could say "there are 100 people that want your job".

Dig in, fight for what you have earned, and support one another.

The other thing I love hearing is that these "long ago negotiated pensions" are now too expensive and cannot be met. Well hey fat cats, I negotiated my mortgage long ago, and yeah at the time it seemed that making that payment for 30 years made sense, but now I am not so sure I can afford it.

What do you say we just let it slide?????????
