“MISERABLE SINUS INFECTION, MY DOCTOR AT PEACE HEALTH DOES NOT EXIST!!!–AS USUAL, IN EUGENE, OREGON”

“MISERABLE SINUS INFECTION, MY DOCTOR AT PEACE HEALTH DOES NOT EXIST!!!–AS USUAL, IN EUGENE, OREGON”.

“THE GOVT. HATES TREES! IN EUGENE, OREGON; “THOSE TREES ARE 30 TO 50 YRS., OLD, WHO NEEDS THE OLD-FOGIES?!” says our local government.

(Mighty tree painted by my old, volunteer artist in Oregon, Eugene)

As much as we would like to believe that Eugene Oregon,loves trees and the environment, we old residents here, (and new residents also,)  are beginning to doubt that. For all the yelling and screaming, and “cheerleading” of all the ecology and environmental bunch here, there doesn’t seem to be much appearance of them in a crisis. They just seem to disappear deep into the woods, and don’t make a peep.

could they be RATS instead of ducks?or maybe WEASELS? very likely.

Or maybe they don’t really like trees are all, they just like to “MOUTH – OFF” environmentalism and ecology stuff, and when it comes to showing up for the hard work, they disappear like cute little mice into the underbrush, and don’t make a peep.

I guess that makes them CHICKENS instead of  DUCKS, DOESN’T IT? Yes it certainly does.

Carolyn and I were at the local meeting of the “River Road residents against EMX tree removals” which was a very recent group, meeting in somebody’s home in the River Road region. Surprisingly, there almost wasn’t enough room in the living room of the house, it was stuffed full of very angry people. Not all of them were seniors, enough of them were youngsters, and even new arrivals.”I was not against the EMX,” said one lady, angrily,” but now I am! This is ridiculous! We came to Eugene and this county, particularly because of all the gorgeous TREES, and the environment,, and it was such a nice town. But now it’s being ripped apart!”

Carolyn and I looked at each other, because we were longtime residents here. “I hate to tell you this,” I said to the lady, calmly, “but you’re going to have a hard time KEEPING it that way, you have a very rotten local government, and it’s only going to get worse.Lane County and the city of Eugene, are being bribed by big developers, and paid off, and they’re doing anything they like. And, they don’t like trees. You should probably speak to our wonderful local commissioners, our wonderful Mayor, and the rest of our wonderful local government. If you can get an appointment with them, in their new City Hall.”

“What about all these environmentalists that are supposed to be here?” Asked another person. “What are they doing? Isn’t the University of Oregon legal school, don’t they have a annual environmentalists conference here? Aren’t they SUPPOSED to be big at that? But they let their own town get torn into shreds? I don’t get this! What is up with this stupid dumb town?”

“well,” I answered the person,” you are right about one thing; it is a stupid dumb town.“I didn’t add that it was similar to living in a small town in the deep South, like Georgia, or Mississippi, it was a one horse town, and nobody else could ride it, and the voters all had to walk. Of course, similar to the deep South, it was overwhelmed by Democrats , but these here were liberals, and somehow that seemed to fit. Maybe Republicans were just as bad, but boy, those liberals, I guess they were pretty much the same. No diff!

“all talk – squawk squawk!”and CHICKEN to the core.

“what are we going to do about this?” Asked another person, to the meeting. “I’d love to sue the ass holes, but I’d have to get my attorneys in California, none of the Oregon legalese would take the case. Not locally. Or I’d have to go up to Seattle to get some.” The other members nodded in accord.”if we did do it should be altogether, in a big fat class action case. Those are the most successful.” said somebody else, who looks slightly attorney-ish.

there was plenty of gossiping and mumbling, and further talk, and the meeting took a long time, until it disbanded.nothing concrete absolutely was planned, except that our attorney-ish friend was going to check with the University of Oregon law school, and see why they always kept their noses out of this.

Here they were, in Eugene, and the only trees they really cared about, were the ones that were carefully manicured on the campus itself.the rest of the town could pretty much go to hell, what the heck? It’s not like the University of Oregon was actually PART of Eugene. It just happened to BE THERE, on that particular soil.

oh, and yes, the good old LTD had decided to plant NEW TREES, and then wait 30 or 50 years to see if they actually grew up.considering that we had a permanent drought here, and new trees were going to have to be watered by hand constantly, maybe all the churches should get together and pray like HECK for rain rain rain! Of course, they could’ve avoided cutting all the OLD trees, that were easily 30 to 50 years old, and were “historical remnants” of a bygone Eugene, that actually appreciated trees, and made its living off of them.

Carolyn and I decided to go off to indulge ourselves in our sorrow, because we could SEE Eugene Oregon and this County getting so much like California, and ruining itself right into the pits.now all those areas of very old trees, that always gave us new oxygen to breathe, would be gone, and we’d get as polluted as Los Angeles, with tons and tons of concrete and asphalt, and paved over ground.and if it did rain,it would all turn into FLOODS just like California was doing.

OH, SHIT, how come we had to get like paved over areas of good old Calli? The very WORST areas of Calli?

only in Eugene, Oregon, the HIP, ECOLOGICAL, “TRADER-VICS’ CUSTOMERS, HIPPIES, LIBERAL-DEMOCRATS, -ORGANIC-FARMERS REGION, could you find such WEENIES and cowards, who refuse to go against the LTD EMX  TREE REMOVALS!!  

WHY?  Cause liberals here are SO RIGHTEOUS, there’s no room for TREES in their philosophy; to them, trees are symbolic, like images on the computer, but fighting to keep them in Lane county is “too un-hip a thing to do,” and “not politically fashionable.” WOW. “ORGANIC PRODUCE!  THAT is “fashionable.”

“You wanta go out to the forest, this weekend, and shoot empty-tin-cans?” said Caroline, while we slurped ice cream.”Yeah,” I answered.”I need the practice too. You never know, some LTD Administrator might get in my way some time, and I wanta be able to shoot straight. Law of the Old West. If it looks like a rat, acts like a rat,and squeaks like a rat, you treat it like a rat!  And I hate rats.”  

Caroline’s big fat yukking-laugh made me feel a lot better. At least one person in Eugene Oregon got  my respect.

“THE PROBLEM WITH AMERICANS ONLINE,IN THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY: IN EUGENE, OREGON”

(lake KINNERETT)

AHEM: hi, and welcome to my stupid blog again. If you read the previous installment, about my old senior artist friend, who often does volunteer art for my blog here, you know that she recently got hacked on an international website called Veehd.com, which is pretty much a fan website for movie lovers to discuss movies. And they have a FORUM, called “chit chat” that’s very tempting to chat and socialize on.

There a lot of very nice people to talk to, on this website, my friend says. Which is the problem; there are also hackers on this website, who illegally hack other websites, she says,and are members of “pirate Bay.com” which is reputed to be a bunch of Internet hackers.

So that the problem; you have no idea online , WHO is a nice guy chatting online, and WHO is a hacker,WHO is going to hack your whole website art, off “2draw.net”, illegally, which is supposed to be a software protected site, for artists. And according to my friend, ALL of her account and artwork, was hacked off,on “2draw.net” by this guy called”Pompoy” (she relates) and posted on to the website “Veehd.com”, right in front of her, to everyone else.

how did he get into her software protected account, on “2draw.net” which is protected from that, and protected by the password?

Easily.she related that, in 2 seconds, he was into her Internet isp, via Comcast,AND had everything out, and that was the end of it. She had to go on to the art site and delete all of her account and her name and everything and exit the site permanently. She also had to get off the website called Veehd.com, get rid of that account completely, and get off their permanently never to return.

Even though there were other nice people on there, they never did anything about the BAD people on their or ever got rid of them. apparently there were two groups of people on that site; very nice people, and another group called THE HACKERS who were VERY NASTY PEOPLE, who often destroyed members of the nice group, and dump them off the site completely.

so there is one thing that is obvious;I have never been a member of a website, that had two groups of people who attacked and destroyed each other, without ultimately destroying the whole website.  It is not possible.

Every single website I have ever seen, that had horrible conflict, and fighting, destroyed its self.

and another thing is very obvious about Americans who go online; we are vastly stupid about the rest of the world and its people.

PR of social media are constantly trying to brainwash us, telling us to go online and meet our fellow man, even if they’re from other countries, get to know them and make friends. And, after you’ve done this you find out, other countries hate our guts. people in the SAME COUNTRY hate our guts.

if you’re an American, you’ve been brainwashed to think that everybody in the rest of the world is the same, like you, and you should feel sorry for them. And our government does that! It gives billions of dollars to the rest of the world, shamelessly while people here starve.

 I had explain to my artist friend who’s beginning to discover this. “Dear, you are a very nice person, but the rest of the world is not like you. Even on your funny little website,there are people who hate your guts,because of your politics,OR they hate you because you ARE a nice person!

” they would actually hack into the same account, of another member,& they don’t think like you. They don’t think “if you are another member, I would not violate your personal art site, and hack into a private art website like “3draw.net”.”

THE BIG NASTY TRUTH:

“dear,you cannot go online, and tell anyone anything about yourself. Don’t do it.don’t go onto one of those dumb friend making websites, and fill out a profile, tell them what you like, what country you’re living in, and even what state you’re living in. Bull shit.

“DON’T MAKE FRIENDS ONLINE. No matter what social media tell you, DON’T DO IT.

“people in the rest of the world do not have your morals. Not even on the same website! Supposedly, you’re supposed to be nice to the other people .

