About Me

My photo
Jacksonville, Illinois, United States
My husband and I have been married for 51 years. We are both retired. He loves to garden and read. I like to do those things too but still need to do something interesting and keep my brain active. I have been selling online since 2002. I really like selling over the internet and reading and writing on the blogs as you can talk to many nice people. I also sell in order to supplement our income as day-to-day living expenses. I have a grown daughter who owns a painting business, Painters Extraordinaire II, in Chicago, IL. I also have two dogs(Lady and Corky) and a cat named Bonnie.

I don't know about you..

but I am getting really tired of worrying about whether or not this country is going to default or not. I wish our representatives in Washington, DC would get their act together. I don't know how many other retired persons there are who will read this but personally I'm getting a wee bit worried about my husband and I getting our retirement checks. Except for a small retirement pension that my husband gets from his work we live on SS and what I make online selling. Not a happy prospect to think about no SS checks.

It's my personal opinion that getting SS is not a privilege but something deserved as my husband and I paid into the system for 30+ years. I think the truth of matter is that they used so much of the money on stupid projects and never paid it back.

No matter why things are so screwed up they need to get it fixed at least temporarily and then take their time fixing it for good. We don't send them to congress to get their own agenda done but to help people who need it. They had better learn these lessons soon or they just might be kicked out and replaced next election. At least I hope that would happen but with the way people are anymore they will just get elected again.

Anyway I would appreciate it if you would check out my stores and buy what you can.

Hope you are all staying cool and not getting too much sun. I know I've been inside in AC most of the time. Getting too old for this heat.
