Wednesday - afternoon

I make no bones about the fact that I do not enjoy having to do all the work by myself at the park.  Today was trim everything along the driveway, pick up trash and do some weed eating along with have a tree company owner come over and quote me on felling the rotted tree along the driveway.  He said $400.  I knew it would be expensive even if they are only cutting it down and not even removing it.  I have no choice, it's that or get the man to move his trailer and give him a month's credit to do so? Might as well just have them come take the tree down.  

That stuff wore me out, I'm not in the greatest shape anymore tho I've been slowly building myself back up to doing the workouts I used to do.  I think I really need to add cardio stuff to that list.  

I was watching this fiasco in Washington earlier where GOP is blaming Dems for the government shutdown and saying it's a "clean CR bill" while Dems are saying it's partisan garbage and blah blah blah.  I'm am totally biased in my views, just saying that right here, but there is one thing that sticks out to me and I didn't have to have a TV anchor telling me this: Dems have stated endlessly in the past how evil and horrible a government shutdown is and should be avoided at all costs.

MOST of the people on the left that said that are STILL in power today and now taking a totally different stance? Please spare me the total bs. They would go on about how Medicare, SS payments, food stamps, and endless list of services would be shut down and how our seniors would suffer. I've heard this multiple occasions, btw, not just one incident, this has been going on forever now.  I'm sure the right outlets will be playing  clips of what I said above and how are they going to defend it?  

Is it true they want to continue funding health care for illegal aliens?  WHY?  Look, these people are here, I'm not heartless.  Feed them, clothe them and send them back to where they came from.  That's that.  I'm sorry your country is a hell hole, I TRULY am, but there are legal methods to become a US citizen and illegally crossing the border isn't one of them.  You are taking advantage of our generosity and good natured citizenry.  We understand that much of the world is a 3rd world dump.  

I know there are billions of people that have to forage for food every day and walk for miles to get clean water.  I feel for all of them, but we aren't God and we aren't the Provider. We can be used of God to help feed them and bring them relief AND the Gospel, btw, but in the end? The US can't take care of the entire world. ONLY God can do that.  

But the free health care stuff? I went for years at a younger age without health care coverage because  I COULDN'T AFFORD IT. It would cost me around $1,200 per month right now if I weren't working and getting it through my employer. It still costs me almost $500 per month - JUST FOR ME. IT ISN'T FREE FOR US, WHY SHOULD IT BE FREE FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T EVEN BELONG HERE?

Sorry, not sorry, healthcare is not a right even for US citizens but it sure as hell costs the working man/woman a large percentage of their paychecks to even have the coverage and peace of mind.  Its why I am not retiring at 62, coming up soon.  I'm either waiting til' I'm 65 - Lord willing I even live that long - or the business grows to the point I can afford good healthcare on my own without any other input - Lord will the business actually grows to that size.  

I firmly believe in feeding the hungry.  Giving them water. Trying to arrange for shelter if possible.  Finding ways to get them in to a better situation - but they have to have the motivation and drive to want to change their lives.  Jesus said, however, that the poor will always be with us and we have specific instructions on how to treat the poor.  We should help them.  Any of them, regardless of race, religion, gender or even what nation they came from.  But, I have not problem with the government putting them on airplanes and sending them back to wherever they came from.

I'll get off the high horse now.  I'm going to have to have the sprinklers for the septic system moved.  Where they placed them is not going to work.  They said as such and gave reason why they placed them where they did and I'm not going to go into that here.  There is no legitimate reason, however, that I cant have them placed another 20 feet towards the west and in one case, about 100 feet.

Many, many hours later lol.  I got stuff done at the park, got stuff done at home, talked to some people about moving in - but - I never heard back from them.  So, I just blow people off when they do that.  Like, they were sending money today and moving in today.  Yeah, that didn't happen.  Don't really care,, it happens a lot but if they call again? I'm going to be a bit blunt with them. Are you moving in or not? I don't have time for games....but I always wait to hear the "story".  I never know what to believe.  

Time for bed, 4:00 am wake up call.  G'nite.