“but The way they think is, they can do absolutely anything they want, to anybody on the rest of the website. And there’s no body, like the owner of the website to stop them. There is no moderator there is no law and order.from what you’ve told me, it’s a completely hostile website and dangerous to go on.”– just like the WORLD is.

“it’s like all the traffic driving on the freeways and highways in Eugene Oregon; no law and order, no traffic cops, anybody can do anything and break the laws, and no one does anything about it.so driving here is infinitely dangerous. People do it because they’re very anonymous inside their cars, just like the INTERNET, and they can get away with it.”

that is the problem with Americans in the global community.they just don’t get it. They don’t understand the rest of the world,online,  they think they can get along with a few of them, on a dumb website, just by being a nice guy.

speaking of being a nice guy, there is a big myth that “good people have good things happen to them.” That is a huge lie perpetuated by some stupid book called “chicken soup”.

“MACHIAVELLI WAS MOSTLY CORRECT”

In fact, the truth has always been that good people are more vulnerable to evil, because they’re nice people.that is the PRICE of being a good person. It is the BAD, truly EVIL PEOPLE who are not  vulnerable. They are  cautious,they are more suspicious, and they’re ready to blow you away.they know, that the world is very dangerous  and they are a lot more careful. That’s why the world is mostly ruled by evil and bad people. (Including the United States now.)

it is a lot more difficult to destroy a  bad evil person, then it is a good person. Look at Isis. Look at all the really horrible despicable ,evil people in the world. Look at how hard it was to get rid of them. Very  hard. Usually, it was their own problems that got them killed off. – Not the efforts of the good.

often, it was other,  powerful evil people, who got rid of them! – you had to be just as powerful as they were.example, people in the Amish community, are so nice and good, it’s very easy to go, and kill a bunch of them.they are very vulnerable and they don’t retaliate.

I had to explain to my artist friend, “Being nice to someone else is no guarantee, that they are going to act the same way to you. “There is no good deed that goes unpunished.”

that is the big problem of we Americans online in the global community; we still think that the rest of the world thinks like us.”we are all basically the same,everywhere, and everybody is basically good.”

We are brainwashed into thinking, we should go over to west Africa, and Dr. there Ebola. We should go over to Africa, and feed them, and fix all their problems.we should go over to Haiti,  fix all of their unfixable problems. 

 But if you’re an American, who really has a head on his shoulders, you know that it’s just as bad to be poor here, as it is over there. It’s just as bad to be in poverty, and be a poor people over here, as it is in Africa.

WE HAVE A DUTY TO FIX THE WORLD AND POLICE IT.

THAT IS A BIG FUCKING LIE.

that is a big fat liberal lie. Liberalism is fast going out of style in the United States, because basically it doesn’t work.and one of the worst things that could happen to United States, is all this online globalism, that makes us think that we could communicate easily with everybody everywhere.

But the Internet is NOT SAFE. Trying to make friends with people you don’t know online  is not SAFE.you get lulled into a nice cozy perception, that it’s safe and then you get HACKED.

I had to tell my artist friend,”dear, go to the local senior citizens depository, I mean, senior center, and try to make friends with them. At least, if they’re unfriendly, since this is Eugene Oregon, at least sit there and pretend you’re a friend.try to be OLD the American way; a lot poorer, and segregated from younger people, and trying to make decimated Medicare keep you alive.and, be isolated, and put up with it.

“You’re old, it won’t take you long before you’re on the other side. And you’ll really be glad you are! This is a dangerous,painful world, and once you’re old it’s a lot worse.so cheer up!

“You won’t have to worry about ASS – HOLES on the Internet.if they ask you for a friend profile, tell them you’re the queen of Sheba. They won’t know the difference anyway. And don’t go back to that stupid ASS – HOLE website.t’ll probably vanish in the conflict of their in–fighting.” and I told her, “if you stay at home so much, just go get Netflix.” She needs to cuddle up to her cat more.

being philosophical about life, is because you can’t do anything about it.and most of us can’t. But, you CAN refrain from telling the jerks of the online community, just exactly who you are, and you can refrain from talking to them or trying to make friends with them. Make friends with your cat.you know WHO owns the claws.

“YOU TOO, CAN GET HACKED; THE NET’S NOT SAFE—IN EUGENE, OREGON, COMCAST INTERNET”

(Volunteer artist work locally)

It was a new year, and I went to my local,volunteer artist, who’s a retired 80- yr-old artist, does free artwork for my free blog on here.She draws online,on a big well-known site called “2draw.net”. But when I asked her if she had any new,free volunteer art to post on my blog.She got out a hanky and started to cry.

“My art portfolio on 2draw.net got hacked,” she said.”These idiot hackers on a movie site, were some kind of hacker-arab-terrorists, I had no idea, and suddenly all my art work is hacked!!I had to inform the head of “2draw.net” that his site was hacked,and the security lock was broken.they stole most of my artwork, and I had to delete the whole account on “2draw.net”.”

“where did this happen?” I asked her.”I was on some  chat room  on a movie– discussion fan site called,”Veehd.com”. I didn’t know they had professional hackers,a “Pompoy” and “running man” who broke into private websites, stole money and anything they could get their hands on, credit cards, etc. and this website,”Veehd.com” is also a rendezvous point for Internet terrorists, and members of “pirate Bay.com”.CRAP! If I had known that I never would’ve gone on there!.” “Was this only an American website?” I asked. “That was the problem,” she replied.”it was a big international site, which I found out, is a terrible idea to go on.”.

I was very surprised; “why is that such a horrible idea, to go on her international website?” I asked. “Would’nt  you meet lots of nice interesting people that way from all over the world?” “Yeah,” she said bitterly. “That’s the problem you meet people who are TOO INTERESTING, people who are professional hackers, and you don’t even know it! You don’t know who any of these people are! They’re complete strangers!”..

..”– – especially, don’t ever discuss POLITICS!” She continued, “you could be talking to an Arab terrorist, and he doesn’t like your antiterrorist viewpoint, suddenly, your financial account is HACKED INTO! BINGO! Very very FAST!”

“I already ran into that, one time,” I replied. “That’s why I don’t go on any chat rooms anymore, everybody from all over the globe is in it. So we had this French guy, chatting, and suddenly we find out, he’s a very discontented Muslim, in France, in Paris; and one of the other guys on the chat, is an American who hates radical Muslims, and the two get into a big fight!”

I thought about it. “But the worst one was, several of us were on another international chat room, and we found out the other person online was in communist Russia, I suddenly went ballistic, with another guy, and started yelling at him, “dirty commie!”   And we both got kicked off the chat room permanently. Ha ha!I regret that I lost my temper, but that’s what happens online; you hate Arab terrorists, or communists, and suddenly you’re confronted with them IN PERSON, live, talking to them, and they hate you and you hate them! Courtesy of the Internet. The world is no longer a big place between the two of you. That was the only thing that was keeping you guys from killing each other off or yelling at each other. And now, the Internet gets rid of all OCEANS and CONTINENTS between you!”.

INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD:BLAH!!.

“come to think of it,” I said, trying to think, “isn’t that the problem lately? The world is too close together now? For example, North Korea is banning us from showing the movie “the interview”, because it makes fun of their North Korean leader. And suddenly, we are so close to North Korea,  they clobber us on the INTERNET! They can clobber their movie COMPANY ONLINE! And they do! Supposedly.” (Unless it’s all just a big publicity stunt, but who wants to find out the hard way?).

“yes,” I further started to remember; “here in Eugene, in Lane County, the school system and the teachers take in children of illegal aliens, and spend the taxpayers money educating them, while their parents still work here illegally. Really great! Liberals, what can you do with them?vote them out?”.”not possible here in Oregon, in Eugene,” snickered my friend.” It is illegal to vote out liberals here; there’s plenty of laws against it.”

.”Did they do away with tarring and feathering and riding people out on a rail, out-of-town, here?” I asked again. “I think they did, but only because there’s no police actually here. If you have a crime, everybody just puts up with it.” Answered my friend.”well, that would explain the local government all right.” I said sadly. – – Noticing my pocketbook was completely empty again..

“my friend,” I said to my friend, sagely.” I have the cure for you; don’t go on any websites and make friends with anyone or socialize with anyone  online,anymore. You don’t know WHO you’re talking to, they could be a murderer like they had on match.com, who went around murdering women and dating them at the same time!””you’re right of course,” groaned my friend, returning my sage advice – sagely. “All those websites that socialize, all those people are usually CRAZY, ANGRY, full of HATRED, not able to get along with people in regular life, so they take it out on people online.I have noticed that!” “Then why do you try to make friends on those crazy websites full of demented people?” I asked, mysteriously.

my friend answered me,“because Eugene has huge snobby CLIQUES, who hate out-siders, or anybody different, than they are.

“they’re the biggest bunch of BIGOTS, without even having black people around!” “…”oh no, you can’t say that they’re bigoted against gay people here?” I said, and she answered:

“no, they’re extreme bigots against REPUBLICANS, CONSERVATIVES, anybody MIDDLE-CLASS, anybody who’s not a hippie, or nonorganic, or carbon footprint aware, or anything like that. In other words, anybody from Texas or Wisconsin would  be vaporized by screaming. Or, anybody who’s the least bit NOT LIBERAL.or,does not like to fight over politics constantly; they don’t want those people either.or, anybody who has a JOB and doesn’t work for the government.”

she added: “I forgot, they don’t like HETEROSEXUALS much either.”“that doesn’t leave much,” I answered gloomily. “Now you know why I tried to make friends online on those dumb websites,” she answered just as gloomily.” On the other hand, and you ever tried to exist on a website with all lesbians? And you’re not a lesbian?””you can’t really blame them,” I answered,” they have to put up with you as a completely different species.”

