1. I just took a look at my retirement funds online and it appears that I've lost about half of what I had a few weeks ago. Shit. Looks like I'll be bagging grocerys after I retire."Brooks was here"
2. My birthday is coming up in about seven days or so and I was so hoping to wake up to find a slightly used Ford Escape (with a bow) sitting in the driveway. Before the collapse of the world economy my credit rating was asshole. Now it must be: Don't even think about it fucking dickhead!
3. I played bingo with some friends the other night and I didn't win. I've never won playing bingo, but the fried snacks and the white trash make up for it every time. One time I watched a woman hit both jackpots and she was crying because she finally had some money to give to her son who was going away to college. As she was thanking God I was cursing him.
4. I could go on and on, but really things are good and I'm feeling fine. For the rest of the day these words will be playing in my head:
Heading out to Eden
Yea brother
Heading out to Eden
No more trouble in my body or my mind
Gonna live like a king on whatever I find
Eat all the fruit and throw away the rind
Yea brother, yea.
Note: Originally these words were sung by a space hippie named Adam (right) on an episode of Star Trek called The Way to Eden. Sadly, Adam met his demise after biting into a poisonous piece of fruit that kind of looked like a pear with some paint slapped on the side of it.

yeah, if your name is Adam, don't eat any fruit.
How old are you going to be, Corks?
God I love space hippies.
"HERBERT! HERBERT! HERBERT!"
Happy Birthday and enjoy the beer! :)

I don't know if I'm lucky or not for not having a retirement fund for the bottom to drop out of. But the bit of stocks I have are basically gone. I sighed and filed the papers, if I leave it alone it might come back. hahahahahhaa
We start the retirement fund with the new job, it's with the government, so maybe it will be okay.
We don't have a retirement fund. We are counting on our kids to save our asses.
Kayla says that I can live in her garage as long as I stay far away from the Mustang.
"Mr. Stevens visited nearly a dozen
banks in the Portland area that
morning. All told, he blew town
with better than 370 thousand
dollars of Warden Norton's money.
Severance pay for nineteen years."
Just a Thought......
Happy early birthday. And stay away from looking at your accounts. That's what I'm doing
Do space hippies smell as bad as the one's hanging out at the park?
I played bingo during the wee hours of the morning in Vegas once. The cocktail waitress kept bringing me beers as soon as I would finish the one I was drinking. I don't remember if I won anything, but she was very nice.
I just opened all my r.r.s.p. statements and felt the same way as you, damn there's gonna be alotta seniors bagging til they die.
Happy early Birthday!!!
And I missed this episode--I've got to start watching these reruns when they are on TV.
ouch
Back when (as if it was that long ago) gas was $4.00+ a gallon, you could buy a three year old SUV for $3k around here. Hoop and I thought about buying up a bunch and then selling them for a profit when the gas went back down... or giving them away as door prizes in the next PB contest. If only we hadn't waited.
