doing laundry, and putting away the many loads I washed but then dumped on the floor.  I have way too many socks.  I guess I need to toss the ones with the hole in the toe...I always wash the ones with the holes one more time, thinking I will toss them after the next wearing.  but I wash them, and keep them for one more wearing.  I have in front of me a whole laundry basket of unmatched sox, and a full sock drawer of those that found their mate. 

I know most of you are sick of my "best day of my life" schitck.  It is the way I feel now, but I know some folks that are not having the best day of their life.  I wish I could do something for them....but they have to find their way...I had a few things go on in the last 5 yrs that changed me from unhappy and depressed to the reasonably happy person I am now....but when I was lost in the darkness of depression, I never thought I'd escape.  But I did..with some new approaches to old situations.  and I am better for it.  and happy.  The divorce is just the icing on the cake (sorry - couldn't resist). 

life is too short...but such sayings are empty and trite to a person in the middle of fighting a battle.  as you no doubt have seen posted elsewhere, everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.  so very true. 

I had a really funny story to write, but not tonight.  I also am going to start writing a book I have been meaing to write.  but it's like when you are reading 2 books simultaneously - you finally realize you should focus on one then finish it.

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov. Fudd   Quinn has come up with yet another bit of geniusness....giving a tax break to families with kids.  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/pat-quinn-taxes-state-illinois-speech-families-20120128 at a time with a bottomless pit of a budget deficit, and handing out tax breaks to every corporation threatening to leave Illinois, we are cutting more taxes to a special group...now, just who do you suppose will be asked to make up the difference?  and, of course, when the TEMPORARY income tax increase expires, what then. How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain't goin

Not much left in 2011...and each day we are a bit closer to spring... The toilet that is Illinois will be enacting over 200 new laws at the start of 2012. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/new-year-comes-with-more-than-200-new-illinois-laws-2012-20111228 In these laws, I cannot find: - a law limiting pension abuse, and illegal enrichment - a law limiting the public's exposure to pension debt - a law prohibiting insider deals from  politicians - a law prohibiting municipalities from selling assets that have been paid for by citizens - a law prohibiting illigal aliens from parasitically consuming resources paid for by legal residents the list could go on forever.  these 200 new laws are largely to keep the middle class in line so the rich can continue to be richer. and if you throw out your compter, prepare to be fined. Illinois - what a shithole.