“Yeah, people just aren’t TOLERANT of each other anymore! Isn’t modern life wonderful?”I said wittily. “Now that we have the Internet, people can attack and crucify and hate each other online also! I just love technology!” I took out some champagne and toasted it.”glug glug – better living through electricity!”

My friend did solve her problem, of not being able to make friends on line, and not being able to make friends in EUGENE, that weren’t super snobs and phonies. She found out that CATS and DOGS were too dumb to be bigots, and they followed anyone around, who had BACON in their purse!!

I was trying to avoid the local news I had dug up, concerning the above, 2 million new housing units in Eugene alone, and the increasing all those 75 million home units in the future. I was trying to figure out if, they were talking about the state of Wisconsin.?? All of those houses and new developments in Eugene and Lane, County? WHERE were they going to put all that “housing density”?

This type of housing development was called “Los Angeles”.– NOT “housing density”! 

oh,yes, and also, all the huge developments companies, did not like all those nasty little safety federally supported, “train horns” for the trains, they got in their way. Yes, the darn things were too loud, and they told everybody “your development is going to be right by a railroad, and a rail yard, so you’ll be hearing those regularly when you buy one of our houses.”

and everybody in this County and Eugene knows, “what the major housing developers want, the major housing developers get.”

welcome to the near future, and “Eugene –Los Angeles –housing–development– city.”!!

I was just about ready, to type the whole news item up, and try and get somebody here to publish it, so the public would know what was happening.in the meantime,my Dragon NaturallySpeaking dictation software, pooped out on me completely, and when I called up the support services of nuance, they told me the wrong thing. I found out later, they’re support services were for ASS HOLES. That’s what they decided we were, their customers; because they got everything wrong, and told me to do the wrong thing to fix Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Wonderful! And now I had to go to RadioShack, and get a new “USB hub outlet,” to make it work which turned out to be completely WRONG. And naturally, Nuance has no “feedback” or “complaint department of any kind”. What they do is they just IGNORE COMPLAINTS.

Radio Shack has been in a state of delusion every since they were born; their delusion is, their stuff works. ha ha. I would laugh, but the pain in my arms. elbows, fingers, whole arms is really bad. thank you Radio Shack. And THANK YOU NUANCE AND DRAGON NATURALLY SPEAKING.

BECAUSE of all of you, my last night “electronic rage”, trying to install something that does not solve the problem, has no power outlets, is full of snakey twisting cables, all aiming to screw with your head(where is the usb port in the back?NOTHING IS LABELED.) HEY, NUANCE, GIVE IT UP! I have to also shop for new dictation ware from a different company now.  I am in a state of:

ELECTRONIC RAGE:

.THERE, I SAID IT. everyone in the world except for a few lucky primitive people some where(and that involves the middle east also_) is having electronic rage; now I have NO PHONE; it got unplugged, from electricity and I finally realize WHY PEOPLE USE CELL PHONES.

Just look at your computer, with tons of back wall twisting cables, lines, you have no idea what to do with; and if we non-techies mess with it, trying to just install a usb port, hug,. our masses of twisted, messy, and non-labeled cables rise up as cobras biting us everywhere—and disconnecting the fucking cheap phone,with not a chance of figuring out how to reconnect it. There is no place to connect it, all my house is massed with computer cables, wires, tv, computer. you name it!!

..Now you realize why people have cell phones; it is not to be safe, call for help, or do anything else; socialize, look chic. 

It is because your computer power, cables, out lets, you name it. rearing up as menacing killing cobras, will never let you hook up a wall or desk phone again. they have taken over completely.

THAT IS THE REAL REASON, people use cell phones, even the poor. Computers. cable,. all this has taken over your houses power outlets,and every wall in the house. You just cannot have a hook up to wall, power or anything else, stupid phone anymore.

And ever since 4 am in the morning, you have been in electronic rage; nothing works!!it is disconnected phone,and Nuance dragon does not work,and will never work. You got the real reason for electronic rage; electronics. the electronics companies. Yes!!NO, it’s not you who are insane, it is THEM. THEY. WHATEVER. The huge mass of black phone line, cable line, power line  mouse attachment(which is not unconnected with the phone) does not work for you. You are an ordinary person,and not an electronics expert. Nor are you even a computer expert on YOUR COMPUTER.

AND it is not you who are insane cause you cannot figure out where the usb port in the back is, this is planned by electronics people, to make you use repairmen. Relax!! it is not you; it is the whole fucking industry.  

Fuck you, Bill Gates. .Fuck you,. computer and electronics industry. thanks a whole ton for fucking up my life!!

But if you are like me, that average person, you are now very dependent on a computer, in your home,and you can’t just get rid of it. Never!!

We are all addicted, as is every company govt. dept. and anything you have to connect to. it’s all on the stupid ‘puter. In case your computer or the web went down? We would all huddle into little balls,and not eat or drink, or breathe until it was all connected again; we are in the  state  of COMPUTER COMPLETE-DEPENDENCE. IF THE WEB WENT DOWN?? EVERY THING in life would crash!!Can you imagine making a system like this?and not having a back up “web” or carrier pigeons, or message services ?Bring out the Harry Potter owls, we will need them. 

ISIS is missing the whole thing to kill us all off with; hey, buddy, shut down the web!! we would all instantly die!! every govt. dept. company,bank, stock exchange, wall st., news,  you  name it;the modern world has an Achilles Hell the size of Wisconsin. (moo moo!)

Yes, you Neanderthal idiots with big swords;all you have to do is KILL THE WEB. CUT IT TO PIECES. You would take over the whole world, Jihad!! And they are a lot more vulnerable than they think. Try to think like a modern idiot,and not a back-water continent Oakie.  If you hired an illegal hacker or too, you would take over the world.

OH MY GOSH, HERE COMES THE FBI AGAIN.  I spilled the beans again. Sorry, FBI, I really like you and Muldar and that cute little redhead agent.But every computer jockey anywhere, knows if your major power sources that run the web, were cut, or even messed up, all the western world would be in electronic rage and hysteria. You would rule!! ugh.  

They would all only have their cute little cell phones left,and that is nothing.

(to be continued when I heal up; new stuff about how electronic rage, and the ISIS idiots who don’t get this, will be talked about. thank you.—Sandraminadotty in Eugene Oregon  🙂    )    🙂             ..

“THE BEST TOWNS TO LIVE IN, IN THE UNITED STATES”:

after an initial investigation, of the town (major city) of Eugene, Oregon, which used to be a town, in the County of Lane, my investigations have discovered that one of the best towns to live in the United States, in the future, and present time, will NOT BE Eugene Oregon or this County. This research was developed, in accordance with extensive web-based and underground secret affiliated organizations, news departments, major affiliated associated news,off the beaten track, and by Bugging the Lane, County and Eugene offices of the mayor, the Council,, and local government agencies. since all major political and government departments and agencies, and offices of Lane County, and Eugene Oregon, have all been secretly bribed by huge housing developers, this whole area will be a major huge development very similar to Los Angeles California. – – Complete with all the disadvantages, crime, gangs, drugs, only not as culturally sophisticated. That means, we are going to inherit every single bit of Los Angeles California’s problems, and we’re going to add our own. This will not be a good place to live. It will be a good place to AVOID.

While my old friend, Carolyne,. is having her own problems, I was going today, to tell everyone why getting old is so HARD. Well, if you are old, and that includes people turning 50, because major arthritus kicks in about that time.–you already know why.

This dimension has saddled us with very physical, gross,and brutal reality. We are basically animals with large brains,and that’s all. If we have a spirit, or soul, it seems to be repressed by the bare harsh facts of being in a body like a real animal, subject to all those gross, real animals parts,and organs, ect. Indecently, even though we seem to be very smart and scientific, we cannot change this body for a NEW or different type of one. We are stuck with it. It sets the whole stage for life, where you have to have and make enough money, wealth, to take care of this body and your family’s bodies, so they do not become injured, hurt and die.

.It transforms the whole world of man into a race, job, and competition to make enough wealth,. see a good enough doctor, to take care of your physical body. And,. when you get old, you find science is more interested in going to Mars, than trying to cure or help very bad arthritus in old people. Why? you ask? Well, there is more MONEY in going to Mars, and there is little money in curing or helping arthritus.

We old people, even in the USA, work hard all our lives,and put huge amts. of taxes into the govt. and health insurance, and when we get old, we get  SHAFTED. The fed. govt. does not want to return those taxes we worked so hard to put into Soc. Sec. Medicare and such, for our old age. Now that we are old, we cannot give them MORE MONEY,. MORE TAXES, so we get FUCKED. Sorry to use harsh language. it’s a harsh subject.Obama of course, since he has not problems with getting old, sucked all the Medicare billions into Obamacare.

I really need to take those hand-gun lessons I’ve been meaning to take. You never know what the future holds..Especially if you are getting very OLD.// 

Let this be a lesson to YOUNG PEOPLE; save all your money, avoid putting it into the fed. govt. taxes,or any other taxes. SAVE IT ALL FOR YOUR OLD AGE, you are going to need it. You are going to be the only one looking out for you, and Soc. sec. and Medicare will not be there, by that time.It’s already vanishing; take our damn advice and don’;t throw all your money into the govt. or local govt.

Fancy schools ?Forgettaboutit. When you get older, no kids or local govt. will help you; you know who helps all the charity work? CHURCHES. that’s who; and low income and mid. income people give ALL the money to charity, NOT the rich. SCREW THE RICH. They give their money to Africa!! And the opera and the art museums!!You rich jerks in NYC, and back east, art and music is more important than PEOPLE, to you.

