OT - Letter to the US President
"CatNipped" wrote in message ... "Dear Mr. President , I heard you say you will not guarantee SS checks if the debt ceiling isn't raised. Why is it the scare always has to do with SS, Medicare, & our Soldiers pay? Why not stop your own pay or all of Congress to save much more money for our country? Why use the Seniors, Soldiers, & our Needy as examples? Take the money from those who take no risks and reap the benefits? Repost if you agree!" -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped No thanks, hon. I try very hard not to get embroiled in political posts. My father always told me never to discuss politics or religion because you'll just wind up in an argument. So I abstain. Jill |

Jill I've found it is much easier to have a calm, reasonable discussion about religion than it is about politics. People seem much more likely to become angry about politics. Actually, though, one of the loudest and most vehement arguments I ever witnessed was over which was better - Mac or PC. I kid you not. Joy |

Jill I agree, and I'm sorry I posted this here and elsewhere - it got my @$$ flamed to kingdom come in another group and I ended up having to unsubscribe from it. It just hit close to home for me and it was a spur-of-the moment posting without thought. There is another post over there that got not one flame but it's addressed to AARP members to write their congress=critters about voting against the new bill that would drastically reduce Medicare benefits for seniors. Go figure, I guess it's all in the wording. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

Joyce That was exactly my reaction. I thought (but decided not to say), "I have my religion. You're welcome to yours. Just don't try to get me to change my mind." Actually, that's the way I feel about religion, as well as computers. Joy |

I try not to get into discussions about technology (even though I worked in IT). Ditto cell phones. Frankly, I don't care what someone's cell phone provider promised them. Sorry, I can't help you. I only use mine in emergencies. 'nuff said. OB Cats: The weather has been very nice. Persia and I have been sitting outside. She's in her kitty walk while I read a book. It's nice Jill |

It's nice Jill I'm with you about cell phones. Or, at least I used to be. I have a very inexpensive one on AT&T's "Go Phone" plan. With that plan, I pay either $15 a month or $100 a year. If I make a call, I am charged $1 for that day, plus 10 cents a minute. That is deducted from what I have paid in. Since I used the phone maybe two or three times a year, I didn't have to worry about paying any more in. However, you do have to add to your account when the period you paid for is up. I pay for the year. I had renewed for the third year when I lost my phone. When I reported it, I was told that only one call had been made on it, and my balance was $290! I thought the $100 a year disappeared at the end of the year, but instead it accumulates. Since I learned that, I've been using my cell phone to make any long distance calls, such as calling my sister in Alaska. My balance is still quite high. Joy |
