Octopussy and just me bitchin
What is going on with people and kids these days? Octopussy is a nut case like my neice, just spittin out babies like it is the only thing they are meant to do, never mind taking care of them. It seems criminal.
My bitch of the day.
The old one got into money trouble a few years ago, I gave her a somewhat of a bailout. I paid her up and she dug the hole again. By then I just took over paying her bills, many months paying them all but not all. The bottom line was and is she has more going out than she does coming in. Much like this country. I have dug her back out and have actually made progress on the dept and todays complaint from her is….. maybe I am stealing her money. This woman is of very sound mind, only gets a bit confused for the most part. I knew she didn’t really mean it, she couldn’t but what it told me was that she needs to have some control back. Now I have to decide just how much without it costing me a ton, I do not have a ton to bail her again. I just had to laugh at her and ask… "What, you afraid I am stealing your debt". She replied "No, I am going to leave that for you when I die". Hhahahaha. She tried to back track but I was already on game and told her she is taking back paying her own bills. She yelped something silly like how much that is going to cost her in stamps. I assured her she will be fine but she is taking it over. It was cute (to me) because she was really really trying not to have to do that! She was saying she couldn’t add and subtract… yes, I told her you can and you are. I won’t let you get in trouble but you need to know the mess you are in so you get those thoughts that I may be taking a dime from you. I also told her she should question anyone that is handling her monies and I take no offense to that part. I am going to have to watch her very carefully though and that is more work than just doing it but I’ll be damned if I am going to listen to crap. I printed out her statement and showed her to the penny what she has and then I printed from my account every bill I had paid of hers to keep her afloat. Hub didn’t like what was happening and called me to the side and offered to take me to lunch. I jumped on that! He told me DO NOT give another dime, that she needs to see clearly where she is at. It only pissed him off because he knows how much I have given her over the years and he knows she choose to give all of her money away to my older sister and that I choose to pick up the slack for her anyway.
The end of that shit.
’bout time. About that checkbook note you left the other day. Read this article on “the multiplier.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ann-pettifor/the-fiscal-stimulus-will_b_167119.html?page=6&show_comment_id=20914421#comment_20914421 When you look at the chart, you will notice a surge in unemployment in 1937. Well. that came about as a result of FDR’s abandoning his spending (stimulus) programs of the New Deal at the insistence of republican politicians. This has, can ans will work. It may take a lot more money that $789 billion, but it took us a while to dig this hole. Keep in mind this spending is very different from that of Bush. Most of his spending went to wars and large segments of that income is tax exempt. i.e. Military pay and all those no-bid contracts to Halliburton etal. Be well, my friend and take care of Mom. You will be rewarded.

I added you as well. I have a few more entries that are faves only. Mostly family type stuff. So feel free to peruse and comment as you please. Most of my entries have gone by the way of private these days. I’ll open up if there’s anything specific you’d like to know/learn that I may have written here. Thanks for the notes on my photos. Most appreciated. And let’s start w/ who is your favorite fave: mine is +Ditto. Probably my best friend on here. (The opening salvo has been fired – LOL)

Oh and a wonderful return shot. I know of this “Greywolf” fave from another diary. LOL Anyway, I’m usually pretty good at deciphering names, locations and such. So yes, Schenectady I do understand. It’s all good. 😉 Schenectady is upstate NY. I am from Long Island out in the beautiful “Hamptons”. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. But I am by no means a rich snobby so and so. I only help to service them. It is a pleasure to meet you as well. My name is Arthur.

Is she going to pay you back at some point? It’s one thing to help your sister out but for years? I would force her to sign a contact with you saying something like she will never ever ask you for help again….