Well, at least we know where your heads are. I remember what happened to old lady Astor, and how badly her son took care of her; she was rich, and her kids neglected and took lousy care of her. “Abusive,” the court said.Oh, yeah, it’s so nice to devote your life to kids, and you are lucky if they take care of YOU,  when you get old. (some of them do, Jewish people are very nice to their elders, and other cultures too. Not WASPS so much.) That is a modern American problem; young people divorce their elders, and the elders have to look out for themselves. I guess we have to anyhow, so let that be a lesson to us; we elders still have to try and take care of ourselves,and it’s better for us. 

ANOTHER WORST PART ABOUT GETTING OLD:// 

What is the worst part of getting old? there are many worst parts. For the first worst, your body breaks down.My arthritus in my hands swells the knuckles up so bad, and my wrist, I cannot type; I have been dependent on a Dragon Naturally speaking dictation ware,and it has broken down today.I spent at least an hour on the phone, trying to phone customer service, to find out “why won’t it open?”

After a number of false tries, a nice lady tells me “Dragon is not compatible with your sound card; it never was. You have to get a USB port plug into for your mic-headphone set.” I call up Radio Shack, they got it. But first I thank the nice lady, and apologize for being so bad tempered, cause the pain is bothering me a lot. She’s very understanding; she says her grandma can’t eat BEANS. BEANS make the arthritus worse!!  Wow. Those vegetarians don’t want to tell us elders about that, I guess. (no beans, thank you.)I apologize for being so cranky, cause my arthritus hurts; but tell her, “if her grandma uses DMSO (dimethol sulfoxide)on her arthritic joints, it helps.” (Doctors won’t tell you this–or much else.).

Yes, a vegetarian does not wanta tell you that. hee hee,. So much for Dr. Oz, too, that egotistical, business-medicine mega-mouth. Disgusting guy, tells you to abstain from ALL GOOD FOOD AND DRINK.FOREVER. Just so you can live longer,and get cancer, arthritus,. pain and pain,and die of old age without having any fun. Screw Dr. Oz. “Dr. Perfect.” haw haw. I wonder if he has any notion of how rediculous he is? I may sound nasty,but why does he thinks he is ALL KNOWING,ALL-SEEING, and can tell you to eat a PERFECT diet? ALL the time? I already don’t smoke, stopped drinking long ago.I have few  enough vices!

HOWEVER, it’s a good idea  to eat  healthily,  keep your weight down, don’t smoke, don’t drink too much,and exercise. while you are YOUNG; because the abuse and neglect of your body comes back  to haunt you in old age. The people I knew, who ate like pigs, smoked, or drank like alcoholics are either DEAD now, even at 60. Or, they have COPD on an oxygon tank; lost their liver (alcoholics who are YOUNG do that, too); have major heart attacks, diabetes and strokes, and even get cancer or “renal-end-stage” dysfunction and are on dialysis. Ewww!!!  😦  

I,  who practiced mostly a healthy life-style, still have normal blood pressure, cholesterol, kidneys, I just got my heart-sonar-tests  back, most of my heart is ok. But my bad FEET crippled me up,  so I can’t run around too well..Age and non-existent  medical  resources when you get injured, still get you in the end.I bet ex-Pres. Bush’s feet got spectacular treatment. No lousy podiatrists for the Oil-heir! “If I were a rich man,” sung by a poor Jewish peasant, takes on a whole different importance. Imagine if Tevya got horrible, bad feet, and could’t walk around and work!! He’d get MUCH POORER. Like, his family might starve. 

Until Obama’s Obamacare doctor, who wants to refuse all medical treatment to persons 75 or over,  gets complete power over Medicare, (he may,if Obama has his way) we oldsters  still gotta take care of ourselves. And this “doctor” disapproves of 75+ seniors who keep on living!! Say, Hitler did that!! He gassed all the old, sick, disabled, mentally ill, even “Academics”, (???!!!) ,the intellectuals, and anyone he decided was “a drain on society.” –like we seniors.

Whoa, Obama, now I realize you reading “mein Kampf”and that liberal best seller, “How To Become A Nazi,,While Pretending To Be A Democrat”.!!Refuse medical care to Americans 75 and older, and this is Obama’s FAVORITE DOCTOR!  Yow!!  I know the fed.govt. hates we “worn-out, use-less, ex-workers” cause we already gave taxes,and they can’t get any more blood out of us. But now Obama’s best friends want us to GET LOST, cause they can’t get blood out of ancient stones any more?

 MORE BAD THINGS ABOUT GETTING OLD: THE FED. GOVT. WANTS TO THROW YOU DOWN THE GARBAGE CHUTE:   <:0

Yes, the country and govt. that throws billions at Africa, imports thousands of them over here, lets all illegal aliens right on in,and takes Liberians right into our help, just does not like AMERICANS,. who get OLD. I’ll remember the next time I get Botox,and laser-cosmetic-Fraxel-skin and cologen-production-treatment; “”Maybe this will fool Obama,and “Logan”s Run” movie won’t become reality!!(??)” Forget it it already has. “60 is the new 90.” 😦

MORE BAD THINGS ABOUT GETTING OLD: WORK!

OK,. we boomers  got FIRED!! Most all of us!!And I mean at 50!! Not “retired,.” not “part-time”; FIRED!! GOTTEN RID OF!!” They assumed the same philosophy as the fed. govt. “Get rid of those fucking old turds!!: We don’t need them!! Besides, we have tons of young idiots, who work for cheap!!”And they do. But us? We struggle to get into soc. sec., because there is nothing else. Work?Maybe if you own yer own business–or are Trump. But don’t ask a 3rd party for a job; maybe if we work for Burger King. We have to pretend we have no education except for high school-drop out.  I know people with 3 Masters, or PHDs. and they’re clerking for bargain–mart-grocery. And at my age, I’m not hot enough to seduce some rich old guy. ( “I let my oportunities pass me by.”*(Sings in old regret.)

EVEN WORSE THINGS ABOUT GETTING OLD: DEATH. 

Of course, I should have started with this; death is a big deal. In this society we try to avoid it completely; we mask it, fix it up, and pretend it does not exist. –Just like old people don’t exist,and you young people will NEVER get old too. Yes, you young people can hate all we elders, for wasting your resources; cause we still are not dead yet. Even at 50, your best friends have died, or are dying; at 60, a lot of them have gone; and at 66., you’re so far away from them, you don’t want to stay here anymore. Going to 70, and 75, since most of MY friends and close people have already left, I have no incentive to hang on here. People in the US no longer live to a ripe old age, they’re already dying at 50. 

The world is not what keeps you alive; your close friends and loved ones do that. When they exit the stupid world, you have the drag on you, to follow. For most of us, once we’re all gone, the survivors only suffer trying to find meaning left in the world. Why should you stay? Everybody is GONE. Your time of life is gone; there’s no things to get accomplished, no time to do them,and not any physical strength left to persue them.

The next generation is angry that you are alive, overstaying your time; “Get out!!Why aren’t you all gone yet??”–but how you treat your elders, tells how the next generation after you, will also treat YOU. They have watched your behavior, and are itching to like-wise push you out. The work world has squeezed you dry, and you’re no use to them now.Paahh!!

Who cares about those vultures? If you were smart, you got an honest broker, invested in stuff that was safe,and now you’re mostly living on that, because people who work, are not the ones who make money anymore./    The FINANCE and WALL ST. and BANKs make money; China makes money. Work? Work does not make money now. Soc. sec. pays nothing; and Medicare is getting sucked dry. So if you were smart,and figured out WHO and WHAT still makes money, you are a little bit safer. (Unless the whole fucking govt. falls,and everything crashes; no one will be safe then.) Furslorgner world anyhow!

But in old age, it’s time to start ignoring and neglecting the outside world, just like it does it to you. Stop following the mad pace; avoid all the crap, and trash,. and wars,and horrific govts. and their horrific Facist paths of glory; they will repeat the same holocausts, murder, war, destroy, mame, and kill the innocent; take over the world, and decide to get rid of we olders. We are of no use to them, and they are disgusting in the extreme. The weather changes to drought, and there is no water; no rain, and no crops; too many taxes and assholes running the country into the ground. “World Climate Change” will eventually cause the US and the world to fall to their knees;/   starve,and invade the US borders; destroy the so-called fed. govt. TRASH TRASH CRAP.

I am old and I care nothing about the world and the nation anymore; I return your dislike and negligance/  . I’m going to try to figure out where I am going, when I return to HOME, where we all spring from, and which I sense thru the atmosphere. I sense the blazing white light, and the real home to which I shall return, and get rid of this hokey, cardboard stage and props, and get rid of this abysmal,. painful husk of a worn-out animal, and go where light dances,and blazes, and we all go to become one. I have seen this somehow all my life,and had one foot in another dimension,and known it was there. Now I am relieved that I will return to it, and remember when I was a kid, my parents, and being young. Because we all sprang from our HOME,. we were kids; and now we are going home, where the REAL WORLD IS.

 And there you have the good thing about getting old; we finally get to go HOME, and see everyone who died (probably) or go to where they are now.I always knew, I would follow, see them again. Or at least rid myself of this hokey, prop, identity, and this hokey, prop, stage world, which whirls around being rediculous; when the real world, HOME,  is where we came from, and always return to. 🙂  THERE you have the good thing about getting old; we get to return to the REAL WORLD, HOME, for which there is no substitute here, or elsewhere. I’ll miss the green trees,and plants, and grass,and rain. I miss the living things the most. But all the hectic bullshit? All the constant struggle? The hideous animal named Man? And all his notorious crap? Not for a moment.   🙂

“IS THERE AN “NWO”? DOES IT MATTER, OR NOT?–IN EUGENE, OREGON!!!–HOME OF EUGENE-OR-COMMUNITY ARTISTS!!”

