Sometimes talking to someone about...

The reason why you are locked out of acquiring more coupons for an item is just a matter of picking up the telephone and asking, and so I did.
Amazingly, I kept trying to get a few dollars off for an antacid tablet I take twice a day that helps me with all my medications that irritate my stomach and it is more expensive than my prescriptions that are discounted through our county, at 65%, a nice one. The only thing you need to qualify is that you do not have any insurance.
And so I checked online for their customer service toll free number and sure enough they were very happy to send me a six dollar off coupon within the week, better than the three dollar one online, and to also put me on their mailing list to receive more coupons every few months, but at a dollar a shot. Every little bit helps, huh?
I was not ever one much for coupons but with all that is going on and my telling everyone how we should all manage better it was sort of my last frontier in that arena.
Early on I would clip them out and then forget to use them or file them in my handy dandy Rubbermaid filing box and then forget again and found myself tossing them since they would then be out dated.
Mind you this is when I was young and extremely busy with work and family!
Now I have all the time in the world…and so I do try to look at the grocery circulars and save that way and also surf the net for particular items that I need that are usually online with coupons.
Groupon, I think is a wonderful idea, but for some reason I couldn’t get into it.
Simplicity is best when you need something search the net prior to the outing and find out that way and print and clip, for me it works, when I remember… that is!
Many groceries are doing it also online… get your mind out of the gutter!
No, posting their specials online too with in-store coupons as well, all you have to do is check before your weekly shopping spree.
Ah this techno marvel is super duper, although I do know that many higher tech phones have all these apps too!
I say whatever works for you, just do it.
Remember we all will have to be cutting back even more than we have been which sounds really harsh.
Since most of us have learned how to cut back quite significantly over these last several hard time years.

Have you contacted your congressmen and women to let them know how you feel?
I did a while back and so far I wonder why they haven’t seemed to have gotten my message, huh?

Well, I can hear you all laughing, but THIS IS NOT FUNNY!
Listen folks if it is done en masse then for sure they would have no choice than to listen!
We are getting down to the wire and I do know that many are not worried, but sadly I believe that is people who do not like our president or are very wealthy and prefer the status quo.

Any-who, I, as a commoner feel that need to be heard and I am never shy when it comes to what I think is unfair and SPEAKING MY MIND, ha!

Right now they are spreading boloney about how our unemployment rate is going down and that jobs are bountiful here in the Sunshine State of Florida, not to put a damper on this propaganda but I checked and although it appears that construction jobs are slowly rebounding, thankfully, the jobs available were not in that field and besides the article only mentioned a little over 20K openings, but I beg to differ if I recall our state lost 750K or so I thought so, but I could be wrong I have been wrong before, nothing new there…
And the worst of it was that it was recommending that these jobs were for out of stators to come here and take them from our locals?
WHAT?
Isn’t our state’s unemployment rate sky high; with one county as high as just over 16%?
Most of the other counties here are still in the double digits and we have 67 of them and so I mark this article as …WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING?

On this night of another baffling time in our lives I would like to be the first allowed to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count your blessings and share your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?


PS here’s a picture that we bought months ago at the Cultural Center’s, Trash or Treasure shop for twenty bucks and I was hoping that someone might know where it is supposed to be and who the artist is, it was taken apart for me to clean it and there wasn’t a signature I do believe it is GiclĂ©e and it’s outer dimensions with frame included are 21”X 24”.


PSS plus it is quite even the picture is askew only due to trying to keep the glass from having that nasty glare that distorts it from the cameras eye. My guess was South Beach in Miami, since I seem to have a collection of artwork forming since 2004 of places in Florida that we have been to.
