Retirement come, retirement put on hold

A few years ago I retired from the work force. 

It lasted about two months until my ex-employer called me and begged me to un-retire. (Seems my replacement lied about experience.) I went back with the understanding I'd work two or three days a weeks, and I got to choose the days. 

That lasted about six months and all hell broke loose. Business was booming and I was very reluctantly working full time again. 

Now the wheel has turned and I'm scaling back again. This time, I've agreed to ease into my departure. Beginning in August, I'm on a four-day workweek. As soon as a new hire comes in, it'll be three days a week. Then two. 

And then, please God, may I please actually and permanently enter my post-employment years and become The Lady of the Manor?

PS. I may even get around to reviewing some of the better books I read. 

So this is what happens when you forget you've got a blog

Yes, I forgot I started a blog. Perhaps it's disappointment with my inability to finalize my retirement. The universe has conspired to keep me working due to its own nefariousness. I'm certainly ready but every time I set a date, people start to weep. 

Other people. Not me. 

So maybe some day I'll actually be able to blog about books, politics and life. SOON. I need it to be SOON.

The Hidden Impact of Obamacare

Anyone with a brain knew this. Read it before the leftist elite takes it down - because it's true.

Everything you've worked for all your life - you're about to lose it. 
Who has money to buy it?
Folks, it won't be someone born in the United States.

The Hellbound Train

Once again - raise your hand. Who didn't know we're on the Hellbound Train?

Read it quick before the elite press pulls the plug on the page.

Once again - who didn't know this would be the new reality?

At the risk of getting Yahoo all pissed off at me - you know how those left-wingers are - here's a link to an Obamacare story. Hope you can get to it before they pull the plug on the story.

Make sure you read the last paragraphs, kiddies. It sums it up in two words: Obama lied.

And if you think we're not all being watched, you should have been looking over my shoulder as I tried to get that link to actually work.

I've died and gone to hell, right?

I've died and gone to hell, right?

Vladimir Putin has an editorial in the New York Times. (I'll never spend money in the Big Apple again, either, by the way.) I can't read it because I don't have an account, nor will I ever now, but I don't need to read it. Just the mere fact it happened tells me all I need to know.

I would hope the Democrats and other Liberals are smart enough to realize what just happened, but I know they're not.

We just handed the reins of the planet over to the RUSSIANS.

Way to go, Mr. "President." Way to fucking go.

Paula Deen - I''ve got to ask...

.. Does no one appreciate the fact she did NOT lie under oath? 

If this is any kind of a lesson to anyone at all, the lesson is that it's safer to LIE than to be truthful. You bet your ass I'll remember it. I feel sorry for her that:

#1 She grew up in a place and a time it was okay to use words we now consider inappropriate. Too bad her crystal ball didn't show her how the world would change. 

#2 She grew up in a time when privacy was respected and it was acceptable to NOT go on facebook and tell the world the intimate details of your health. Too bad for every one alive there is no value placed on privacy today. 

#3 She now has the option of retiring and spending her days in her garden and taking care of herself. Who in their right mind would want to live like that? 

This is but a little blip in the life of Paula Deen, but it serves as a wake up call to America. 

You must CONFORM OR BE CAST OUT. 

If you have a brain in your head, you'll be frightened of where this society is headed.