(Oregon artist satire of “organic living” yuppie)

I looked at the local newspaper, with the article “20 year long figure drawing class, for Eugene community members, destroyed by U. of O.fine Art Department head”. But the reasons in the article, for stopping the 20 year long free, Saturday afternoon, nude figure drawing class, for members of the Eugene community, at the University of Oregon,were pretty ridiculous.the head of the fine Art department gave these excuses;One was that “the people who came to draw, might just be voyeurs, wanting to see nude figures.” DUH!  in a figure drawing class, how do you tell who is a voyeur, and who isn’t? If they draw very well, are they or are they not, voyeurs? Or are they there just to flirt with the model during her rest period?..

the other reason that the head of the fine Art Department gave, for ending that free Saturday class, was;” it was not safe for the model, to be nude there, strange and violent and overly sexual people could burst into the class” and the art department could not afford to put a guard on the drawing room.however,in the article, the members of the free art class, were quoted as saying, that there was never any trouble with security there, they never got attacked or invaded on Saturday, and there have never been any kind of action there but very quiet drawing. – Which is how drawing is supposed to be, quiet.

the newspaper article was trying to say, “why the heck did the University of Oregon fine Art Department head, end the class, for these ridiculous reasons that didn’t exist?”   Well, there were a couple very possible reasons she did it. One, she was from the East Coast, and taught at very pricey (Yale) and expensive (fancy girl school) and was very FOREIGN to the Pacific Northwest. She was used to being among wealthy and well educated Easterners who went to school and who also taught.she apparently thought that all of Eugene’s residents, were “dangerous, primitive, out-of-control, and uncivilized villagers.” – And couldn’t be trusted on the University of Oregon campus. (And also, they weren’t registered and weren’t paying for their class.)

I mean, after all all the people in that class were COMMUNITY ARTISTS, and not really “certified – college-educated – middle-class and upper-middle-class, and wealthy –” students.some of them even had regular, low income jobs here.

OH, MY GOD! Low income artists! How God damn terrible!you know if you’re going to be an artist, you have to go to a very good,expensive school, and learn all the ways you’re supposed to be able to draw and paint, and all that bull shit.Heaven forbid you can’t afford it!– like all the present and future artists. Well, that was the way of the present and future; if you were low, or working-class, you were not going to be able to afford education, and if you are middle class or upper middle class, you had to borrow a lot of money.and then probably lose your house or everything you own, over it.

the head of the fine Art department, since she was used to teaching at Yale,, and from very structured ,socially and economically, back east, just took it for granted she can get rid of community artists, off her art campus, and they should go somewhere, for their level. LEVEL. Meaning, of course, “get thee to thy level!” But it was really discouraging to hear that the University of Oregon was getting more and more like a back east big time, discriminating and bigoted expensive University. Very discouraging. 

.but that is a mark of our times; rigid, structured, social and financial classes. strictly enforced.one research poll that I read, said that it was no longer possible for people to move from low financial classes, or working classes, to higher classes with more position and more money. It just wasn’t possible anymore..I can see why that is; everybody in your financial and social class, all support each other, even for careers and jobs, and to get into schools. If you’re outside your desired class, you’re not going to get in.nowadays you have to be born into it.

(a very attractive and sexual outsider, could marry, or sleep his way into it,but that’s something else.)

It’s similar to, what us old seniors and baby boomers found out, when we tried to learn computers, late in life; all the youngsters were practically born into computer use, and education, and they were naturals with it.most of us would never catch up with them.

now, it’s very almost impossible, to break up that rigid, very structured social and financial class, and do anything about it. Get out of it; and into a better one. And people who yell about the “NWO”, rather the “new world order”, don’t have to look any further than stuff like, monopolies of cable TV; monopolies of every single company you can think of. Even monopolies of FOOD in supermarkets. MONOPOLIES in every single area of commerce; clothing, electronics,phone companies, computers, leadership, the Internet,spirituality (Catholic Church, we hear you!) No where are the monopolies of life, even in the United States, worse than our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.members of Congress, and Senate, keep coming back like a bad virus. There’s no getting rid of them.

so when you stop and think of the above subject, several paragraphs above, about the low income community artists, who can’t pay to go and register at the University of Oregon, for nice expensive education, and get into the “monopoly”, and the “in crowd”, it doesn’t do you any good to worry about this little thing everybody’s obsessive about, called the “NWO”.whatever shape the “new world order”, is in , it’s not really a hysterical conspiracy theory.it’s real. It’s all around you, you can’t miss it. 

in your area, there are only two ways to get on the Internet; Comcast and century link. Nothing else. There are dinky little,one person Internet servers, which hardly anybody uses if they can help it. And if you want to watch TV, you either have to get a satellite dish, or you have to get Comcast cable TV. And if your trees are too tall, or for some other reason you can’t get a satellite dish, you’re stuck with ONE cable TV company. The master! The monopoly master! and believe me, the PRICES they charge, are of a monopoly. I frankly, stopped watching all TV shows, they are so bad. The only thing I watch are MOVIES. And I refuse to get the higher up superduper, movie and TV channels, because I already did that, I got one or two secondary movie channels, and I’m still bored to tears most of the time. So getting higher up ones, and paying more and more and more and more, won’t do me any good. Most of the time, the only thing on TV is bad TV shows, and old TV movies they show over and over.those few extra movie channels, are mostly what I watch. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother with TV at all.

.AND, they are soon going to get rid of BROADCAST TV! EVERYTHING will be on cable or on the Internet.

Go  read a book.

 I’m not worrying very much about “NWO” mysteries or conspiracies. I know who they all are anyway. I see them every day! I have to deal with them every day, and get clobbered by them every day. And PAY TAXES to them every day!and have to deal with MICROSOFT, MACINTOSH, et al.MONOPOLIES every day. You want to talk about a monopoly? the AMA!one of the biggest baddest monopolies. One you can’t deny, and you can’t get around. If you want to be a doctor or a medical person, the only other thing is, “osteopath school, or chiropractic school.” (The latter one, I highly recommend and use myself.)

let’s suppose for a moment, before we end this article, that you have very very bad FEET. You’ve got very bad arthritis, you’ve got plantar fasciitis, your bones are bad off, your feet are old, but also there is no such thing in the United states, except for PODIATRISTS for bad feet. And you know what they do? Nothing. They cut toenails. That’s what they do! So if you have very bad feet, with a number of serious things wrong with them, in the United States, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK.

Unless you are fabulously wealthy, and can go to other countries, and very specialized expensive doctors, who actually treat really bad feet, and only accept CASH MONEY, you are SCREWED! that’s because no insurance you can get, for a regular normal person, even working,  has any kind of decent really good “expert feet Dr.s” who know how to treat very difficult, painful, FEET problems.

those are the results off our very socially and financially, structured classes, now. Monopolies; no medical treatment, unless you’re fabulously wealthy.(the rest of us get very bad HMOs, welfare charity clinics, and no treatment at all, on Medicare, Medicaid, Obama care. That’s because, as I mentioned above, you are out of luck. You’re not going to get it!)

So,, stop worrying about “the new world order”. It’s just the same old, “everyone is a PEON, poor person, on the bottom, which includes most of us, and our masters are that small, little, rich and financially angelic upper-class.”– – except that it’s worldwide. yes, it’s the same old ballgame; unless you’re one of the lucky rich and wealthy and powerful people, you’re  POOR. Not much middle class.. Stop pretending that socialism is going to get you what you want and need. IT IS NOT.Socialism is pretty much a FAKE. And whatever they used to call, DEMOCRACY, that’s over, too. It was a short, one time situation, and now it’s gone.

 there’s your “NWO”; if you want to watch old movies, they are all owned by Ted Turner, and you have to pay for his channel on TV, to get them. And if you want cable TV at all, there’s only one choice, Comcast. There, in a nutshell, is our NWO. It’s not invisible, it’s seething around you every day, and you’re stuck in it. So stop worrying and obsessing over it. It’s just the same old bull shit, it’s always been for thousands of years.it’s just under a new name.

(Sandraminadotty, in Eugene, OR, wondering whether or not I should run for Congress, or Senate, by issuing a huge campaign of BULL-SHIT, mucking-up to every powerful, political group, raising millions of bucks, and doing it all THE AMERICAN WAY!!  “THANK YOU, MRS.

“EVEN A DUMB OREGONIAN,KNOWS THAT FOREST FIRES CAN BE PREDICTED!– – we submit, in Eugene Oregon”

(PRIVATE TREE,ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO,EUGENE,OREGON:

bought from very cheap desperate Eugene Oregon artist)

Here I was, your humble writer and teller of Oregon tales,trying to get over a very bad sinus infection brought on by huge forest fires’ smoke, all over the Williamette Valley, and the rest of Oregon. I said to Caroline “at least I didn’t get bronchitis or pneumonia like the others did I?” She was coughing and hacking, and tried to reply; Carolyn had stopped smoking, but the atmosphere was still doing it! EVERYONE in the Valley was sick, or about to get sick, or had already been sick, or with ongoingly-sick.

