Hi and welcome to my blog.
Are you like me? Do you have things that you just really like to get off your chest? Just pick a gripe that you have a nd talk about it. Hopefully someone else will read it and give you some of their thoughts on the subject. This is especially good for people who hold stuff in and would never, never just say what they think. So...Blog it

Hello out there
If I could get anyone to pay attention here I would like to get your opinion of something. We have individuals losing their homes and their jobs, we have banks and businesses folding, we have cities that can't afford to pay for needed services for citizens but yet...
We have CEO's making not hundreds of thousands but many million dollars a year in salary and benefits, we have cities paying out hundreds of thousands per year to retired employees, far more than the tax payer, who is paying these bills, will ever make. We have public funds wasted again and again on studies which are never followed up on, on contracts to people who should never have received them and are not capable of providing the service they contract for, on art and beautification which, while nice, is totally uncalled for in times like these, on printing and mailing to people who most likely will never read them and who could access them online if they are interested. Here in Broward county and other places throughout the country thousands of dollars have been spent on electronic voting machines which was later decided wasn't fool proof and then other machines have been purchased to replace them and still everyone is not happy. As if any system is ever fool proof.
WE have people running for and elected to offices for which they have no qualifications and here they are making decisions on million and billion dollar budgets.
Isn't it time for someone to stand up and stop. That person has to be you and me and as many citizens as it might take to do the job.
What's your take on this???Donna

2nd time around
I set this blog in motion just about a year ago, then failed to give it a shove to get it rolling. Here goes again. A Blog...seems to be something that part of the world has made part of daily life and then there is the rest who are still saying "what is a blog".
I like to think I am a party of the first part but if so I am just hanging on the tail end of it and flapping in the breeze.
I think I will dedicate next week to "learning the blog". Each time I think I'll just skim through a little research on a particular subject I get there and go "oh my gosh" too much, too much. I read the first few pages, usually without understanding a lot of it and then, just click, click, click. I tell myself I'll come back to this later but then, as so often happens on a computer I just wander off and get lost.
If you read this and have thoughts on the subject please take a few minutes and write it down. I look forward to hearing your thoughts...Donna
