I thought menopause was here, maybe. No PMS, no cycle, gee I felt GREAT! Then I decided to risk it and give in to my natural urges with Eric for the first time since the TMI incident. Well, since my doctor appointment is Friday, I guess I needed to know what would happen anyway. It's baaaack. None of the usual swelling and pain elsewhere, just localized bad cramps to go with it. Oh, and grumpiness. Hooee am I grumpy. OK. If the doctor says it needs to come out, I'm going for it.

Yesterday I got so angry about a problem my Sims 2 game has been having with my graphics driver in my laptop that I wrote polite, strongly worded complaints to EA Games and ATI. I told ATI I was part of an online community that warned against their products and how my hubby was abandoning his laptop for a tower just because of their buggy drivers. It's true. I told them I was going to go down the same path unless they fixed it. I warned them they were going to go out of business if they don't turn things around.

I was eating my Nature Valley crunch Oats 'N Honey breakfast bars at the time. They recently went down in quality. My rat doesn't even like the new recipe much. I wrote a complaint to their manufacturer telling them they were about to lose a customer.

Then I heard on the news that the government has decreed credit card companies have to increase their minimum payments. I'm just in the right mood to become a conspiracy theorist.

The Rich Man's Guide To How To Screw The Common Citizen And Get All He/She Owns.



Step 1: ruin the economy so lots of the common people are out of work or making less than their lifestyle requires. Allow companies to send their jobs overseas. This will cause them to rely on credit cards more just to get by while they try to get their careers back on track.

Step 2: Allow financial institutions to delay deposits for 24 hours after customers deposit paychecks and unemployment checks.

Step 3: Allow merchants and financial institutions to immediately apply purchases to checking accounts.

Step 4: Make bankruptcy laws really tough for the average person.

Step 5: Tell credit card companies to double the minimum payment, thus creating more financial stress on consumers already having a very difficult time surviving.

Step 6: Repossess all assets from consumers and throw them out to live on the streets.



I'm tempted to send this to my representatives to see if that's what is going on... Maybe I should wait until my cycle is done. Yeah, that would probably be a good idea. I may not be completely rational right now.
An conversation in my voice-over class last Saturday bothered me enough to want to post this poll. I'll explain what happened after the results are in.
