SENIORS BEWARE!!!!!

You really need to beware of all the SCAMS being directed at us seniors. I guess they the scammers think we are easy targets and I guess some of us are. We go back to a generation when a man's word meant something you took faith in. That day is gone.
The scammers are more experience now  with all these new ways they have come up on how to scam us. Well,we need to start being a little more alert to their tactics. We just had one here where emails were sent out telling people their credit cards account has been compromise so would you please call a certain phone number and give them your account information. It was advertise in the local papers for several days and they still ended up scamming some people out of and over  $100.000.
They are very smart in their methods to scam you. So BEWARE  when you get an email or phone call asking for your credit information. If they contact you by phone and say they represent a company you deal with then ask them for their name and phone number because you will have to get back to them in a few minutes because you are busy at the moment. Then call that company they say they represent and ask them if they had just contacted you by phone for this information.
If not call your police dept right away and give them the information you have collected. If this company will not give you this information just hang up because it's not legit. When face with a decision of giving out your credit information to someone over the phone always protect yourself first and ask for help from someone you trust. SAD

OUR DOG LADYBUG..

We had a golden retriever name Lady. She was with us for a wonderful 13 years. When is finaly became ill and past away we were so heart broken. She had become like a big part of our family. We decided not to have another dog because we didn't want to go through the same feelings again.

Well we went for two weeks and missing haveing Lady around my wife and I were miserable and I just decided we needed another dog to help take away the pain and loneliness that we felt. So I decided to go to the animal shelter and see what was there. When I walked throught the shelter I didn't see anything of interest until I started to leave. All alone in a pen off to the side I saw a little shadow of a dog so I went to the door of the pen and knelt down to were I could get a better look and there curled up in the corner was this solid black bundle.

I softly said hey there and a beautiful small black head slowly rose up and turned it eyes toward me and for a moment we just stared at each other. I had never seen a dog so completely black. She got up and slowly came over to me and sat down and I knew then she would be a heart breaker. I slowly put my hand throught the gate and she smelled it and finaly started to lick it and I was hook looking into those black sad eyes. I found out from the attendent that it was a she and she was a full blooded flat coat black retriever the first I had ever seen. She was eight months old and was drop off by a family that had to move out of state for work and could not have a animal at their new home. I knew the attendent real well from over the years helping with food donations to the shelter and I asked her if she was up for adoption. She said she was but they would be very cautious who they allowed th adopt her. But she said We would have no problem with adoption because she said we knew she would get a wonderful home with my wife and I.

Now all I had to do was convince my wife because she wanted another golden retriever hum. Well I knew this was going to be interesting to say at least. First I needed a picture of this dog to help me in my persuation to adopt her,so we took a picture of her and away I went knowing the attendent would hold the dog until I contacted her to let her know our decision.

WHERE'S THIS COUNTRY GOING ( PART 5 )

I really don't care what party you are affiliated with or are a independent do you really feel like Washington is listening. I feel like the one thing that is hurting us all we have forgot we are Americans first. That we need to pull together to pick the best men to run our government. If you listen to all the hog wash from both sides you start wondering is anybody telling the truth anymore. They tell us what we want to hear and then do what their told by powerful powers in Washington to what they can do and we all know who the controls the power in Washington.

It's sad what we have let Washington and it's powerful allies get away with because we are so divided by party affiliations. If you look real close you can see we the American people have lost our voices in our cooperate capital. We spend BILLIONS nation building around the world and you know who paying for it The lower class Americans. You notice I did not say middle class. We all know there are only two classes in this great country. That's the UPPER and the LOWER. time to face the reality. The seniors trust funds turned out to be Washington's piggy bank till it ran out of money. Now it's the so call middle class and lower class that has become Washington's piggy bank. We the seniors did not ask for all these entitlement's but were shove down on us by large cooperation's back by government controls.

SO HERE WE ARE. Broke no money to sustain them, fraud and abuse running rampant in all these entitlement's and a government that will step over a dollar to save a dime and what is our government about it. 
sitting in their ivory tower accusing each other for this mess we are in when both have created it. Mean while 14 or so millions Americans wonder where their next job or meals for their families are going to come from..

Shame America, Shame Mr President and Shame Congress and Senate and all you CEO's sitting in your towers of GREED. You know who you are. SAD

WHERE'S THIS COUNTRY GOING ( PART 4 )

WOW!
We the seniors of this country have really mess this country up with all these entitlement's we have been given. The strange thing about all these so called entitlement's we have I don't ever remember asking for them.

