no more taxes more taxes

NO MORE TAXES MORE TAXES
🐀

when i do our budget for the year
i figure out how much we will have in income
then
i do a budget to fit our spending to fit that budget
no credit card debt no borrowing money to live on

so
at the end of the year
we live within that budget
we have accumulated no more debt

thats the way it seems most financial folks recommend
that you do

now this new tax bill thing
i read about it in the left media and the right media and
the in between media
how can they all say three different things

actually
when i read that stuff
i get real blurry eyed
i get vertigous
i get to where i cant concentrate
i get to where i cant even think

i have tried to put our income into the proposal to see
how it would affect us
you know how you feel if you are so tired you cant think
well
thats how i feel when i try to figure it out

all i know is that i want to pay my fair share of taxes
but
not more than that
and
at the end of the day
i dont want our country to have this big pile of debt

all seem to agree though
at the end of the rainbow for the new tax bill
there is a pile of debt
$1.5+-trillion of it

sorry
none of us should accept this

it just seems
like they are hiding something
this carrot is being offered us
a tax cut for the middle class

what i want to know is what will
bill gates pay jerry jones pay the koch brothers pay
donald trump pay those millionaire congress folks pay
those millionaire athletes pay

then
what will a couple who are both working pay
what will a struggling mom with a kid pay
what will a retired grandparent pay
etc

then
for me
what would i have paid in my prime
what will i pay now

now i am all for simplifying the tax code
just
make sure we all pay our share
make sure that those richer than most of us
well
they should pay more
i think most of us agree with that

when i look at the tax bill
it just doesnt smell right

i am sure if it was the democrats doing a bill
it probably wouldnt smell right either
they tend to go too far the other way

if it looks like a rat smells like a rat
its probably a rat

this new tax bill
well
the odor is there

bummer year

BUMMER YEAR
😞
now i love my sports
im not like overly obsessed with it like
some folks are
thanks
mostly
to the invention of the dvr

so
now i know i can watch the games when i want to
on my on terms

it seems to relieve some of the tension
when i would say
i cant go to that whatever
the cowboys are playing

now
i sort of dont really well maybe a little
have an excuse

if sports went away from my life
i would survive
but barely

my teams that i am the most for
are
the cowboys
the longhorns football and mens basketball
with peripheral watching of the womens team

i really dont have a nba team that i consider
my team
like i do with football and the cowboys

i just look for a good nba team to watch play
or
good players like lebron or stephan or kevin

in baseball i like the rangers and the astros
but
during the year i dont watch any of the games
i really didnt know the astros were that good
until they made it to the world series
i usually just peripherally keep up with the
astros and rangers

so
my teams
what i call my teams
are
the cowboys
the longhorns
thats it

the rest i just like to watch good sports whether its
soccer or womens basketball or volleyball or softball
now i usually watch the womens softball world series
and the little league world series
i do watch the nba playoffs when all the bad teams
get eliminated

it just takes up too much time
all those games
i got better things to do than to sit all day and watch games
so
i usually watch via dvr so it shortens the time i commit to
watching the game

my preference is watching the game by myself with
no one else around

i prefer no conversations

so
i am having a bummer year
the longhorns football is sort of falling apart
with glimmers of hope here and there
with glimmers of a better year next year

the cowboys
sorry jerry
its not the commissioners fault that the running back
beat up his girlfriend
just because the charges were dropped doesnt mean
it didnt happen
your running back needs to look in the mirror
accept what he did
pay the punishment
then
learn from this
and
how to treat women better

quit defending him
he has a lesson to learn
maybe
you need to learn one too

i dont think the cowboys will make it to the playoffs
this year
they just dont seem to feel right when i watch them play

so
ill continue to watch my teams play
watch the good teams win like the rams the saints the eagles
i personally now look for their games to watch
but
as a sports fan its a bummer year
maybe what i need to do is pick a favorite team
in each sport and follow them closer

nope
aint got time for all that

alzheimers newa-veterans and alzheimers

ALZHEIMERS NEWS-VETERANS AND ALZHEIMERS

today is veterans day
i would like to thank those in my family who served in the military
my three older brothers all served and retired from the military
my moms brother was shot in the pacific war during ww2
two brother in laws served also
there are multiple extended family members who have served
a great nephew is serving now in the marines

so
tomorrow is veterans day
i would like to thank them all for their service

no matter your politics you should do the same to those
in your family who are serving now or have served

today on veterans day
i ran across several articles on veterans developing alzheimers
here is a link to one of them
it seems as a whole they have a similar incidence as the general
population

however
those who suffered traumatic brain injury or tbi are 60%
more likely to develop alzheimers than those who didnt
have the brain injury or tbi

if you add ptsd or dementia to the mix the numbers get worse

my concern is
the number of these injuries that have occurred over the
last decade or so in the middle east wars
these are mostly young folks who got these brain injuries
they sad to say are
at a much higher risk than you and i to get alzheimers

thats a tough price to pay for serving your country
maybe right behind giving up your life for your country
they are just doing it in a slower more painful way
a more expensive way for society

so as we celebrate veterans day today
honoring those who serve
lets us remember to help these veterans who are destined
to enter that alzheimers disease decline that happens
as they get older

thanks again to all those who served

thanks to cdn and rln and hdn for serving
we are proud of you

hn thanks for serving now
