I know they can all swim (well I hear sometimes they can't) but I meant more the taking the toys out of the pool and putting them away.. I've never seen a dog clean out a pool...

Yes, he's way spoiled...

Oh now he's smelling the tree.. I was pretending it was attacking me and he got all bent out of shape but was biting on me.. Hopefully I won't come home to my tree being shredded tomorrow... LOL...

Ok, g'night

and you have no one to blame but yourself. Goodnight.....

Morning people.

good morning!

I'd given up figuring there were no "morning people"

ACTUAL PASSPORT APPLICATION LETTER SENT BACK TO STATE DEPARTMENT

Dear Mrs. Ms. or Sir:

I'm in the process of renewing my passport and still cannot believe this.

How is it that Radio Shack has my name, address and telephone number and knows that I bought a cable TV from them in 1987 (23 years ago), and yet, the Federal Government is still asking
me where I was born and on what date.
For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand? Ever heard of computers?

My birth date you have in my social security file. It's on EVERY income tax form I've filed for the past 40 years. It's on my Medicare health insurance card and my driver's license,
it's on the last eight damn passports I've had, It's on every stupid customs declaration form I've had to fill out before being allowed off the plane for the last 30 years.
And it's on all those census forms that we have to do at election times.

Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'm reasonably confident that neither name is likely to change
between now and when I die.

Between you an' me, I've had enough of this bureaucratic ********!
You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my #*&#%*& address.

What is going on? You must have a gang of bureaucratic Neanderthal morons working there!

Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? And "No," I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, for christ sakes. I just want to go and park my butt on a sandy beach.
And would someone please tell me, why would you give a damn whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days?

If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to tell anyone!
Well, I have to go now because I have to go to the other end of the city and get another #*@&#^@*@& copy of my birth certificate to the tune of $100.

Would it be so difficult to have all the services in the same area so I could get a new passport the same day? Nooooo, that would require planning and organization.
And it would be too logical for the @&^*^%@% government.

You'd rather have us running all over the place like chickens with our heads cut off. Then, we have to find some ******* to confirm that it's really me in the damn picture - you know,
the one where we're not allowed to smile.......Hey, you know why we can't smile?

We're totally pissed off!

Signed

An Irate Citizen.

P.S. Remember what I wrote about getting someone to confirm that the picture is me? Well, my family has been in the United States of America since 1776. I have served in the
military for something over 35 years and have had security clearances up the ying yang. However, I have to get someone important to verify who I am - you know, someone like my doctor........ WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN INDIA AND MAY NOT EVE BE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN !

And you ***** want to run our health care system?????

I've seen that one before, though it keeps getting longer ... hmmm probably be even funnier if it wasn't so damn accurate.

I agree

And the worst part is all that extra info cost US extra tax dollars to collect it.

wow, nice radio shack touch, so true. . .. i think blue sheild works for the govt, hahahaha, try getting them to pay a bill after saying they cant find you in their system, funny you keeping tapping into my paycheck every month. hmmmmm

I'd add to this but they might move us to the political section and Joy would really be pissed.

Yes I would be Davey


That is one funny and true letter though... I think there are some reasons for all the government offices not being in the same place but we don't need to go there, the rest is true enough... Of course my main complaint is the taxes without reasonable credits but we won't go there either..

dammit! i was just about to go off on health care!!!!!!

Yeah let's not go there.. At least the tax cuts were extended for another 2 yrs.. I was going to be quite screwed and no dinner beforehand...

don't get me started on that either, i didn't like being held hostage so that people that make a million or more a year can enjoy a tax break...

Well some of those people employ others so we have to look at that as well.. The economy needs employer friendly taxes.. Cali was going to get hit hard... I think we're safe now but it's not 100% yet...

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....omg please don't tell me you believe that shiiiit. we had eight years of these so called tax breaks under the previous administration, but look at where we ended up. right, exactly where we are now!

I think we're screwed no matter which one we have so it doesn't matter either way really...

trickle down only works if you are a urinal!
