  • 20100220-Banking Depositing

    So I just found out that at any ATM terminal, one could withdraw money. But an account holder cannot deposit at a bank without an account. How stupid is this banking system? If one could withdraw at any ATM terminal, one could deposit as well?

    If only Obama and pals could fix this MAJOR INCONVENIENCE that would be great. If only there is an elimination of checks, the ability to write checks, the ACH system, Check-21 and all sorts of delays to get credit into one’s banking account, that would be great, too.

    Now I’ll end up driving farther away just to deposit one stupid, regular check in person at a branch in which I hold one stupid account or mail same deposit item in a stupid envelop to some strange far off place that is not located locally!

    I wasted one friggin’ hour just trying to burn off some smelly fuel leakage while looking for the answer. And with one phone call to my customer service representative, I have to wait until next Monday to walk-in my deposit(s) and wait yet another three business days for the stupid check to clear the stupid banking system!

    Sheesh! Dammit! You guys are slowing down the process, especially during weekends and holidays! God, I hate you all! We are all better off transacting through a cash only system! I hate credit! And I hate credit cards, personal/business loans and mortgages! You people are killing me!

  • 20100220-Refusing Treatment

    For whatever reason, “Minh” has refused to seek medical attention and could have suffered severe heart attack. But she lived because she had two of four angioplasty for blocked arteries in her heart.

    From 11:00pm to 02:00am last night, she was having symptoms of pains in between her shoulder blade. So the husband took her in to be checked late last night. He ran red lights and managed to get to a local hospital in ten minutes.

    What if she had the chance to take medications and avoid such emergency situations? Who ultimately pays – the patient, the life insurance and/or the family members? Who is really responsible for making sure one’s life is taken cared of so as to not burden society and loved ones?

    Perhaps, Obama and pals could stick something in their health care insurance reform bill to `force` (for lack of a better word) people to get annual check ups and take their pills. Maybe then people won’t have to wait last minute to get help.

  • 20100220-Das Clouds

    Clouds everywhere. Light gray and bright. Blossoming flowers upon fruit trees. Cool breeze. Branches swaying. Birds flying. Still jobless, homeless, penniless. Still alive and hopeful. Ready to fight back and start over. Hallelujah. Dammit.

  • 20100219-Obesity Crisis

    Yes, First Lady Michelle Obama is working very hard to make sure the bloated bodies of today’s obese citizens are reduced to healthier and more manageable sizes.

    Yet in the back of my mind, I wonder how the naturally thicker folks living in, say, the state of Hawaii, feel about her encouraging words towards slimmer, model-like bodies.

    I see Michelle and her children are fat. I see Michelle has worn black clothing (in an attempt to hide her fatty body) during a recent interview with Larry King Live on CNN.

    Michelle speaks much better and more freely than her husband. Maw said she saw in Michelle’s face and how she must have a difficult time with Barack.

  • 20100219-Let’s Move

    I’m currently watching a YouTube.com video:

    Making Healthy Food Accessible & Affordable by whitehouse

    First Lady Michelle Obama travels to Philadelphia, PA to discuss federal funding for a new multi-year Healthy Food Financing Initiative which will increase the availability of affordable, healthy foods in underserved urban and rural communities, particularly through the development or equipping of grocery stores and other healthy food retailers. Learn more at http://www.letsmove.gov

    Yes, fat and lazy people should move their bloated bodies out from their beds and couches. They should stop sitting in front of the computer, too. Exercising and dieting should help make healthier people and more productive workers for the state.

    A lot of the bad food is manufactured by businesses. Go to your local supermarket. What do you see? I see lots of snacks and all sorts of food packaged in plastic containers. Even the drinks are colorful and probably full of sugar.

    Nutritious food are found in the produce section. There are lots of fruits and vegetables that the body needs more than food from the meat section, too.

    I wonder how children could get healthier if restaurants serve the food that smells and looks good, loaded with lots of salt, cheese, grease, etc. You name it: Fast food goes in fast and stays in the body better than cooking healthy food at home.

