WRITERS ON STRIKE

When I turned on the news this morning the first thing I heard that there is a writer's strike in the entertainment industry. I guess the writing is left up to us bloggers now and there will be nothing to watch on TV--like there ever is.

I found the news quite amusing, actually, when it was announced that we have a "robust economy" after the newscaster had just announced that the stock market is down, crude (hence gasoline) is at its highest price ever, realestate is in the toilet and the dollar is losing in the world market. How "robust" is that? Is anyone besides me tired of having to stay at home because I can't afford to go anywhere and each month wondering if my fixed income will stretch to meet all my needs--talking needs here and not wants?

Onward and upward this week to all who read me. I will pick up Trevor after school today and entertain him--he usually does his homework. Tonight I am going to a local concert featuring the current "up and coming" musicians in the area.

Bloggers keep up the writing. It is nice that some of us are making the effort to reappear after having been on our own hiatus for whatever reasons. Have a good day.

    Speaking of a fixed income. You're not old enough to be on Social Security yet are you? If so, have you signed up for Medicare Part D? If not, let me know, I can give you some of the best names to go with that will knock any of your prescriptions down to just $5 or less. Of course, WalMart may be even easier, but it would really help. I need to talk to your mom about it to. I know Aunt Gwindy was asking about it, but I don't know if she ever got signed up or not. I need to contact Teresa about it I guess.