I couldn’t get in to see the ear nose and throat doctor, his schedule was packed high for months, with people even worse off than me. The rumors were, everybody old, or even slightly fragile, or who had asthma, or even wheezed a little, was endingup in the hospital. But the hospitals were too crowded they didn’t have any room anymore!all this sick desperate humanity, trying to breathe, filled the doors wide, of the urgent care offices all over the county, and probably the rest of the state (from what I’ve heard.) It did one good thing:

it encouraged a lot of people who smoked, to stop. Why buy cigarettes, or cigars or a pipe,when the state itself was doing the smoking for you?

in the meantime, I was huddled over my bronchial steamer, and telling Carolyn she ought to get one;”I know,” she replied, slipping her hot chocolate drearily, “I tried, they’re all out, they have to reorder them they’re selling like barbecued chicken, or local brew!” “Well,” I commented, as we got ready to go out, facemasks in hand, “it’ll only be a short time until we probably switch over to oxygen tanks and those masks.”her dreary moan was very predictable.

as we slipped on our nose and mouth mask, trying to keep out some of the disreputable junk flying through the air, from all the forest fires, I tried to think back; didn’t people used to say that forest fires were predictable? Especially if we had huge drought, for many years, and then ended up with all whole spring and summer of 96° weather, and no water? And no rain? NEVER any rain, anymore, in a state that used to be reputable FOR RAIN! “THE RAIN STATE”.

I have been talking to some arborists, and they shook their heads; “yes, forest fires are predictable, and the state and the County and the federal government has screwed us over by ignoring and neglecting all the obvious signs. Having huge droughts for years, over all that forest land, which has been getting as dry as the fire tender, and then having all that hot weather, yes,= that does equal FOREST FIRES.” There’s no two ways about it, the state government has been ignoring it all, in hopes that it would just go away and disintegrate like fairy dust.

“maybe the government didn’t have money for it,” I asked the guys, the tree guys. “Also,” said one of the arborists, “environmentalists do not want any monkeying with public forest lands, not even to thin them out. And if the state doesn’t have any money, the environmentalists are not going to volunteer to do it either! Hey, we don’t get hired to do it! You’ve got trees yourself, you know if you don’t take care of them, they go to hell! Well, that’s what happened to all these forest fire lands; they definitely went to hell, nobody took any responsibility for them especially our state government!” There were nods of heads all around, they pretty much agreeed with that.

“one thing I don’t know about,” I said to Carolyn, back again to the present moment. “Are the lumber companies losing all their forest land also? Are there trees getting burned down like this?” “Gee,” she said, trying to drink some water, “I really don’t know. Didn’t ask those guys?” “No, I forgot to.” I said, trying to drink a cup of coffee for my nerves. “I completely forgot to ask, is this only the public forest land and parks and all those wonderful trees that we supposedly own, that are burning down? Are the lumber companies doing it also? Or did they take care of their forest land?”

we in our white breathing masks, carefully got into Carolyn’s old car, (her mother-in-law is probably going to buy her a new one, she just died, or something hopefully;) headed out to get something to eat. It sure seemed funny, trying to breathe, and eat at the same time.

Hopefully that would not be the way of the future, but the way the state was getting run, and the County, and the federal government, it looks like we would be investing in oxygen tanks and those facemasks, in the very near future. So maybe I should start looking into that equipment, and how much this junk will cost me..I mean, I don’t have to have a car, because I’m already getting enough gasoline right in my face from everybody else’s in Eugene, but I definitely have to be able to BREATHE.

And I don’t reckon on catching anymore diseases, they could put me in the hospital anytime soon, me being a senior and all, on all this cut and massacred Medicare I get.everybody in the newspaper would write in and say, “wow, why don’t you put us all on Medicare, we all deserve it.” there are the entitled, even though we seniors worked for many years, toiling day after day on the job, these guys come along and say “give us your Medicare! We don’t care if you earned it, we wanted it TOO.”.

well, I guess Obama care did give them our Medicare, directly. They have it now, and we seniors practically DON’T HAVE MEDICARE anymore!

that is just a side subject, but doesn’t it get you riled up? You work for years and years, put all those billions of dollars into the government, just to get a little Medicare out when you fall over and retire, and all these other people come along, crowd into your insurance, and yell at you, “HEY! Move over! We want your Medicare too!” And you feel like shoving them in front of a train in a crowded subway.

show me a politician who can enable me to do that, and I will vote for him next election.

in the meantime, I’m going to concentrate on trying to breathe, amid the smoky oxygen, from forest fires that should have been prevented, and weren’t, and swearing under my breath about who should’ve done it. – And didn’t give a rats ass.

But, it is it REALLY TRUE? Can this huge tide of forest fires, which will obviously get worse every year, because of our overly burning weather, can it be ALTERED? Can it be changed at all? Can any of it be prevented by human beings in Oregon? So far, the state of Washington can’t stop it, there fires, and good old California who’s got monstrous huge forest fires, haven’t been able to stop them either or prevent any of them. So then, are those people correct who say that, we in Oregon can prevent SOME of our forest fires? I really didn’t know.

I was getting such conflicting opinions, without any evidence to back them, that I felt split in half; some of the opinion said, yes we should’ve been able to prevent some of it, and on the other side they said, NO, we can’t prevent our horrible Oregon forest fires. It is the price of “world climate change”.WAS California able to stop any of theirs? it didn’t look like it.add to that, we weren’t getting any honest reactions from the state government, or from the federal government about this. And all the states with huge forest fires were running out of money to fight them!

As to information about this, we were getting censorship, as usual from the media and the government’s definitely weren’t going to tell you anything. It would have to be individual experts who would chime in, and give some kind of evidence to back their opinions. That’s why I’m posting this, on this blog; we sure would like to hear from you all, no matter what your opinion is, about these Oregon forest fire danger now. Is there anything we can do to lessen it, or avoid any of it? Is it just a case of MONEY again? Or is it a case of politics, private industry, and lies and whispers?

(Sandraminadotty, cough cough, in Eugene Oregon; don’t forget to vote wisely, in the next election, because we absolutely need somebody running this state, who knows the fucking hell what they are doing.) 🙂

“VISIT THE HEALTHY, CLEAN WILLAMETTE VALLEY OF EUGENE, OREGON, LANE COUNTY!”

“Among  the many beautiful   and healthy places in Eugene, Oregon, is the downtown Plaza, affectionately known as the Wayne Morse Memorial statue– Plaza. This picturesque and beautiful downtown area, is one of the most modern downtowns in all Oregon; featured with designer stores, a Barney’s, and many other upscale, department stores and unique gift centers, and tourist shops, only to be compared with the most illustrious areas of downtown San Francisco California, and Manhattan in New York City.”.

“since the Valley of Williamette, a pollen free and wonderful playground of organic, green,-carbon footprint – free niches, is such a healthy place to live, people flock here to compete for the real estate and the few houses that are on sale. Living in Eugene is considered only equal to living in Beverly Hills California, or the upper West side of New York City. Add to that, a beautiful vacation home on Lake Como, Italy, and you have some idea of the Williamette Valley, only it is still a small town, quiet and smog free, with no freeway or traffic jams,one of the healthiest and most upscale places in the United States, or even the world, to live or to vacation in.”

“the political and equal opportunity atmosphere of Eugene, is so Democratic, fair, and equalized to every political and cultural taste, that you could find any kind of person here. Mostly, the upper-middle-class, the middle class, and the very well-paid working people live here, in some of the most modern and well-equipped homes rivaling only the type that Bill Gates lives in. We are talking MODERN! We are talking INNOVATIVE!”

“Plans to build a whole light rail system, through the whole valley, are on the books and are approved by the voters, who have voted in one of the most unbiased and  democratic governments in all of Oregon, or even the United States. Similar to the very democratic voting system of Switzerland, voters have every opportunity, to have discussion and free choice on every subject and problem, any free ranging system of voter planning groups, meet every month, to decide how to pursue any subject or situation that comes up in the Valley”.

“One of the most free minded mayors, Mayor Kitty, is a delight and a refreshing change from the usual male demagogue;this very open and free spirited person, who is adored and loved by every voter in the Valley, for keeping taxes down, having built a wonderful school system, with every luxury and advantage, is a whiz and a wizard at financial planning, and works so well with all the many businesses and all the many industries all through the County, that many job seekers come here, because this area is so well equipped with industry, large businesses, many small and medium-sized businesses and industries, and a huge roster of jobs and employment opportunities, that makes Silicon Valley look pale in comparison.”

“in addition to industry and business, the fantastic GREEN and organically-grown farms of Lane County, keep the area filled with nutritious and very reasonably priced, healthy, foods. Lane County is a model of modern organic farming, and one of the most nutritious and delicious rosters of foods in the whole world.” “

There are no GMOs or unnaturally bred types of vegetables or fruit, or any type of produce in the whole valley. In addition to this, the air is so clean and pollen free, because this green and organic wonderland does not produce pollen or allergies to hassle the Oregon nose or sinuses. Bronchitis and pneumonia are virtually unknown here, and the huge spate of world renowned doctors, physicians , and nurse practitioners, are exceptional, and Microsoft employees from Seattle often come to this Valley, to seek some of the most advanced and easily obtained medical treatments known in the United States or even the rest of the world. ”

“Not that anyone needs a doctor here! People are too busy filling their happy hours with golf, tennis, every outdoor sport imaginable, hunting, fishing, river rafting, learning any possible craft or educational skill, literature or art, or cultural endeavor. Senior citizens have been known to set up housekeeping here, and wonder why they never came here in the first place. The area boasts no typical low class, or homeless population, as the high real estate values and love of industry, rule out any places for the underemployed, or those on the mercy of the state and social services. This valley is beloved by University of Oregon students, most of which are natives of Oregon, as the University of Oregon admission prices and rates for class have all been down by the wonderful management staff.,and the long-standing and adored president of the University.” – –

“Haven’t you gotten that thing done yet?” Asked Carolyn, as I labored over a cold computer, with hot and asthmatic breathing system, and I looked at the clock. “It’s not time yet for me to go to the doctor,” I said,. “This is a horrible sinus infection, I was hoping to miss it this time.” “Well, all my friends are getting bronchitis, pneumonia, sinus infections, and every infection you can think of this summer,” returned Carolyn, taking off her face mask, as she had just come in the door. I wondered if those things really work, and keep all the pollen out of your face and your lungs.. Probably not; years ago it used to be grass seed burning,  and all the pollution from the lumber mill, now it was the very worst bunch of allergies, to out do California.

