ALMOST SEPTEMBER AGAIN

WE ARE NOW CLOSING IN ON SEPTEMBER AGAIN. WE WILL HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 6 YEARS ON THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER.

SEEMS A LONG TIME BUT HAS BUZZED BY SO FAST. TODAY DAD WAS SICK WITH A COLD NOSE SWABBING YESTERDAY SOFT VOICE TODAY. HE IS BETTER BUT SOON WILL BE WELL.
ITS ALMOST MY GRANDCHILDREN 'S BIRTHDAY AGAIN. 23 YEARS NOW. WE WILL GIVE THEM THE USUAL A NICE CHECK.
SOON IT WILL BE THANKSGIVING AGAIN AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO COOKING A BIG DINNER ON ,MY NEW STOVE. AND THEN CHRISTMAS. I HAVE SOME PRESENTS ALREADY WAITING , I ALWAYS SHOP IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER CUZ TAXES AND INSURANCE FOR OUR HOUSE AND THE PROPERTY THINGY COME S UP IN OCTOBER NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER AND JANUARY. SO I HAVE TO PREPARE IN ADVANCE FOR THIS.

SO I START TO ANNOY MY KIDS NOW ABOUT WHAT THEY DESIRE FOR CHRISTMAS AND THEY DRAG THEIR BUTTS EXCEPT FOR MY BABY BOY HE ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS. ALSO IT PREVENTS THEM FROM BUYING SOMETHING THEY WANT IN ADVANCE OF CHRISTMAS.
DAD NEVER WANTS ANYTHING SO HE GETS PUZZLES. AND GRANDDAUGHTER ALWAYS WANTS MONEY AND I GIVE HER AND HUBBY A BOX OF SEES CANDY.
MAYBE A SLIP OR PJ'S OR LIKE THAT TOO OR A BOOK. OR TOY. YES SHE STILL LIKES TOYS AND COMPUTER GAMES.

MY OTHER ADOPTED GRANDDAUGHTER ILL SEND ART SUPPLIES TO SHES AN ARTIST. AND A SMALL CHECK.
MY GOOD SON NEEDS TO TELL ME AGAIN WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO GET HIM.
MY SECOND SON GETS MONEY AND TOYS AND DVDS.

AND MY SISTERS GET CARDS. THEY'RE RICH ANYWAYS.

I'M GONNA FIX A PRIME RIB ROAST FOR CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER AND A TURKEY BREAST AND HAM FOR CHRISTMAS DAY. PLUS THE ACCOUTREMENT'S THAT GO WITH IT ALL.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT MY LIFE AGAIN. WHEN I WAS 10 I GOT A BOX OF ORANGES AND A SILVER DOLLAR AND APPLES AND A PAIR OF TENNIS SHOES AS A GOOD CHRISTMAS I WAS HAPPY WITH THAT.

OTHER KIDS GOT MITTENS AND A TOY THEY WANTED BADLY. AND SOCKS AND A COAT OR LIKE THAT. THESE WERE THE DAYS OF MY CHILDHOOD IN THE 40S . AND A STOCKING ON THE FIREPLACE WAS FILLED WITH NUTS AND FRUIT AND CANDY AND A CHEAP COUPLE OF TOYS. THOSE WERE THE RICH KIDS. AND WE ENVIED THEM.

BUT I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH MY TENNIS SHOES FOR GYM AND MY FRUIT AND SILVER DOLLAR IT BOUGHT A LOT THEM DAYS.

IT'A REALLY AMAZING WHAT EVEN THE POOREST KIDS GET FOR CHRISTMAS ANYMORE. I THINK THTA PARENTS NEED TO BEGIN A PROGRAM OF AUSTERITY BECAUSE WITH THESE HARD TIMES FACING US IT BEHOOVES THEM TO START IT BEFORE IT GETS TOO BAD.
DON'T PEOPLE REALIZE THTA WE ARE HEADED FOR A VERY SEVERE FINANCIAL CRISIS very VERY SOON? WELL, ITS COMING PEOPLE AND YOUR SURPRISE WILL ONLY EXACERBATE THINGS START PLANNING NOW.

WHEN I DECIDED TO RETIRE , I PUT US ON A BUDGET AS IF WE WERE ALREADY RETIRED BEFORE I QUIT. THAT MADE OUR INCOME SEEM VAST AFTER I DID QUIT. PEOPLE DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO PLAN FOR HARD TIMES ANYMORE THEYVE BEEN TOO RICH FOR TOO LONG.

BUT TRUST ME, THEY ARE ON THE WAY. AND IT WOULD BEHOOVE ALL OF US TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY. CUT BACK ON NONSENSE. LIKE BUYING STUFF ON AMAZON AND DVDS AND MACHINES AND TVS AND HISPEED INTERNET AND SAT TV. ALL OD WHICH APPLY TO ME RIGHT NOW.
OKAY NUFF SAID. LOVE YOU ALL.
