Too true. Jeffman and I had this conversation this past weekend; his oldest nephew just turned 22, and the others range in age from 4 to 18. They don't know rotary dial phones, black and white televisions, reheating food in a conventional oven. They will never understand how we got along without...

I never held a union job in my life. Forgive me for studying hard, being an honor student, going to college, securing the best non-union jobs out here, marrying well, saving smart, paying off a 15 year mortgage in 7 years, retiring at 42, learning how to enjoy life again after the death of my...

YOUR TAXES DO NOT PAY MY SURVIVOR BENEFIT. The insurance company through Fidelity Investments guarantees my payment. You have no say in this debate because you have no ideas of the inner workings of the OPTIONALLY INSURED benefit program. You could say, "Gee, I didn't know that. I stand...

A fun fact: my late husband spent the last 22 years of his 33 GM career at Orion. When he hired in at the factory's opening in 1984, there were 5700 employees under that roof. When he retired in 2006, there were 1800. There was a time, in 2000, that there were only 3 employees in the entire...

See what you don't know? My survivor benefits are covered by a separate insurance policy that my late husband paid for out of pocket. If one doesn't choose to insure their pension then their survivors get nothing. Your precious taxes aren't supporting my $12,000 a year survivor pension. That...

Say it say it....dare ya :D. For full effect, you should have quoted my entire post, not just pick and choose what part of the text you felt made you look good. Now...back to the subject of the original post... "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo...

You miss the point again. I am talking merely cash that is spendable. Yes, with all the benefits the total compensation is over $100k. But one can't pay a mortgage or buy a car or groceries with their Blue Cross or Legal Services benefits. To state they "make" over $100k is true but...

No, I didn't "conveniently" leave out the benefits compensation. People hear the entire package but they never hear what the cash compensation is. Now they know. Did I make as much as UAW/GM workers with my college degree? No. Did I whine about it? No. That's just the way it is around here. I...

Sounds like easy work, huh? My grandfather was killed on the assembly line. Many people suffer repetitive motion injuries just putting in "nuts and bolts" for 30+ years. Standing on one's feet 8 hours, not moving from their workstation. Performing the same task over and over, 63-78 times an hour...

I'm not on welfare obviously and I drive a 2010 Avalanche Z-71 4x4. He just turned 12,000 miles last week, bless his heart. IDK his current KBB value, but his list price when I bought him was $51,000. I do know all too well the welfare fraud that has gone on here. A mother of one of my friends...

THEY DO?!? My grandfather, father, late husband, several in-laws, cousins, and friends worked or still do work for GM, and belong to the UAW. None of them did or do get food through the foodstamp program. They must be missing something they didn't know about. "Bruises fade and bones will...

Also, the Pilot just outside Laredo, exit 13. Saw them at the J in Franklin, KY too. In time, a short time, you will develop favorite truckstops, places where WallyWorld is preferred over any stop available in the area, which Wally cops will run you off, thus sending you to the nearest Home...

Google+ is now open to the public, no invitation needed. Alot of my facebook friends are opening Google+ accounts. I haven't been on my facebook desktop in over a week now; frankly, I am afraid. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

Cat paw prints of sage green paint across a Pergo floor can be removed with hot ammonia water and a terrycloth towel. A fact I found out yesterday while spongepainting my dining room wall and my cat showed up. Also, tan paint is apparently tasty to cats. I locked her fuzzy behind in the basement...

It's not hockey, LOL. He's OTR training right now with a Swift trainer. He's two weeks into it, in Phoenix right now. We live close enough to Canada (60 miles) and within a few miles of I-69 that Canadian runs are a distinct possibility. Just getting ready for the day that I go out with him...

My late husband had two misdemeanors in his past (that whacky motorcycle gang!) and never had them questioned when it came to voting. Lived in Michigan, misdemeanors occurred in Flint. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

That is great news. My veterinarian boss had this exact same scenario happen to him when he was 78, when technology wasn't as advanced but getting there. He went through the preventive treatment after surgery, never a recurrence, went back to work until he passed away from natural causes last...

Probably never because anyone could be behind the wheel of that vehicle. I think there would have to be more technology bordering on Big Brother for it to be effective. Jeff got the 'Enhanced' driver's license. It's more expensive than the passport card, but for him it's a business expense tax...

My passport card arrived today. Just sayin'.... "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008