“you still have a fever?” Asked Carolyn, putting her hand on my  forehead.”no, I think it’s come down a little,” I answered, trying to finish up the advertising that the city and County was hiring me to come up with, that would probably be put in national magazines, as an advertising section.”but my head still feels like a big bass drum, I have so much pain medication in me I can’t feel anything – no, that’s a lie I can feel all of it.”

Carolyn looked over my shoulder, at the text I was putting into the processor; she whistled loudly, right in my ear. Ouch! “Wow the city is really paying you to write all this garbage? Aren’t you afraid you’ll get caught by the FBI or the CIA, for terrorism in print? These are some of the biggest lies I’ve ever seen, and that’s even for Oregon! “No pollution, no pollen, no homeless, high rates of employment with big wages;” girl, you are one of the biggest shit – swappers I have ever seen in my life! You need to be working for the federal government, you’re so good! Are you sure you didn’t write Obama’s last and first election speeches? “Hope and change”?”

I grinned, proudly; “this is my favorite part; democratic and free, and equal exchange of political and cultural views ever seen in the US, and that is our Valley.” Oh and get this; “taxpayers have a choice about everything in the government, including the schools.” Don’t you think I’m some kind of wunderkind of bull shit?”

“I’m so surprised that you acquiesced to writing this stuff, for the local government,” said Carolyn puzzled, “I know that you hate their guts, just like all the rest of us. What made you decide to go over?”

“I didn’t really,” I said, deciding to quit and close up the processor for now; I was feeling nauseated and even the pain medication wasn’t staving off the sinus pain.as usual, when I got sick, I had to go through a drop-in clinic, because my regular doctors clinic was to full up; even the drop-in clinic was filled with new Obama care patients, who would never be able to get a full-time regular GP; there weren’t enough doctors to go around, but it didn’t matter. I expected to die very miserable, in this Valley, someday, probably on morphine.”I just didn’t have enough money, and I was desperate. It’s not like there’s any other jobs around here, that pay anything over eight dollars an hour. – Unless you are a doctor.or, one of the out of state or foreign University of Oregon students, the little wealthy buggers!”

“Or, you have to work for the local government,” finished Carolyn. “Maybe you should stick your head under a cold faucet. Oh, I found out there’s this new American wonder drug – aspirin! Isn’t that really advanced and miraculous of them?ASPIRIN! Who would’ve figured? that’s their great new wonder drug! you suppose it cures cancer too?”  “I wish it would cure asthma, I wish it would cure all the smog on River road,” I muttered, putting on my face mask, as we were preparing to go out into the open atmosphere.I wondered when we were going to have to start using oxygen tanks to go outside. Soon enough.maybe I wouldn’t get my annual, summer miserable sinus infection, if I started using oxygen tanks.

(Sandramina, rushing to the bathroom to throw up, and have diarrhea at the same time, in Lane County, Eugene, Oregon, during the summer infection – rush, trying to get a doctor, and wishing I were in the old frozen Alaska that used to be. Hooray for the Arctic! The old Arctic! May we have a fifth ice age, and not a new pollen – encrusted, smog – wholesome Valley of Willamette, Eugene, OE!)    🙂          : (         

“CAN PEOPLE CHANGE?” AN ANSWER TO DEAR ABBY”, BY THE KNOW-IT-ALL IN EUGENE, OREGON

(CRUDE ,CHEAP PAINTING DEPICTING THE FINANCIAL STATE OF BADLY-MANAGED EUGENE)

there are those of us, who consider ourselves smarter than everyone else, more capable, and better at ruling towns, counties, states and countries better than others. In other words, we have very big egos. That pretty much nowadays describes everybody. Everyone thinks they know what to do, more than anyone else. So naturally we have columnists who write on “sex expertise, for gay and straight people” and “relationship and life advice for other people”. It’s bad enough we have to watch amateur TV shows, where some snide person decides you can’t sing, you can’t dance, and throws you off the show.  

as far as politics, we always select the guy who has the biggest mouth, and promises us the most, and tells us he can do better than anyone else. So, we elect the wrong people! We elect the people who promise us everything! Which of course is impossible. And we don’t want to hear from the other side “I can’t promise you everything, the government is overwhelmed, and we will have to cut a lot of it out, it in order for us to survive.” Somehow Germany did that, which explains why they are in better shape than the rest of the countries in the European union.maybe it’s because they like sauerkraut so well.  

But try telling an American that!the last thing they want to hear is, “you have to start cutting back, you cannot have everything you want,or maybe everything you need, you’re going to have to tighten your belt and be frugal.” Frugal is a word that no one uses anymore, because everyone refuses to try it. In fact, it’s become a bad word, in a nation that desires everything to be possible, even if they can’t afford it, and it will break the government eventually.try electing honest people; it’s not possible, because the public doesn’t WANT honest politicians! They want politicians to tell them exactly what they want to hear!they don’t want to hear, that everything is screwed up, and they’re going to have to go through hell to fix it.  

it reminds me of the way that most people approach life; reject reality. Just concentrate on what you want out of it, and that you deserve it, you’re going to get it, nobody’s going to stand in your way. However, life can cut down even Americans, to reality, and give them a really hard time because they’re not listening to it. For example, can you imagine an America where people can’t drive their cars as much as they want to anymore? Because gas is become too expensive? And they’re going to have to CHANGE what they expect, just like Europe has to take lots of public transportation. 

I won’t go into the financial ramifications of such an attitude. That you can BUY anything, and the government won’t fall on your head? That you can spend anything, and you won’t go broke? that business and big financial companies can be as crooked as they like, and no one will ever find out? There will never be any bad results?that EVERYBODY can afford a home? 

So the denial of reality in modern-day life, is something that we understand has been going on for many many centuries, probably back into ancient times. However, I don’t think ancient times handled it exactly that way. Reality tended to  hit solidly in the head, from the time they woke up in the morning, about their status and situation in life, and if you didn’t pay attention to it, you were screwed from the beginning. That didn’t stop the crowds in Rome that wanted bread and circuses and expected them. So we are not the first civilization to screw ourselves up from wanting pink champagne, pixies and fairies, and fairyland, and to print as much money as we like, and still have it actually have any value. People have been doing this all through history. 

But we’re only to speaking here, about the question that came to dear Abby in the newspaper recently. (That I will admit, right away that I am not a sage or genius, and I don’t know how to fix everything. That’s not what I’m saying.) However, it does give you an insight into the ways that society tends to lie to its people, for its own reasons. Somebody writes to” dear Abby:” and says,” dear Abby: do you think people can change?”of course dear Abby automatically says, “I assume you mean, change for the better. The answer is yes, of course people can change. With motivation, determination, and perseverance, people can accomplish almost anything they set their minds to.” 

OH BOY! That last bit was a load of BS! But it’s not unusual, it comes from psychologists and psychiatrists every single day. “Of course you’re going to get better, of course you’re going to get cured or get well.” It’s that “people can accomplish almost anything they set their minds to.” You probably heard something like that from your folks; they probably told you, if they were like mine and like a lot of people’s, “you can be anybody and anything you want to, in life dear!” – – Which sets you up for pretty bad disappointment in life. 

just watch that movie “fight club”, with Brad Pitt, and you’ll see what I mean. One of the reasons that the guys in the story, want a fight club, is they are so angry and exasperated, over getting lied to by society about the following message; “work hard, work long hours, do everything you’re supposed to do, be honest, be forthright, and you will eventually become the big boss.” But the characters in the movie have found out just the opposite; not everybody can be the big boss. In fact most people can’t!and careers and life have a lot more limits on them that we are told by society. And the guys in the movie, have to work so hard long hours, doing bull shit, to have fancy credit cards, and lots of credit, and even cars they don’t want, and pickup trucks they don’t want. And they’re very very angry about being lied to all this time.   

it is definitely a “THING” of Americans and America, that we are all told, maybe when we graduate from something, “go forth and conquer the world, and succeed and become the divine, make lots of money, become accomplished, and become tops in your career.” Of course nobody mentions that everybody gets told that, and not very many people can do that, there is not really that much room at the top.that’s why there are much fewer billionaires, then there are the rest of us who are poor. 

Maybe people told you,you should not try to make a living off of art; but they don’t tell you the reason WHY. They don’t tell you the reason is, so few people make a living off of a creative job, that one in 6 billion can do it. How about those odds? They really don’t tell you that. You have to find out later, and also find out that statistic.so you take it for granted, they mean that YOU can’t make a living off it, because you’re not good enough! Not the reason. You just assume that and they don’t tell you., Is because almost NOBODY makes a living off of it. And there are trillions and trillions of artists that are good. Look at the web, they’re all over the place.

of course, also when we’re young, we don’t want to hear people tell us, we can’t do something. So we go out and try to do it anyway. Instead of looking at the statistics and investigating the facts, we listened to people in art school, and teachers of art, because they want to make money off of our illusions. 

