Bank CEO's Get Millions, Here in CA We Get A Tax IOU

9 Feb

Wow, thanks Washington. Your “bailout money” went to my bank’s CEO who apparently isn’t aware of the recession and depression in the horizon. Instead he used his money management skills to spend $1 million to decorate his office – including buying a $1,405 trash can – and rushed out billions in executive payouts just days before his firm went under.

For whatever reason you decided to manage our money by allowing this CEO bonus to the very people who managed all the loans to American Citizens who could never afford houses, Wall Street and their “gambling problem”, now all results in California people who can manage their money well – to receive a scrap piece of paper stamped with “IOU”“if you’re desperate, ask your bank’s CEO if he could lend you part of his Million Dollars we decided to give to him as a bonus. Since he was so smart to give your neighbor who has the foreclosure sign in their lawn a loan.”

Wow… way-to-go Washington. Great way to ‘bail us out’. Can’t wait to receive my money this Tax Season… uhh… errr… wait, can’t wait to receive your ‘IOU” paper. I hear you – you promise to send it soon… right after you approve of all those Corporate Bonuses.  Get the “top people” first because they’ll for sure give you money… no worries, ‘schmooze away’ – I’ll wait here and eat my Food Storage in the meantime. ;)

Oh, and btw – do you think I could follow your example and send an IOU in my Tax Return to the IRS? I’m running really low on cash… or – we could just call it even this year? Even better – let’s both approach the rich people in this Country and make a really pretty offer – maybe they’ll lend us some!

Mellow Sunday

8 Feb

My mind is foggy – full of thoughts about Texas, and about how much we love where we live in Cali. The comparison between our apartment here and the ones we found in Texas… there really isn’t any comparison. The Texas Apartments are BY FAR *SO* much better. But, our friends here in Cali, are irreplaceable. Our ward, is phenominal here. It chokes Clark and I up – the thought of leaving our ward and friends. :(

Clark and I have plans to present an offer to our Favorite Apartment in Texas tomorrow. They said the rent would be $906, but could go lower. We will offer to pay $800, and if they accept we’ll sign right away. We decided to go a bit extreme in what they offered to us, and felt that if they grabbed the bait at $800- it would be such a miracle that we’d have to take it – can’t get any better than that for all that we would receive! :)

Again, we’re VERY sad to leave all the people we love. We realize we’ll make friends in TX and come to love our new ward… it’s just so hard to start over.

* Slideshow has been added to my previous post about TX. Pictures of the house we LOVE and plan to purchase in the near future… most likely after we’ve settled ourselves in TX.

I Gave My Cat's A Bath

7 Feb

It’s a traditional routine to give my kitties a bath every time we return home from a trip. The reason being is I like to keep my cats clean, healthy and happy and because while we leave, they’re romping around their litterbox and stink.

They are none-too-happy when receiving their bath, but are very cuddly and happy – running around the apartment after they dry themselves.

I love observing their extreme differences in personality while giving them their bath. Tiny sits in the corner with an angry face while I scrub her down, Hero is so needy and burrows his head into me and often times wraps his arms around my leg. They couldn’t be more different – I love it.

A fantastic video I came across. The Church has a worldwide youth program that is absolutely amazing and full of talent.
