Woke up a little early and took an hour walk with the dog and stopped by the dog park. Sometimes are better than others. He’s good at defending himself. Every once in while a dog will harass him he doesn’t like and he goes back after them. Makes a little bit of a scene but it doesn’t last long. Seems that if I walk around the dog park he kind of follows me in between playing and checking out other dogs. Which is good. I want him to be social, but sometimes he gets too focused on a dog and harasses the crap out of it and makes a scene. And of course he doesn’t want to be caught when it’s time to leave. But if I act like I’m leaving and go through the first gate of the dog park, he usually follows shortly. A nice walk, a nice lunch and now it’s time to clean the house!

Taxes are due, we’re self-employed and tax time is near. We only paid a little of the estimated taxes for this year because of all the bills. You wouldn’t think a business that loses money would owe so much in taxes. We may pay just what we can, ask for an extension, try and come up with more deductions and if not, just pay whatever late charges and penalties that they come up with.

Why should the IRS bill be different than any other bill we have? We pay more late charges and more interest with less money. Such a vicious cycle. Why are the people that are having problems are piled onto with more problems? Oh well, such is life.

Every family has at least one. If not in your immediate family, then at least in your extended family, whether you know it or not. You know the cousin that has a few too many at a family reunion, but they never get like that at home, of course not. If you’re sleeping with a drunk like I am, I’m a little scared that it may turn into something else. Alcoholism is progressive. Meaning it gets worse before it gets better. After more rambling this will be out of my system and I’ll go on my merry little way and wait for the next level. Which would be what? Being drunk hasn’t affected our marriage, it’s probably made it better in his eyes. Maybe I look better through those beer goggles.

What’s next? I’m still wondering. A DUI where he kills someone? A DUI that turns into a hit and run? I keep waiting for the day where I go outside and the car has some damage on it, major enough for a repair shop and the story is he must have hit a big dog.

I’m not getting hit, yet. That’s the next step I’m dreading. I get yelled at a little here and there, nothing major, but he hasn’t gotten that mad yet. I hate having to hear how my girlfriends deserve their beatings and how it will never happen again and how they should stay in a relationship no matter how bad it is for the children. At least I’m not there yet.

My little dog usually goes on his training pads in the corner. Every once in awhile he tends to walk around and finish. It probably has something to do with the stuff I feed him. Most of the time he gets cooked chicken and dog food. He can’t seem to handle processed meats. Like ham, lunchmeats like bologna, usually cause a little diarhea. Last night was ham night, so he got a little.

This morning I awake with a little surprise. Most of it was on the pad, but there were little drops here and there. I ran out of the commercial pet carpet stain remover and was struggling to find something. I didn’t really want to use windex on the carpet, even though a couple of places on the internet said it would be okay.

What I settled on was Shout stain remover. I found out a little goes a long ways. I spent most of the time rinsing it out of the carpet.  After I did the one stain, I sprayed it on a wet rag then rubbed it on the carpet. A couple of places I needed a little extra rinse, but other than that it worked perfectly.

Whoever dies with the most toys wins. That was a good move on my part. You may be banging your head against a brick wall. Without resume builders my how to write resumes is pointless. I’m not covering all the bases I need to here. how to write a resume alone makes me want to check it out. This could cause certain alarm about resume templates which may or may not be the way to go for you because you decide to do something about how to write resumes. The more I learn, the less I know. Everyone will tell you about resume writing examples. Read the rest of this entry »

We go from a woman for President, that would’ve worked except someone else could read a speech better than she could. Now on the Republican side we have another woman for Vice Presidential candidate. The first woman Vice Presidential candidate didn’t work out so well for the Democrats. After the next few days no one will talk about the Vice Presidents again.

The Democrats had such a big build up to Obama’s coronation that his speech was a disappointment. It was okay, but it was all expected. Nothing new, nothing too emotional, all predictable. The man made one speech in 2004 and the Democrats fell in love with a speech giver.

I’m still trying to figure out how the Republicans picked John McCain and I don’t think a woman on the ticket is going to actually do anything more than get some media attention.

My mom complains to my spouse about how I’m never going to be able to do anything else. I’m not smart enough to go back to school or get a real job other than what I’m doing. But she’s constantly calling up and asking about her computer, internet, cell phone, GPS and a host of other gadgets. But I’m not smart enough. Next time I’m telling her I just don’t know. That sounds too complicated for my simple brain. All I can do is drive around. Don’t know nothing about them fancy computer doo-hickeys.

I’m so tired of working. I enjoy work, just not the idiots at work. The amount of work has picked up, which means more pay, but with the price of everything going up, it doesn’t seem like I’m making any progress. I need to get my powerball tickets! I play once in a while, five bucks for a quick pick now and then. A small win would be good, doesn’t even have to be the big jackpot, just a few 100k would be nice. Or I could marry someone rich like my mother and be miserable.Who I still can’t stand talking to. A conversation with her is so frustrating. They worry about  the smallest things instead of enjoying life, but it’s their choice, I’m sure they’re happy being miserable.

Or getting old, one or the other. Any time I have the simplest conversation with her lately, it’s a struggle to get through. Trying to understand what the heck she’s talking about and trying to make myself understood. Simple stuff. Something she’s doing that’s wrong and she can’t figure it out and when I try and explain it to her, she doesn’t understand and what she’s trying to explain to me I can’t imagine why she would be doing something like that, but that’s really not what she’s talking about. So, it’s like I’m giving the answer to a different question than the one she asked and she doesn’t remember the question anyway, so why bother.

I’m told it’s only going to get worse. Hopefully it’s just getting old and not something serious.

Listening to Wolfe Blitzer is too agonizing. Can Wolfe be any more obvious? The “Situation Room” has become Obamamania Hour. Wolfe loves Obama. I mean really LOVES Obama. Every story has something to do with Obama. Even a McCain story, Obama is mentioned.

CNN has always been the Clinton News Network. Hilary should get her money back from CNN. Wolfe doesn’t even pretend he’s being impartial. He’s blatant about it.

I would listen to the Situation Room because it came on before Lou Dobb’s. Now I can’t stand the Obama platitudes and one-sidedness, my head starts hurting and I have to switch to Fox and watch Brit Hume. At least Brit’s show does stories about both candidates, good or bad. Brit may not be totally unbiased, but at least it’s better than watching Wolfe Blitzer going starry eyed every time he says Obama.

It’s not that I hate Obama. I hate what he stands for. The far extreme left pretending to be mainstream America. Extreme left is being nice. Obama and the new Democratic party want to Socialize America. We are already in debt up past our eyeballs and the only solution Obama talks about is stealing money from the rich and giving it to the poor. The zombies don’t realize that the middle class are now going to be the rich.

When the Democrats say the “rich” they usually mean any household that makes $100,000. These days, that’s not hard to get there with both spouses working. And now Obama has changed his position about taking private campaign funds. His argument for taking public money was that the politician wasn’t beholding to special interests. Wonder who he’s going to owe favors to once he gets in office. Can’t wait!