Which leads me to one of the first principles in life everyone should know; “we want to believe the lies we want to be true, not the real truth.”.maybe it sounds cruel, but it’s true. Especially society loves to lie to its members, and its members just lap it up.  

however, very important lying, in very important instances, can really fuck up your life. This is not one of those minor little white lies; like the one above, the politician promising the people in a democracy everything they want, and that nothing is impossible, and the politician is perfectly capable of doing it,   if you elect him, there are insidious ones that society just won’t let go of. 

we’re talking about the one that dear Abby just recited: “yes, of course people can change. With motivation, determination, and perseverance, people can accomplish almost anything they set their minds to.” That is a very particularly American piece of crap.  

In the first place, there are certain things about yourself, and about life that are impossible to change. And you have to look at that right now. You cannot change the age that you were born into, the financial and social matrix you were born into, your parents, your family, your talents, and all your physical attributes, including that part of your personality that is inherited from your parents.and it is true now, we’ve found out that personalities, are inherited to a great degree. Some people are just naturally more outgoing, and some people are always going to be more introverted. It goes with the inheritance of family. Some people are good at math, because everybody in their family has that kind of brain.or, everyone in your family is good at poetry or English, or writing. It’s just an inherited talent. 

So if you look at the statement that “of course people can change.” – That has to be explained.and it has to have some reality thrown at it. Changing your self is very very difficult, and very very limited. About the above circumstances, there’s not much you can change. For example, today in America, the statistics say that almost nobody changes their social and financial standing and moves to a higher one anymore. For what ever reasons, most of us are stuck in the one we are born into. We now have social and financial classes that are completely solidified.think of us, as becoming like England. your family comes from chambermaids, you are going to be a chambermaids. Hard to believe, but there it is.

and I can hear you saying, “but what about the exceptions to the rule? Look at Jay Leno.” Yes let’s look at Jay Leno how many of him are there? There’s one.there is also only one David Letterman. And there was only one Johnny Carson. There were not a whole lot of Johnny Carsons, who all made good.I can promise you one thing, that if you want to become Jay Leno, you are going to have to pay a very big price, which involves, doing anything you have to do, no matter what it is, to become him. To have his job. The reason being, there are plenty of other people who would kill their mother, or dump a baby into a garbage pail, just so they could become Jay Leno.It has a VERY big price on it.and there’s no guarantee, that if you pay the price, that you’re going to get the prize after all. There are no guarantees in life.

so the statement, “with motivation, determination, and perseverance,” does not include the very necessary things of “trickery, crookedness, lying, cheating, bribing, sleeping with, killing, marrying, and licking the boots of whoever you need to, to become the success.” I just love it where she says “people can accomplish almost anything they set their minds to.” Yes, I’m 67 years old, and of course if I go to very good doctors of fertility, I will be able to have a child at my age. I will also be able to strike it rich. I’ll be able to find a man, who’s very sexy and loves me and doesn’t care that I’m old. Not only that, even at this age, and from my bleak start, and the fact that I’m a woman, I can still run for president and become president of the United States.”

I just love that last one; no other woman who has ever run for her parties vice president or president, has ever been chosen by her political party,  to ever run for president! That’s because they are all run by MAN. MEN! And the one thing they fear, is women getting up in the world, going into politics, and having a chance rule as president. they are already scared to death of us,they won’t let us into very high paid blue-collar union jobs, how the heck do you think we are ever going to become president, unless we women organized, together, and conquered men in the United States, and took over the country!? 

Yes, I’m talking about, women would have to make war against men, very effectively, and win, and be dominant over the male sex. That’s what it would take. Too bad we’re not going to do it.the reason that’s the only thing that would work is, that is pretty much the only thing that men understand.that’s how they work with each other, and that’s  how they understand us.the submissive sex, and they are the dominant one.that’s exactly how they all compete, and work with each other, they don’t like to cooperate. They don’t like to work side-by-side, they like to take over.

Look at the way they manage all the nations.DOMINATE! Even the UN can’t get over it, they hate the Jews! WHY should they hate the Jews? Because there are lots of Jews influential in Hollywood? Even if that’s true, Hollywood is not the whole world.no, they hate the Jews, and want to destroy them, because they need some small nation, to destroy, because it makes them feel better and look better..also, and I believe this to be true, the largest majority of Jews are pretty intelligent. Let’s face it, most of the world hates intelligent people. They consider us to be an alien species. They can’t do anything about putting up with the huge computer nerds, because they can’t trash them anymore.but boy, if they get a group of physicists in a room, most people are going to feel inferior, and stupid, so they hate the physicists. “ALL SCIENTISTS ARE EVIL! Don’t believe them! Don’t believe what they say!”

. However we’ve got a long way from dear Abby’s little assertion that “people can change.” Is a very very mistaken, naïve, and a horribly simplistic statement. Try finding out, the statistics for how many alcoholics actually quit drinking. I know that a relative of mine, had the problem and asked their doctor, “what are my chances of quitting drinking?” And the doctor gave them the statistics of alcoholism. It was not good. Very few alcoholics quit drinking. Most of them don’t. My relative was intelligent enough to go to AA, and do everything they had to, and they quit drinking. But apparently it’s not as common as we think. The relative was in the minority.

just how hard is it actually to change things that you do? We’re not even talking about “changing your self.” Just your behavior. For example,you can tell by now, I am not very good at editing. And I have tried to change that in this blog! Over and over and over! So, am I ever going to be able to change that? I don’t know. For one thing I’m very verbose. When I latch onto a subject I tend to keep going..I even go back over this column, and try to cut out unnecessary things. But even cutting out stuff, I still have too big a column.that may be the reason, most professional novelists have their own editors, which edit their novel before it’s published. They can’t do it themselves.they just can’t cut up stuff and leave it out.

the next people you should probably talk to, and a lot of them, are psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and therapists. Depending on just how bad off someone is as a client or patient, ask them some of the ratios of change for the better that happen to their patients.if they’re honest with you, they’ll tell you that huge change in somebody that has very extreme bad behavior, or very bad mental or emotional illness,is not very common.

However, it’s very possible that there is SOME CHANGE for the better. At least, there’s a tiny bit of chance. It depends on how strong the person is, and how determined, and even the situation they been born into, as far as how much support they have enabling them to get any better, and of course, how ill they are. Schizophrenics, for example most doctors give up on.

In fact, personality disorders that are severe or, a lot of psychologists and psychiatrists won’t out right tell their patients, that they’re never going to change it.a lot of very bad personality disorders, especially if there is depression, I read, have about may be at the most 40% chance of getting better. And that’s only personality disorders. We’re not talking about the people who are in prison with very very severe illnesses, taking medication, who were so crazy they murder or are really bad criminals. People who murdered their parents.pedophiles. Rapists. Serial killers. Even regular criminals and crooks have an extremely hard time turning it around, outside, and living straighter lives. Even if they WANT to go straighter. If they have the tools, that helps a lot.

It’s also like asking the question, “how many drug addicts can quit taking drugs? Permanently?” That should’ve been tackled by dear Abby, because that’s one of the most difficult of all. Along with personality changes, and other things like, be able to manage stress during your life, or being able to avoid falling into depressions. That’s because our brains are not made for easily being able to evolve, or change. Once we are programmed from very early in life, that is usually it. And then we have to put up with it, or live with it, or, if we can’t change ourselves, try to change, even a little bit, our behavior.stay completely away from the sugar. Stay completely away from women or kids. (Take medication to disable us.) Stay in prison, so we don’t murder anymore. Go to anger management classes, and then, if that doesn’t work, when we lose our temper and do ridiculously horrible things, they’ll put us back in stir again.

but changing a personality? dear Abby is being completely naïve and avoiding reality herself. Have you ever even tried to go on a diet successfully? Many people have, and many people have failed. Even if you lose the weight, there is a very high rate of recidivism, gaining all the weight back, including more. That part about “motivation, determination, and perseverance” being able to “accomplish almost anything” is one of the tackiest statements I’ve ever heard.

“almost anything”.well, I’d like to be a very cute baby pig, with wings and fly around.

Talk about dear Abby not facing reality? She was doing okay with “motivation,” because that seems to have a high chance of success, sometimes. But “almost anything”? Can I still have the baby at age 67? And all the other impossible questions I just wrote up  there? Oh, and I’m going to marry one of the Trump family and get filthy rich?and although I’ve had a lot of depression most of my life, I’m going to get rid of all of it by the time I die?

Oh my God, did I just hear the heavens tear apart, burst into flame, and go up in smoke?

yes, I did.and I’m going to run for president, and be the first female president in the White House. – – After I make war on all men in the United states, and win, put most of them in chains, and make sure they don’t get out of them.

and recently did I hear the words “hope and change”? – Being batted around, again?the worst of that, being the word “change” when the federal government and the political system is hopelessly gridlocked, and locked into a old refrigerator freezer.

Of course there’s room for change! I have plenty of nickels and dimes in my pocket!but what I really need, are $20 bills.I’m just saying, the next time you hear someone say, “OF COURSE people can change” you should determine just what it is you have to change, and just how big a price you’re willing to pay, and even if God will accept the payment or not. Because the next time I hear some politicians say, “hope and change,” I’m going to get out my shotgun, and make him duck.

QUACK! QUACK!! QUACK!.

And you should take Dear Abby with a grain of salt.
