When was the last time you heard a president say "I SCREWED UP". Not in the past eight years that for sure.

Is he going to become the Michael Vic of the swimming world, losing millions in endorsements and contracts. I'm not sure. His sin was not as greaves as Vic's but sponsors can be fickle. Time will tell I guess.
Money makes strange bed fellows.

Lot's to do today. At 8:30 I have a gal coming in to take all my mini-blinds from the windows to be cleaned.
At 10:00 I go to physical therapy. I'm thinking I need to put it on hold until I talk to my Dr today.
12:20 go to Dr Dore to see what's going on with my feet. This started Sunday afternoon when I started to feel something like electric shocks in both of my feet, but mostly my left foot. I didn't sleep at all that night.
The next day (Monday) I called my Dr to see if I could get in but he was booked until Wednesday (today). He said to get some Tylenol to help control the pain. That helped a bit but I still had the shocks but not as sever.
Tuesday I decided to wear shorts cause my jeans rubbed the ankle area an irritated the skin. I also wore my slippers all day because my feet had swollen. Lastly I rubbed skin lotion on both my legs and that also helped.
So now it's Wednesday and I go see my Dr.

I started doing my TAXES last week using Turbo Tax. I haven't done my own taxes in over 10 years because of my small business. I've since retired and closed it down and so I'm going to save a little money and do my own Taxes and use the e-File option.
Wonder if I can still do my Blog in Federal prison.

CREDIT CARD CRUNCH 1 OF 5
CREDIT CARD CRUNCH
I saw this on PBS- NOW just before I went in for Hip Replacement. I'm breaking it up into 5 parts and putting them all right here in this post rather than over the next five days. With the economy in a downward spiral, more and more people are taking advantage of credit card offers to make ends meet, but are the credit card companies actually taking advantage of their customers? In the week in which federal regulators adopted sweeping new rules for the credit card industry, NOW meets families struggling to pay off their credit card debt. Such debt has become significantly larger thanks to questionable industry practices like doubling and tripling interest rates, increasing fees and penalties, and shrinking credit limits. We meet people like Andrew Spurlock and his wife Michelle, who are raising three children while watching the interest rates and fees on their credit cards skyrocket. Michelle was horrified when her interest rate jumped from seven percent to 30 percent from one day to the next, despite claiming she always paid her monthly minimum. Michelle and her husband are fighting off financial ruin as they struggle to pay off their debt. Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren, an expert on debt and the middle class, says credit card companies are deceiving customers in order to maximize profits. "You would think that if you upheld your end of the contract that the contract would be binding. But in the case of credit cards, you would be wrong," Warren, tells NOW. This week, NOW takes a hard look at the small print in credit card offers, and at Congressional legislation aimed at regulating the industry. Are you getting the credit you deserve? * *CREDIT CARD CRUNCH 2 OF 5