I remember paying into social security and Medicare and that's all. So where did all these so call programs come from that the politicians are saying are bankrupting America. Who pushed us into the prescription drug program. Then partD, Medicare advantage program and now health care for everyone.I'll tell you large corporations because they discovered an untapped income source from seniors with all these new programs and now it's coming back and biting them in the BUTT. We the seniors of this country know from experience when a politician Tell's you they have come up with a new program for us (Hang On To Your Wallet ).
Do you really think that our politicians came up with these programs on their own. If you think they are really that smart shame on you or I have some water front property I will sell you cheap in Death Valley. Please don't give our politicians that much intelligents.

where's this country going ( part3 )

Have you really thought about where the next true Armageddon will hit. Well it's already happening. Just take a look at the world weather. Look at all the crop failures happening around the world. We know whats coming.
Thousands of people will starve to death because of all these crops failures. Soon a basket of wheat or corn will cost the same as a barrel of oil. Are you preparing for it. I have started buying some nonperishable items. I can be wrong but I would feel a Little better if my pantry was stocked. Just look around the world at all the people starving right now and it is coming to our shores to.
We have always been there to help feed the world when needed but the the disasters we have had in our farm belt, alot of crops have been lost. You don't see many people on TV or in Washington talking much about it. I am not trying to alarm people but please pay attention to what going on in the world with all the ,drought's, flooding, wild fires,earthquakes and wars. There are around seven billion people on this earth. That's alot of people to feed in the best of times.

I am just saying just don't get caught off guard. Pay attention to whats going on around the world with the weather in all the different countries. I hope you understand this message I am trying to get out to you. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA..

WHERE'S THIS COUNTRY GOING ( PART2 )

WOW! I just heard this morning that we are looking at sending ( THREE BILLION DOLLARS ) to Afghanistan to continue to rebuild their country and to keep their country from going into a recession. Is there something wrong with this picture??

We all know that the people of these here United States of America are always there to help where help is needed but as with anything there has to be an end. Our white house and congress ( corporate headquarters ) in Washington seem to have forgotten  our own American people's needs. Parts of our own country has been
devastated by oil spills,huricanes,floods, Forrest fires and droughts in some area's. Where do we look to for help?
Some say we are already in a recession and some say we aren't in one. Well i guess it depends on how much money u have in ur pocket. We all know about tax breaks who they really help. But lets face reality. You are not going to get companies back from overseas when they pay a average wages of $ 80.00 a month in China who's kidding who. People around the world wanted products made in America because they always were made to last. Yes we took pride in what we made but now that is gone forever because greed is more important then quality. Now we buy 30% of the worlds cheap crap. China lends us back our own money that we spend on items produced there.
So the question is where is Washington when the American people need them now. How about lets get the people in this country back to WORK and then worry about the other problems. You have to have monies coming in to really know what you can really cut. I think Washington is in a state of BRAIN FOG. while they beaker back and forth we The American people do the suffering.. GOD BLESS AMERICA FOR AS LONG AS SHE CAN STAND!!

WHERE'S THIS COUNTRY GOING.

You know it's sad to listen to our Congressmen & Women along with our Senators and President talk about the condition of our economy when we know they are incapable of solving it. We the people really know that they have lost all power to Banks and large Corporations. The same people that got us in this mess are running our government. I guess we will never learn. They have taken all the monies the Americans people have paid into social security, medicare and just wasted it to help their friends that put this country in the mess we are in. We listen to what they want us to hear and then do what they want to do. Do they think the American people are that ignorant.
The question is do we indicate that to them? That they can just lead us around on a lease. We the American people have let this go on for so long we have LOST Washington. Now our capital is being run by Crooks and Greed. It is amazing how much money this country will spend to kill people. But when it comes to helping our own people they flutter like butterfly's. Our government will step over a Dollar to save a Dime.

So what the answer well maybe we need to take back Washington. Let get the politician's out who are more concern about their future's then the country's problems. We the American people know what the problems are and I think we know how to solve them but do we have the fortitude in us to stand together and do it that is the question. We the American people are the Blame because we have turned a blind eye to what has been going on in Washington for so long. To see the problems of this country clearly just look into a mirror. This is just one old man's opinion
