Have a great Sunday everyone.
No Jamie, this is not about you.
We’re in the home stretch for getting Marylou here. Beds are in place, 2 new hospital bed. Tickets bought, American Airlines. Wheelchair ordered from Medicaid. Large quantities of alcohol ordered, wine for Nina and Knob Creek for me. Putting up shelves in their room today.
Poker game scheduled for Thursday. Always a good time, but I may have to punch our host a bit. He’s starting to get lippy in his emails about my lack of attendance lately.
Anyone give a shit about the inauguration of the chief idiot? I didn’t think so. I’m getting tired of hear about it on the news. I’m amazed at how people are fooled by this clown, but then it’s not about the country anymore, they’re selling the man.
Got this from my mom:
Wow, is Illinois and Chicago great or what?
Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?
Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.
221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in
the entire US.
President: Barack Hussein Obama
Senator: Dick Durbin
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Governor: Pat Quinn
House leader: Mike Madigan
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
The leadership in Illinois – all Democrats .
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .
Of course, they’re all blaming each other.
Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any !
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any !
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any !
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.
Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any !
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.
And he is going to ‘fix’ Washington politics for us???
George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house.
Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is … that’s
right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr.
resigned a couple of weeks ago. That is because he is fighting
being sent to … that’s right, the big house.
Every one knows what the “Big House” is right, it has lots of bars,
guards, and a tall fence with barbed wire at the top, sound familiar
The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.
But you know what? As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state
will go broke before the country does.
Maybe that explains a lot of our current problems.
Christina. She’s a gem. Paul Vanderwoude has a good person on staff in her. She stopped by and visited with ML yesterday and called me once she left the facility. She said that ML brightened up when she saw her and they had a lovely talk. She spent an hour with ML and they talked about many things. ML is looking forward to her trip west and can’t wait to see Shirley.
That is a different ML that I was reported on by 2 staff members at the rehab place. They said she was mean, nasty, uncooperative, and weepy. Both calls came yesterday morning.
Later.
The living wage in Santa Fe has claimed another business. Village Inn, a nationwide pancake restaurant has left SF claiming the living wage as the main cause of doing so. Their lease expired at the end of last year and there was no mention of a rent increase in the article, just the living wage law that SF councilors jammed down businesses throats. I know of at least a dozen of places that closed due to the living wage law and Village Inn is the latest.
Way to go Santa Fe! You’ve placed another 30-50 people out of work.
Not a lot of snow, but some is better than none. We probably have around 2 inches of light fluffy stuff. Nina said there was nothing said about this on the news last night.
Erin is still in Dilia. Nina and I are sick so Tori felt it was better that she not be exposed.
. . . to read my last post. Sorry.
We got home at 2:00 p.m.
