WTF is this all about? I was raised by the old saying, "There is a time and a place!" And I don't see this as being either.

The U.S. economy has tanked, everyone is at the feet of the Congress with their hat in hand, people are losing their homes...and we could go on and on here. But this honestly isn't surprising, as Hank Paulson has to be one of the biggest idiots in the world, considering the mismanagement so far as to TARP funds. Can't he just slither away by January 19th - and we will never have to see his bald head again. (this is not an insult to bald men - I like most bald men!)

Now, Paulson is asking for the remaining funds allocated to TARP, to be released. I honestly don't think that is going to happen - as many have seen what a joke (fiasco) this has all turned out to be.

******************

I tried to do a little shopping this morning, early afternoon...and now I am suffering severely. The pain in my back and shoulders is excruciating. I'm popping Naproxen as we speak. I just cannot stand or walk for long periods, or the consequences end up such as this. Actually, I am NOT really old. I will be 57 on Jan. 26th, but my body is rebelling against me. Years of abuse, many surgeries, which allow the arthritis to take over. But, I have that out of my system, no more pissing and moaning...at least for the moment.

It is 20* at the moment, going down to 16* overnight, with a wind chill of 7*. Argh.....this is so not my favorite weather. I can handle winter weather, such as snow at 35*, no wind chill, and no driving. Theson will be tickled to death to head home to cold weather - as I don't believe it snows in Egypt.

I'm glad I was able to finish the outside decorating before this dip in the temps. Thedaughter is off tomorrow, and I hope to FINISH the inside decorations. Then ON with the Holidays!

Enough for now...have a good evening all and Later..................
