People always ask what you are thankful for at this time of year. I am very thankful this year! I'm thankful for my wife,whose courage,warmth,companionship and above all love has
gotten through an extremely tough time that threatens to keep coming! My daughter who is as
beautiful at 24 as she was when I first laid eyes on her, My older son whose warmth and love
is a constant source of support, and my youngest son whose depth and determination show love
in everything he does as well as being a constant source of encouragement! The people I just
mentioned mean more to me than anyone person in the universe! I wouldn't trade my life with anyone at all!! Material things mean nothing to me without my family. The trials and tribulations I've been through this month would have made me a suicide statistic if not for them! Things will get better! I know that now! I believe it because they believe it!! I want to thank all my Lj friends for their love and support especially those not on my friends list
that took the time to comfort and reassure me!! God Bless You all!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Current Mood: chipper

I am posting this to say that I have been uncerimoniously fired from my job! Now, in some respects being fired isn't the worst thing in the
world that can happen to a person. In my case, considering the state of employment and/or job availability, my age, ( nearly 50), and the
bills I have to pay, its disasterous! And the way I got canned is a lesson to be learned for all!! So read carefully and heed my words all,
because this is dangerous! Aside from Lj, I have a facebook account, and had a myspace account. I no longer have a myspace because,
one of my so-called friends from work has seen fit to let my bosses know that I have been posting about my job troubles and that I've
made remarks that were being perceived as threats! Granted I was wrong for what I said but, I was just venting! Basically because assault is against the law and I'm seriously not that kind of person! Never the less, I received a phone call yesterday morning saying that
I had threatened them and was hereby terminated from their employ. Nice huh? Nothing is sacred anymore! If you yell and scream at someone you get arrested! If you do it in public u get arrested! My point is if any of you have a myspace account or the like, put privacy filters on them! Because if you don't sure as shit some flag saluting asswipe, some fucking do-gooder, some cowardly butinski, will use
it against you!! Watch yourselves guys and gals!! Because big brother is always watching!! Starting over at my age is gonna be real rough.
But I have no choice! Later guys!

Current Mood: depressed

Racist and homophobic comments or even insults for that matter are just pure ignorance!!! So, I chalk it up to that!!

Its usually when I'm bored and mostly watching a DVD or VHS tape. Because we don't have cable anymore. And again,most times its with my lovely wife. Sometimes when I'm alone I'll eat in front of the T.V.

I'm not! I have no finances! Because I have bosses that refuse to give raises and a Government that could give 2 shits less! The only thing I have going for me is a pension from a company that'll probably try to screw me out of it! And social security, that is if the pwers that be can keep their greedy little paws off it!!!

I am finally feeling better!! I'm excited about leaving for Florida tomorow and looking forward to a great trip!! Thank God for Mom's generosity!!I may or may not have a chance to post from down there! So, Ill see you all when we get back!! As for Thor1957, thanks for remembering me buddy!! I look forward to chattin with ya again!!

By the way, for those of you who believe that taking diet pills is cheating, I have news for you! There are folks out there that have no other
choices in life. Basically because they aren't able to lose any other way! So before you all go judgemental on these nice folks take a minute to think about why they do what they do or what their reasons may be!

The reason this would be good is because some folks are physically unable to exercise and a pill that does that would help them live longer! As for me I believe I'm still young and healthy enough to exercise the regular way! So I'll say no. Not at this time. Its not a bad idea
though!

Its seems more and more I feel like I'm just a black hole. I'm not sure why anymore either! Common sense would dictate that my -
problems aren't all that bad and that I shouldn't be depressed about it. But I am. It just seems like nothing appeals anymore! I know that
things are gonna happen like, death and things of that nature. Thats a given. I'm going to Florida with my family and I just don't seem to be
all that stoked about it. Of course I'll enjoy seeing my Mom and sister! Thats always nice! But, I don't know! Nothing good seems to negate
the bad, poor, disappointing or unhappy things in my life. Like I said, a black hole. I have love all around me but, that just isn't enough!
Life other then that sucks! It just does! Cause it just seems like we'll always be poor no matter how hard we work! Is this how life is -
supposed to be? One lousy struggle after another? Working your ass off for 40 years and getting nowhere? Can someone please explain to me why this is? Or am I relegated to this shit the rest of my existence? I wish someone had answers for me! I really do!! I've tried God,
I've tried praying, or saying screw it all! I've tried being patient, and waiting for the good things to come but, very little! it comes in dribs and drabs! No one seems to have any spin at all on this screwed up game we call life! If something doesn't give soon, insanity may just set in!! If anyone has any insight please, holler back! Otherwise, unkind, rude or sarcastic criticisms are not welcome!! Post again soon!!
Later peoples!! All my love,bulldog47
