TOXIC ASSETS

I am so sick of the press using the term "toxic assets" are they really toxic or are they undervalued (I am asking because I do not know and the press does not know either). For example is land really toxic .... no it is not it is undervalued. Is the automobile industry toxic, I do not think so they just need to figure a lot of crap out..........until America goes with out transportation (and I have not grown wings yet have you and my feet can only take me so far) I can not see the automobile industry going away, so really what are these toxic assets!!!!!

Just to let you know the Rockefeller's made the majority of their money in the Great depression buying up all kinds of "toxic assets."(refer to wikipedia) Especially land and buildings that were undervalued (ever hear of Rockefeller center)!!!

I wish the press would quit using these terms and realize that 10 years from now these "toxic assets" will be assets that everyone will wish they had purchased so cheap!!!!! Just to let you know things I would consider to be a toxic asset: asbestos (no one uses this anymore and if you had a warehouse full of it i really doubt anyone would buy it), opium (actually this would not be toxic you would just be an illegal drug dealer and probably make a lot of money), A cell phone from 1985 (these phones were big and expensive, I doubt if you put them on eBay for 5.99 anyone would buy them), and last but not least phen phen (remember that drug for weight loss in the early 90's it gave people heart attacks however I bet you could sell this crap to idiots that want to lose weight and do not care if they damage their heart). However, do you get what I am saying a toxic asset would be an asset that would never "move" or never be of use to our country again and I think loans, cars, land and all the other crap they are calling toxic are of value they are just having a bad day or a bad year!!!

WHAT

All I have to say is really, are you serious? I did not see this first hand however I did received some emails this morning regarding MIA's performance on the Grammy's last night (it shows you I am getting old I did not know who MIA was until now). So just take a look at the link I have attached all you need to see is the first 5 seconds and you will know what I am talking about.

DIAPERS

YUCK!!! Diapers I hate them I hate poop and p especially poop and p mixed together. I do not care how cute you are you will not make me like poop and pp.

So for the topic of diapers. I am going to try baby G. One reason I can go straight to the compost pile dump and bury or if I am lazy I can flush. No stinky diapers left in a diaper pail. I am also considering cloth diapers. Now these are not your mothers cloth diapers it is amazing what they are doing now with cloth diapers. However there is a lot more labor and water involved in cloth diapers.

So for all you ladies out there that are interested in cloth diapers I have attached a question and answer link for washing disposing and all kinds of crap for diapers....

MICHAEL MOORE

So Billy and I watched Sicko last night, not a bad flick. The first thing Billy said to me was Bernadette do not put this on your blog tomorrow. Well, I am not going to put anything about the movie on my blog I am just going to address socialized medicine.

On paper socialized medicine sounds awesome. Who would not want to walk into a bright, shinny clean clinic right down the street sit down fill in a little paper work get seen by the Dr. and leave and never ever see a bill. AHHH I WOULD I WOULD!!! However I feel that is a dream. A dream that would rely on honest politicians and Americans to implement a program where everything is run efficiently. I have not seen anything implemented by the government run efficiently(look at what is going on with TARP right now everyone wants a piece of the pie what happened to the green movement isn't that a "waste not want not" philosophy....hmmm maybe they only understand when it comes to getting elected) and I would not trust them with my health care.

I want my Dr. to strive for something better to always be looking for the best treatment and not having to follow the guidelines the government sets for him or her I want my Dr. to follow his or her guidelines (that is why I do my research on Dr's. I am the crazy annoying lady that will ask you 5 bazillion questions to make sure you are the Dr. for me).

So socialized medicine is it a good theory? Yes it is however, in my opinion it is only as good as the people running it. So I ask you who would you like to run socialized medicine for the United States of America ???? I pick Blagojevich (ha just kidding).

LIME GREEN AND ORANGE

So do you think my baby will go blind with these bright ass colors? Actually the picture makes it look more "lime green" than it really is because you can not see the white pieces that go with it. Once I get some art work on the walls it will be complete and my light fixture (my light fixture is a drum shade from 1963).

By the way Billy (and Scott) surprised me today by hanging the curtains. I just want you two to know I will take labor over any gift out there. Yes, I would choose someone to clean my house and yard over flowers, jewelry (well depending on the jewelry I do not want to be to Hasty), and yes I will say it CLOTHES, BAGS, AND SHOES!!!!

So Thank You Scott and Billy you guys are awesome you made my day.

PAULY WALLEY

My brother Paul just turned 30 on the 1st of this month. I asked him how it felt to be old, I also asked him about his wrinkles and saggy skin.... He did not even understand what I was talking about (I do not think men obsess about getting old like women do ..... my thoughts and fairness on this subject can be discussed another time).

However my brother Paul lives in Chicago and is an architect (I may have mentioned this) he is now working for Rush Medical Center and works "off site." That means he works at the construction site I have shown you to your left. Last month it was snowy cold and wet and Paul stepped into a mud puddle and got mud inside his boot and up to his knee. Sorry Paul you should move to Alabama we do not have cold muddy puddles. Have fun the rest of the winter at the Construction site I will be thinking about you when it is 70 her in the month of February.

Oh yes did I mention my entire family went to Chicago last weekend to celebrate Paul's B-day.... everyone but me they even brought the dog.

YOUTH HAS PASSED ME BYE BYE!!!

So I am not 20 any more! I am not tight, I am not toned and I am not 135!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am completely and utterly aware of this. Not to mention I am being stretched to one end of the room to the other therefore, I will never be the same again!!! However I feel I am a master of disguises and I will be able to hide my old saggy parts and no one will be the wiser.

So Jennifer why oh why are you waring this dress. Bad, Bad your publicist should be in big trouble. You are still a pretty lady however you did just have twins and your tum tum may not be the same again. It is OK you can cover it up and still look beautiful. So next time keep the stripper dress at home and maybe go with a Calvin Klein or Donna Karen!!!

Yes it is 2:28 in the morning I am up with the acid reflux!!!! It is awesome!!!
