Oh yeah, one last thing.

I like to keep the t.v. on while I clean the house, apartment, rather... Better yet, home. A commercial came on a bit ago for government college grants, as well as loans. LoL It makes me wonder if my friend was right: All of this news about the budget cuts, you know, those severe ones that Californians are facing, is just put out there to scare people. He further feels, "They can*t do that.", meaning that they can't just up and take from people like that where it could put people in danger. I feel they caaan. And, now I have learned my dad feels the same way as my friend. We shall all see. I am hoping for the best... And a miracle. It could happen. *SD P.S. I think the website that was promoted in that commercial that I just mentioned is www.college.gov. By the way, the man on the news just said, "...everyone has to go back to work tomorrow." With this economy and world the way they are, some don*t have the day off. Some absolutely can*t, given their profession they have chosen. So, thank you to all whom work today, all to whom duty calls. AND A GREAT BIG THANK YOU, ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY, 2009, TO ALL WHOM DIED FOR OUR COUNTRY, FOR US, FOR OUR FUTURES. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, BRAVE SOULS. I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN, JUST THROWN OF WITH ECONOMIC AND MEDICAL STRIFE. Sincerely, SDRoads

Hi

Well, it is Holidaytime. I am sorry I didn*t post my usual celebratory holiday eve greeting. I, as you will, or have seen, have been hit most hard economically, as well as medically, as of late. Literally, I am just waiting for the next blow. My dreams, hopes, and aspirations have been shattered. I am referring to ALL of my dreams and goals, at this point, for the other dreams that were not directly impacted are now being affected through a trickle down. I have been through this before, under different circumstances, and will get through it again. Only, this time, it will take A LOT longer to bounce back. I literally do not know what is going to happen to me and my family. It is somewhat, and I do mean somewhat, surreal. I feel like I am in the movie Gone With The Wind, with a different situation, when all I really want is to feel like I am in The Wizard Of Oz, in the scene where Dorothy goes to the safety and comfort of home. "There*s no place like home. There*s no place like home." I feel like if the government had known, and that*s a big "if", that this was going to happen to Californians, they should have given us more than A 30 DAY NOTICE! I write 30 days because after the initial shock of the blows, one would have approximately 30 days left before the sh¿t hits the fan. So brace yourself California. California has been hit uniquely hard. And those blows are going to affect over half of the state, many of them being innocent children. Is this due to bad planning and wasteful spending, on behalf of our government officials? Is this due to all the regularly raised salaries of Californian officials? This while our rents are regularly raised, along with everything else. Even if their salaries were not regularly raised, which I doubt, they still were getting overpaid, in my book. You know, it is to the point I don*t even want to vote anymore. I have a voice unheard. But, I won*t allow that to happen; for them to silence me and downtrod on me to the point I will even be too oppressed, tired, weak, hungry, and spit upon, to not make it to the polls. AMERICA IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE, AND WE ARE BLESSED TO BE HERE! It is just a few of these officials that have been running this great state that I am not so sure about. Have they been running us like cattle down to Sheol? As God as my witness, I will bounce back from this! I have missed so much recently, due the latest news, along with medically, what felt like, being on the butcher*s table the other day, due MY health insurance, Medi-Cal. A lot of what has happened to me physically, was due to my medical care, or dare I say, lack of it, through the boney hands of Medi-Cal health insurance, provided by the state and Anthem. And, it gets to the point you get so weak physically, it is hard to even stand up again, literally. This, letting alone the fact the average Californian must burn the midnight oil, so to speak, to even put food on the table, not to mention keeping a roof over the family*s head by paying exuberant, never reaching a limit, rents and mortgages. Yeah, mortgages, too! One day I*ll post the long mathematical formula that shows even homeowners are getting financially raped. AND THE POWERS THAT BE OF CALIFORNIA ALLOW FOR THAT!!! I promise to post that formula, along with detailed analysis and fact. I just don*t know when I will be doing it. I am going off air for awhile. I do not know for how long. As long as it takes to bounce back from this devastating chaos. I think the powers that be of California should take a long hard look in the mirror before depositing their salaries and making that next mortgage payment. Actually, I feel ALL officials of America should do that. This reminds me of genocide. Yeah, Obama, for his campaign, had a bleeding heart for the genocide victims of ANOTHER COUNTRY. And that is great, I just hope he realizes what all is happening here. I have already missed enough recently, due this slaughtering... my high school reunion\40th Birthday Bash, my Memorial Day picnic, heck, even my financial crises workshop, put on by our local assemblyman. (chuckle) I shall miss no more! Maybe the officials should do what ABC 7*s Susan Lucci did. She cut back on her salary to help spread the wealth. In this day and age, perhaps every age, it is the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. What is it they say? There is no more middle class? Down with the fashion shows of the likes of the Obama girls, toting their overpriced clothing, while other American children are in rags, many through no fault of their parents, and, rather obviously, not of their own. What happened to the days of people going to an event and getting dressed for the occasion, AND NOT LEAVING THE PRICE TAG ON?! God Bless California! And God Bless America! Wait, God Bless the World! Down with greed and hungriness of power! We are ALL equal in the eyes of God. And, through Him, we ALL have a voice! In his heart, there is no class system. God Bless God!! By the way, "the money runs out in July" for California. Again, brace yourself, no matter who you are, what you do, or what class you are in. First it happened to the teachers, then to the gay and lesbian community, and now, to 2/3rds, roughly, of the general population. If you are a resident of California, get ready. It is going to get worse before it gets better... far worse. And that is my commentary. *SDRoads Oh, and Happy Memorial Day, y*all! *SD, signing off
