BOYS CANT AFFORD TOYS

Up at keuka lake people didnt see many boats or jetskis people having a lot of fun in the water.People couldnt afford it with gas prices so high this summer.People couldnt even drive up to the lake.I wonder if the holiday season will be bad this year for stores.Maybe people wont be able to afford a big christmas for their kids or even any christmas.Maybe stores will have to let go holiday help early and even let people go who worked places a long time.I know christmas has become very materialistic and the meaning has been lost.Maybe the bad economy will bring us back to the true meaning of christmas.

KEUKA LAKE TAXES

This is beautiful keuka lake the cottages were reassessed this year and taxes went way up.For people to afford these cottages they will have to rent them for a month out of the summer.

MY DOG RINGO

We got ringo in 1993 shes a beagle mix she just now is slowing down

EMPTY DOWNTOWN ELMIRA

All the stores have moved up to consumer square in horseheads.Like walmart,bestbuy,circuit city and the mall and movie theatre.Downtown elmira has become a ghost town.

RECEPTION AT ST ANTHONYS LAST MASS

PACMAN JONES ISNT WORTH THE DISTRACTION

Adam jones is causing the cowboys to be distracted from their goal of winning the superbowl.The cowboys already have the qb hurt the punter and another corner back hurt.Jones isnt even playing that good dallas has drafted two rookie corner backs and has newman.They bought more insurance getting a receiver from the lions.Let pacman go and get help dakkas will be better off.

CASHIER SUCKS

Ive been a cashier at walmart now three weeks.I dont like like it very much people are very rude ive noticed they are also very impatient.ID LIKE TO MOVE TO ANOTHER JOB AT WALMART BUT they say theres nothing available.My job specialist scott has been talking to my supervisor nate i hope to not be a cashier much longer

DIABETES

I have had diabetes for about a year now i take janumet i was taking byetta but didnt like giving myself the shots.These pictured are very important tools for diabetics i forget to test tho but i can tell when my sugar is high.I see my medical dr evert 4 months i see a specialist in diabetes twice a year.I have to be seen more often by a foot dr and eye dr because diabetes effects my sight and feet and organs.

IS PACMAN KILLING COWBOYS

Is the cowboys getting pacman jones killing the cowboys?The cowboys are very talented now they lost two in a row why

WEGMANS VS WALMART

I have worked as a cashier at both walmart and wegmans they have two different philosophies on training people.Walmart has a long orientation teaching you the job with computer based learning.You have to complete a certain number of computer courses before you start your job.Then they throw you right on the register and you have a person bagging for you for 3 days.Then you are expected to do the job.Wegmans has a orientation day then as a group you are trained on the cash register.They go over a training book and we practice with each other taking each other as customers.Then after a week we take real customers but we have a sign on our registers telling we are trainees.I like wegmans way a lot better.

JIM BROWN ON BEST DAMN

This clip was Jim brown on best damn sports show talking about his teammate Ernie davis who wasnt born in elmira but went to elmira free academy high school my hometown.

WAR WHATS IT GOOD FOR

When i was 18 i didnt want to sign up for selective service.My grandfather was mad at me he told me its a honor to service your country and your duty.Both my grandfathers served in wwII and i have other family in the army now.I guess if i want to enjoy freedom it is my duty if called to serve my country.

MCCAIN REPORT CARD

Mccain wants to make across the board cuts in programs except in veteran programs and a few other vital programs.According to veteran report card groups Mccain gets a D on his support of veteran programs.Obama received a B. Mccain is disabled in a way from war injuries.This was suggested by a person who commented on my post.True there is a lot of fraud in these programs people want money for nothing and put the burden on other people.Mccain has a lot of money and can afford the best medical programs.A person like me taking a lot of medicines feels a pinch on his pocket.At walmart i have to fill out a accommadation packet and have dr note to affirm the diagnosis.

CINDY MCcAIN

The McCains are getting desperate i think talking about Obama not supporting the troops.I dont believe we should be in this war but i do believe we should fully support the troops.Do you people think Palin is hurting or helping Mccain.Do you think Tina fey playing Palin had any effect?

DEBATE 10/7/08

Tell me if im wrong but i think McCain was saying he wants to cut entilments like ssd and ssi and food stamps and welfare.Many people really need those programs He said he dosent wanna cut veterans programs i dont feel thats fair.McCain seems very stiff like a puppet to me and a big phony what do you guys think.
