It is nearly 8 pm and I have just hung up on my NINTH recorded political phone call of the day.......and it's not even October yet!!!!
Yes.....NINE calls in one day!
And they are all recorded so you can't even yell at them for bothering you.
Furthermore, I'm so lucky that I'm receiving calls representing BOTH democrat and republican platforms.
Our State Representative is trying to get a bill passed that will prohibit these INTRUSIONS into our life unless we wish to receive them. I hope, with all my heart, that she can get it passed.
In the meantime, I apologize profusely for being such a lousy blogger. It's been over a month since my last post. My daughter is still here and feeling 90% better. My grandson has a pretty good job now. My son also just found a pretty good job. So things are looking up in that area.
Boy oh boy I sure wish I could say I won the Lotto....but no such luck. Maybe it would help if I bought a ticket.....ay?
To bring you up to date:
I hit a pothole, which Michigan is famous for, and bent the wheel rim on my car (aluminum wheels). We did find another one (used) to replace it and that work will be done in the next week or so. $$$
My 74 year old brother-in-law just came through surgery to repair a hole in his lung which happened with no prior warning at all. He's home now and doing great but it was touch and go for a bit. He quit smoking 30 years ago and figured he wouldn't have any problems after all this time. One never knows, do they? Anyway, he's doing fine now with no sign of disease.
The leaves are starting to turn and we've had one frost already during the night. Fall is definitely right around the corner. Keeping my fingers crossed that we will have another mild winter like last year.
Oops....phone is ringing again. Sigh.....you may hear about me on the 11 o'clock news.
keep smilin', my friends.
