Sam inspected my fall decorating at the church
We tried to take a new picture for the top cover picture for the blog. This was the best we could do today. Everyone was hungry and ready to go eat LOL
This picture is ok and I love the little grin Shad has as he peeks around Sarah:)
I'll use it until we can get a better one.

Been thinking a lot about this country and the way it is headed. I don't care for the way things are going at all. America has always been a good strong county. There were standards that folks lived by. No one was perfect but when I compare America now, to even when I was a child or teen, it is lacking! The government AND the people!
This whole shut down.....I'm so tired of folks whining about it. First let me say I don't want to see anyone going without a pay check but I feel the president is making things worse than they have to be. I feel he is inciting fear and not trying to work for any compromise at all. Most American don't want "obamacare or "the Affordable Health Care Act" Most folks don't want to see our debt ceiling raised yet again.... Most folks want to see the government have to balance the budget....but when some law makers try to fight for our rights, for what we want, THEN we fuss about how hard it is. Thank God we already fought the Revolutionary War and won because we as Americans have no backbone today! We'd just sit back and complain about England over a few beers or tea and do nothing else!
I see news reports on how the President is shutting down war memorials (really? I've been there, they are just pieces of rocks....they were opened 24/7 with no guard on them when we were there) The president is ordering for things to be "made hard" for folks. He is on tv wondering "why" the stock market has not responded much to this gov't shutdown. (that's smart let's just make matters worse...) He orders part of the gulf to be closed down. He says he is not going to compromise on any point with others.....
If you are interested this is a good explanation of what is going on. It explains the shutdown better than anything I've read.
We need to be calling our House and Congress telling them to balance the budget asap....work together and get it done! This is ridicules!
I am GLAD that the HOUSE ( you know the Republican controlled house that is so evil) passed a measure giving back pay to everyone affected by this when it is over. Of course that doesn't help the non government employees affected.....
Just some of my thoughts on this.....

Selah had a big poopie and seems to feel better...I know TMI...she now needs meds to go, we are giving her lots of prune juice but it doesn't seem to be helping. I'll be calling GI tomorrow to talk with them about this. When she hasn't gone, she actually gets congested like it is pushing up in her lungs. It's odd. And her heart rate goes up too. We don't want to get her on laxatives so the nurses give her suppositories which are said to be less habit forming. She doesn't need much to go but she isn't going with out that help now. Anyhow she seems to feel much better now. Thankfully! Please keep her in your prayers!
Respectfully, The President isn't shutting down anything. The House of Representatives are the group responsible for shutting down the government including NIH and National Parks. The affordable care act was passed by both houses of government and signed into law. It is the law of the land done following our rules of law. To change it both houses have to agree. Bringing the government to a standstill as they are currently doing will not change anything. .
ReplyDeleteThe shutdown is FAR more than funding Obamacare. It is an attempt to balance the budget and to not raise the debt ceiling. We as a nation are boggled down in debt and have no way to deal with it. The president is ordering crazy things done like trying to shut down the Gulf around the Keys.....he is spending more money by placing officers there that are not usually there...it is beyond crazy!
