Here I am it’s early this Tuesday it’s been so hot that the air conditioner has fogged the double pain windows on the inside of the house… At first I thought it was foggy outside… LOL The windows have cleared and all the hay has been cut so it’s just green fields across the landscape. If one listens carefully the quiet sound of the spinning windmills can be heard along with an occasional howl from the wolves. It’s always so pleasant here it’s here on the farm – it’s hard to be self employed, I have to use great self discipline and self motivation to get moving and get work done so I can do what all Americans do… Pay Bills! I have been self employed since 1982 and yes, I chose a hard life.
I laugh and tell people when they ask why I’m self employed and I say “It’s because I couldn’t handle a regular job.” Most think it’s an easy life but it really isn’t. Sure you can do whatever you want to but in the end you will pay for it one way or the other. I guess what got me to this thought was the award given to me by Bud in my last post, the word versatile. This is one of the key points to being successful in anything we do being self employed and staying ahead of the game. The ability to change gears and and then stay focused on what the task at hand is and then change back again without missing a beat. Versatile is having more than one source of income in order to make it through the tough times… Not that our economy is having a tough time!
It’s time as Americans we demand that our government stop this madness of spending our way out if trouble – it just isn’t going to work. Let me do that with my corporation and I will be blogging from jail! Why we have to police the world and keep spending money on everyone else but our own people is beyond me. I look at the TV and it used to be Feed the Children and it would be kids across the globe hungry – you know you have seen them. The other day it was Feed the Children – Americans feeding Americans. How many families would fifty bucks make a difference right now… A lot -yeah that’s the same thought I had! So why do we just sit back and let this happen.
Is it that we feel oppressed by the media that we can do nothing but accept this. Have we given up on writing our representatives and congressmen? We did employ them so maybe some direction wouldn’t hurt. I wouldn’t hire a carpenter and just say build me a house and not give him a plan. I don’t have all the answers but I can say if our great country was run as a business and not the way it has been we would still be excuse me… Kicking Ass and taking names. I have an app on my phone for the national debt and if every man, woman, and child were to write a check for $43,543.63 we could bring our Nations check book to a zero balance. That is just too much and for what agenda is all this debt for may I ask? It is hard to believe our economy has arrived to this point and so many are suffering.
Oh heavens, I have gone off on a rant I don’t do this often so thanks for reading I hope I didn’t bore you 🙂
Have a great Tuesday

I agree with you completely! We need to clean up our own backyard first then with whatever is left we can help the rest of the world. It is time we take care of our own people and we do need a lot of help! Don’t even get me started!

I think you work harder than anyone who is employed by other people. Kudos for all the work you do and the wonderful things you have accomplished!
Hi AngelBaby… I am glad you understand… I didn’t start out to get on the soap box!

Thought provoking post, Wolf. Reading it I was thinking that..ooh, a couple of decades ago, someone said that if every man, woman and child paid ONE dollar we’d be sitting pretty. Look at us now! But, more than that, I have waited a long time to hear or see some support fo the feelings I’ve often expressed…lol. We HIRED them..surely we can FIRE them. Just don’t sit there and say ‘we can’t do anything…they are in charge’. They are only in charge because we put them there so..if that turns out to be a mistake, do as any boss would. Send them packing. Good for you, Wolf! Clicks!
I think many of us have reached the point where we believe, perhaps correctly, that one politician is the same as another. As the Who said in Won’t Be Fooled Again, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” I think too many citizens WANT the slick answer that says Uncle Sam can fix it all. He can’t, of course … he’s got to ge tout of the way and let us do it.
Very curmudgeonly post, by the way. Clicks
