March #1,,,,

Well here we are halfway through march and I am on the first post. I had to recover, we again went up north and spent over 500 dollars. Crap oh mighty man, when does it ever end???? Anyhow, spring is here, at least until easter, and the weather is nice. Hoping to get started on all my outside projects soon. Would like to plant some cripps pink apple trees, if anyone knows exactly where or if I can find them let me know. I might even post some pictures, but I let my beautifully hot wife do that stuff. I just mainly get on here to rant and complain. Speaking of, last weekend was spent painting. I hate painting, and I still have more paitning to come. I kept asking Allison whos idea it was to wait until winter was over to start painting projects...??? Don't look now, papa Obama is leading to the light!!! hold your breathe. I gained 300 in my 401k in a week. Too bad it will all disappear in a freaking day.....

How much was that....? Feb.#2

So, if you haven't ever been to the ER and had an HSA insurance, you probably have never been subject to the shock. I took Trandon over to the ER Friday, we got there a little after 6:00 pm. He hadn't stopped screaming that his ear hurt since he got home from school, all the clinics didn't have appointments so to the ER we went. So after 3 freaking hours, we were taken back, then after a half hour the doc came in, sure enough about to burst, bad ear infection. So out we went, went over to pay, said just pay right now, they were kind enough after a 4 hour wait to give me a 20% discount and the bill came too.....178.00!!! the kicker, that wasn't even the doctors charges. So I paid almost 60/hr to hold up the freaking wall in the emergency room. Hey Obama, fix that you freaking socialist nut job. The wait was bad enough for paying customers, how about when everyone and their dog is getting governemtn hand out healthcare, what kind of wait do you think we will have then!!!???!!! Anyway, so yeh, I was miffed. then we went up and got our taxes done, I should have had my co workers just help me with them, eneded up paying 150.00 to get them done...OUCH... then it seems like everytime we go up north we can't get out of Sams/Maceys without spending a total of 500$. I just about flipped. Allison said that is why she leaves me home with the kids and what do I expect to go shopping once a month with a family of 6. How much was that again??? No freaking wonder I can't get a head to save my life.......

Feb. #1

For the doubters.....
Here I am again, as promised. Please forgive as I did miss Jan. #2. However can I make it up to the legions of followers...maybe a month with triple the fun??? Anyhow, just crusing right along into the 2009. I don't know why but randomly looked up my chinese zodiac sign...I am a tiger. Here are the traits, see if they are correct:Unpredictable, rebellious, colorful, powerful, passionate, daring, impulsive, vigorous, stimulating, sincere, affectionate, humanitarian, generous. Can be restless, reckless, impatient, quick-tempered, obstinate, selfish. Seems to me that the Chinese are pretty smart people as most of those hit it right on the nose. And I know all this inforation is correct because I found it on Wikipedia and ask Jessica Alba, that is the source of all great knowledge...;) When will the government just wake up and stop giving billions of dollars to corrupt businesses that will just be back for more in 6 months, and give each tax paying, natural born citizen, of this great United States 100 G's each? Seriously come on, how much are WE going to have to bail out the government for all the bail outs? Our poor children and grandchildren. Again, I must bring your attention to the blog about my mission buddy's little boy, Charlie. there is a link on this page, go have a read of the rath or charlie, seriously Rob kills me. If I were to only be so eloquently spoken, ah, to aspire to such high things. Well, projects for 2009 have been determined and will pretty much wipe out any fundage that comes my way, and they are: driveway, grass, trees, playset for kids, new lawn mower. I guess after that I can just fish and camp all summer. Sounds good to me...until #2

2009....I will do better...

I promise that I will do better to post at lease twice a month, I may even include pictures...we shall see, but for all who have given up on me...come back, come back...

Hold our breath and hope for the best....and other..

Well a new leaf has turned. The US has a new Pres. and now all we can do is hold on and hope for the best. I did not vote for Obama, but now that he has one there is only one thing to do is wait it out and see how he does. Do I hope he fails miserably and runs the country into the ground...hell no. I hope the guy proves all the people wrong that are doubting him. Really the only thing that bugs me is that, if the guy is legit, why doesn't he just produce his bc and get it over with. I mean really come on...what is he hiding? Anyway, if I could ask him one thing, that would be it, why, why don't you be upfront and show your birth certificate.
Why all the hate towards the LDS church and mormons from all the gay activists? I mean you can look at one fact and realize...um maybe Californians really believe that marriage is between a woman and man. Taken from 2007 numbers, mormons make up less than 3% of the california population.....hum.....wow....that is amazing. The whole state of California voted yes to Prp 8 (good job CA) and yet the lds church is being blamed for the whole thing? Whatever. I don't get it...anyhow, things are changing always in the world and will continue to do so and won't ever stop...all we can do is be the best we can be and the rest of it is out of our hands....

Gazelle intense....well maybe

I hate debt. Credit card companies are right there in contention of being the devil with Barak Hussein "The Messiah" Obama. The only good thing about Obama and his freaking socialist buddies is that maybe they will forgive all my debt, but then I will have to turn all of my earnings into the "pool" and await my feedings from the government. I hate BO but I also hate CC comapnies. They make life so damn easy until the payment starts. Then they start you off with like 30 dollars and then increase it to 175 one day. I hate them. Dave Ramsey, he is a good listen. He offended me for a minute but I got over it and really think that his plan, which is nothing I didn't hear in my personal finance class at Snow College from Doug Dyreng, to get out of debt and build wealth will work. But damn that man in the mirror is a tough guy to conqueor. I am hell bent on becoming debt free, but not willing to give up stuff like cell phones, satellite TV and 42" LCD TVs (hey my 36 in tv went south and RC freaking Willey was gonna charge me to get it looked at even though I purchased their extended service plan so I cut my losses on that thing and upgraded, so sue me.) Dave would beat me to death, but since I have a snowballs chance in hell of getting beat my Dave Ramsey, I did it. But I still hear his voice in my head everytime I think about buying something. Maybe one of these times he will talk loud enough and I will actually listen. But we are implementing a budget that he suggests and then gonna do the cash only thing so life is gonna change but we need to get our finances in order, that is unless Obama wants to take all my CC debt too along with every other freedom the Constitution entitles me too...go ahead BO, take it and run you freaking socialist.
