The question on the table from our local news station was...

What do you think about the discontinuation of the monies for people out of work not being extended? That was the news casters question put out there on Facebook.
And of course I put my two cents in saying in a normal economy I would say people should not have the extension, but since so many families are hurting it should be continued.
We must all have compassion and understanding in these hard times, and if we can help the rest of the world why can’t we help our own?
Saying that… if not for the grace of G-d goes I, and that family could be mine and that could be me.
That’s exactly what compassion is putting yourself in the other persons place.
One man actually suggested that people were being lazy and that there were plenty of jobs out there for the ones who want to work.
Perhaps, there are but most get a percentage of they’re previous salary that may be more than a new job could pay, and these people have children to feed, rent or mortgages to pay, utility bills ect., just like this man who was so quick to judge!
Sadly, people who have never been there don’t understand and don’t seem to want to.

On a brighter note: today after a short swim in the pool we went out to the stores to prepare for our get together tomorrow evening by going to the warehouse store to purchase larger than normal quantities at good prices of meat. We had fun and then went to our normal grocery for smaller amounts for items that we did not need in large quantities, got that?
Before we left I had a nasty spill I in my bathroom.
I have that squirt shampoo, conditioner and liquid bath soap dispenser that Hubby bought me when I dropped a large economy sized shampoo on my foot and I think broke a small bone in it, well that’s when we decided that this would be a better option and safer.

This just in: the first tropical depression has just formed as TD 1, six P.M.!

Well, any-who the whole thing slips out to refill, and so it was very low and I did take it out after I was dressed from my shower.
But when I went to put it back I lost my balance, what a surprise!
And knocked it to the floor of the tub with my shower chair as well and my bathing suit too as I fell on both of my knees hard on the tile floor and got my side hit hard on the sliding glass doors which fortunately did not break!
As if I needed this, and now, Hubby heard me and came in and made me get into the bed to rest while he tended to my small disaster of dumping half of what I filled into the tub onto my new bathing suit!
Fortunately, believe it or not I didn’t break the dispenser or the chair or my bathing suit. I eventually put the suit into the washing machine on cold/ cold since trying to get all those soaps out in the sink was futile.
Far as my body goes I did take some aspirin and it looks like I may have quite a few bruises of black and blue, but it doesn’t appear at this time that I broke anything!
Amazing, yea it seems that way to me too! We will see what tomorrow will bring…

I did get a scolding from Hubby though and him repeating that I should have had him do it by telling him what I was doing.
Falling is a big problem with MS mostly because of the balance issue too.

These last two nights I have not been too funny, but I will see what I will have for tomorrow. Hopefully with our barbecue with good company I will have somewhat of a lighthearted look at the evening!

I will wish you all a very good night tonight and ask you politely to count those blessings that at times are difficult to find and we will do our best to find ours too!

Which way will the war go?
