You Tube Ads

  I grew up with commercial t. v. so I am used to the interruptions. And I understand we have to have ads if we don't want to pay actual money for what we view. But You Tube is about to drive me crazy.
(Yes, I know. It's a short trip.) My problem with You Tube ads is that they come in the middle of a sentence, sometimes in the middle of a word. Does it have to be this way!? In this hi-tech world,
isn't there some kind of fix!? If there isn't, we might as well return to the dark ages.

BUY THAT CAR!!!

  I was reading a book where one character was upset that another character had bought a really expensive car. "Do you know how many families could be feed with that money?"
  I have heard this type of question for years. I have never heard anyone ask, "Do you know how many families are fed because I spent this money?"
  A car has to have a designer. It's not done for free. A prototype has to be built. Someone
gets paid for that. Materials have to be bought. Materials have to be delivered. None of this
is free.
  Then comes the assembling, shipping, and selling. The car, once purchased, has to be
maintained. After a time, the car becomes a used car and sold again. Eventually it ends in
a junkyard and it's parts sold. At each of these stages someone earns money and a family is
fed, clothed and sheltered. And, what do you know? The money is passed on. A never ending
circle.
  So, buy that car and know you helped feed a hungry family.

A Nice Little Song?

  I was sitting in Taco Bell one day when I heard a nifty song. I was liking
the beat when I heard the line, "I'm in love with your body." I felt like it was
objectifying someone and I was uncomfortable with that. But, I loved the beat.
Yesterday the ear worm came. I thought, I have to change that line. I came
up with, "I'm in love with your money." That seemed totally crass so I changed
 it to, "I'm in love with you, Honey" That is so much better. Feel free to used it.

What Should I Do?

  I was making a career decision. Do I become a character actor or a star? There are ups and downs with both choices. A character actor gets more jobs, but less money. A star can get 20 million dollars a picture. A star has to deal with the paparazzi. A character actor has more privacy, but doesn't get invited to the Jimmy Fallon Show. I just couldn't make up my mind. Then I looked in the mirror. Made a decision. Character actor. Easy choice.

Christmas

I don't know who started it, but many years ago businesses started putting up banners that said Merry Xmas instead of Merry Christmas. Many thought the businesses were trying to X out Christ. I have recently come to believe they were trying to save money. One letter is cheaper than six. In the Greek X is the symbol for Christ. So if you spell it out or use the X, Christ remains in Christmas. Merry Christmas!!!

Power

If I were a dictator and wanted to keep power, I would build hospitals and schools. I would give people money and free stuff. That way the people wouldn't want to rebel. That's how we do it in America.

Where Did It Go?

Sometime in the past few years, if my memory isn't faulty, we lost 7 billion dollars in cash in Iraq. How can that happen? I lost a quarter once and found it. A ton of cash. Misplaced. No one can answer the question, what happen to our money? I know in some countries if you want to get things done you have to grease the wheels, but if you bribe someone, write it down. Call it maintenance, if you want. At least we will know where the money went. Gee-wiz, how hard can it be?
