I'm so sick of "The market"

Hey gays,

No, I'm not talking about the supermarket, you know I need my food....

I'm talking about the endless nauseating talk about the stock market , the housing market, the rich people getting more bonuses.....I'm just sick and tired of hearing how we've all been raped by the system when no one is willing to even do anything about it or at least be accountable for it. The final straw was when I watched a piece on 60 minutes about the markets and what stood out to me is how no one will admit to be lying cheats out to make a buck or how people took out mortgages where the monthly payment was higher than what they make in a month saying I was taken advantage of....yikes.

The reality is people of my generation and below are being punished by the excess of the baby boomers, yes , our parents. We are being left with less than what they had because of greed. My parents aren't to blame, they have no money but the ones that do that are ages 60 and above right now that made millions upon millions of dollars and ran off with it leaving the average worker starving, the Enron's, the bear Stearn's, the aig, look at the men running those company's , old white guys.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.......I'm going mad...

Discovery in Florida

Hey gays,

We took a short vacation to Florida and stayed at my sisters home
which is in an over 55 community called "The Villages". We have made fun of the place and all of the oldsters but the place is like a resort with golf courses, tennis courts, pools and a happy our in town square, 2.75 drinks..oh yeah!!

The weird thing this time is that we noticed that there seemed to be more gays there this time, usually older couples or a couple may/December romances...LOL. My hubby did some research and they actually have a GLBT group there call Rainbow Family. I was shocked because it seemed like such a conservative place. Could it be that we weren't the only gays in the village....I guess so!! Who knew!

Check it out gays..

I'm a Taurus for sure

Hey Gays,

I was born on May 20th which falls on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini. I found this description of Taurus that really describes me almost to a T. I'm a loyal person and let things slide off my back. I'm also time orientated and tend to ease into change but not so much welcome it....

I don not think I have much Gemini traits because they are talkers, though I kind of Long to be that way so maybe Gemini pulls me or gives me the courage to perform and get in front of an audience...

It is interesting stuff though and interesting to give these things a thought and realize who you are as a person..

Feeling a little Green

Hey gays,

Well of course you are! March is upon us and I'm feeling Green, anxiously awaiting spring to start..It can't get here fast enough.

I'm Irish and St. Patrick's was always a big time in our house. Even before my parents had their Irish pub and restaurant we always had a party. St. Patrick's day is also my mothers birthday so a Keg of Green beer always was tapped at our house. The Shea's was the place to be....Corned Beef and cabbage for everyone...

When they opened the restaurant it turned into more of a nightmare. It was the busiest day of the year until it closed. If you went to visit you usually were put to work in some way, kind of taking the fun of it out of the mix. Though I have to say in a way I miss it a bit because I know how much my mother enjoyed it. They would always have a huge cake and sing happy birthday at the end of the evening and a dance with her kids or father. Everyone would be sloppy drunk by the end and singing or something......

That's the luck of the Irish after all....

Someone to Admire

Hey gays,

I have to tell you after watching some of the Oscars and seeing Red Carpet photo's, etc. I was pleased to see a few older women that are letting themselves age gracefully and not with much plastic surgery. I don't think Meryl Streep has had much work done if any and Sophia Loren looks fabulous though I think she's no stranger to the knife. The actress Melissa Leo nominated for Frozen river is also someone to note.

The stand out here though is Angelica Houston. One time i did drag and wore a long black bob and all I got all night was you look just like Angelica Houston, not that I took it as a insult, I never wore that wig again.

She is actually a gorgeous woman, more sophisticated than most, she is not a classic beauty but more of a unique one. I just like the fact that she is who she is and doesn't really change. I don't think she has had a lot of work done and it shows in these pics but she still has a great body and look.

Oh, someone to admire, I think. Maybe I'll pick up another black bob!!