  • 20100219-Clouds Changed

    About an hour or so ago, the clouds of gray were covering the skies over head. Over the length of the distant westward hills of the Bay Area, there were fluffy, puffy clouds of white.

    Now after waking up, I see one chemtrail disappearing somewhat overhead but more westbound with a sylph nearby.

    The sunset is casting a golden hue of pink, orange and purple onto the horizon again.

    Somewhere more southbound are clusters of fluffy, puffy clouds of purplish blue and whale-shaped strips northbound.

    Barely seen are the light blue skies overhead, too.

    And the blossoming flowers of white puffs covers the branches of our fruit tree.

  • 20100219-Weathery Ways

    Like yesterday morning, this morning had some fog. Then some sunshine came out but only briefly. Now, it’s friggin freezing. The fluffy, puffy clouds are together is gray, light blue and light purples. This morning rained upon the land, wetting the piles of cut grass, branches and other material from other neighbors’ yard work over the past three days.

  • 20100218-Prayer Journal

    Here is a prayer shared by Senora Josie during that morning’s mass:

    Whispers from Heaven by Al Littleton and Brenda Smith

    When I left this world without you I know it made you blue.

    Your tears fell so freely, I watched: I know this is true.

    While you were weeping, Days after I passed away –

    While all was silent within me, I saw you kneel to pray.

    From this wonderful place called heaven Where all my pain is gone,

    I send a gentle breeze to whisper, “My loved ones, please go on”

    The peace that I have found here Goes far beyond compare

    No rain, no clouds, no suffering – Just LOVE from everywhere

    You need not be troubled Just stay close to GOD in prayer

    Someday, we’ll be reunited My love, HIS love surrounds you always,

    EVERYWHERE!

  • 20100218-Noticing Numbers

    After mass this morning, we went shopping at Seafood City (off McKee Rd. in San Jose, CA). The subtotal purchase amount was: $13.11. The cash tendered was $20.11. The two cans of Tomi Sardines (in Tomato Sauce with Chili) was at $0.33. A bag of bittermelon was 2.22 lb @ 2 lb/$1.00 and totaled $1.11!

    The American Conservative Union is being held on FEBRUARY 18-20, 2010 at the WASHINGTON MARRIOTT WARDMAN PARK HOTEL in Washington, D.C. The broadcast is through CSPAN. We viewed the first few hours of the conference of intellects. Hon. Mitt Romney spoke at length and he finished his speech at almost exactly 11:11am (Pacific Time).

    Why are there lots of references to double digits, such as eleven and thirty-three? Who are you? What are you? Hello!

  • 20100218-Closed Cards

    From 17:00pm to 18:00pm, I’ve closed four of six kitty cats! The other two were already closed by the masters. Two phone calls were automated. And the other three phone calls were speaking with service representatives.

    I still believe in paying off debt because technically it used to belong to someone, namely the banks. The heavy load of my karma is teaching me a valuable lesson: Don’t spend what you don’t have in cold hard cash!

    But because some people have no cash and need to survive, credit cards help in case of emergencies. It’s a sad reality but the truth.

    But because of current economic and financial hardships, there is always debt relief around the corner. It all depends on the mercy of the courts.

    Sheesh. When will we humans every learn?

  • 20100217-Noticing Numbers

    Out of sheer friggin’ boredom, I was browsing my old music files on my computer and wanted to find a YouTube.com video to match the sound. I found Robot Carnival OST: Heart & Hand (by boomadatigger). I see 333 views.

  • 20100217-Orangey Sunset

    After this morning’s lightly, misty fog, the sunshine and clear blue skies came out! It was nice enough for the three of us to pull out some nice ground covers of purple flowers and tall yellow ones.

    Now the sunset is showing golden hues of light purple in the middle, orange on the bottom and light misty gray on top from some clouds or sylphs and left over chemtrails.
