Friday was a special day.

Friday was a special day. Our Yorkshire Terrier was to arrive from New York. However, she was a no show. Turns out that the Manny A. Cruz using an address of 45 Broadway Suite 1401 New York, NY, puppyfind.com, AOL email account Yorkieb2k@aol.com, and phone number of (646) 294-2725 defraud us. It was a heartbreaking experience for Sandy. She had invested so much time and effort into finding just the right dog. We have filed a complaint with the IFCC, AOL, and puppyfind.com. Sandy will file a complaint with our local police, the New York city police, and the US Post Office on Monday. Our son will be in New York next week on business and will check out the address.

An internet search of the address Manny provided found it to be …
Katz Realty Group
45 Broadway
Suite 1401
New York, NY 10006
Tel. 212-269-1900
Fax 212-269-4515

I don’t hold out much hope for the recovery of our money… at this point I only want to bring this individual(s) to justice.

Enjoyed another Thanksgiving with the

Enjoyed another Thanksgiving with the family. As is our custom we stuffed ourselves with turkey and all the trimmings. Seems like whenever our family congregates, the resulting collection of food is sufficient to feed three times our number. Friday I roasted a 13 lb. turkey at our house… The only problem with a family Thanksgiving is no leftover turkey. Now we have enough till Tuesday. Then its turkey soup.

The little ghosts & goblins

The little ghosts & goblins are at the door again. It’s a joy to see the little one’s having such fun. Ninja turtles seem to be the boy’s favorite this year. Jayson is ninja this year and Christion is a Giraffe. Jayson was over a little earlier this evening helping his grandma make cupcakes for their party tonight. He brought his ninja transformer over to show me. Seems like it can transform from a baby turtle to a ninja turtle.

Thank God, only one more campaign day left this season. Will be so glad to get the election behind us. Caught a little of the news this evening to discover the poles have the election dead even. I fear our president may lose this election … it’s incomprehensible that this country could elect such an unprincipled man like Kerry. I have talked with a number of his supporters and find their only motivation is an irrational hate for Bush. None could explain why they hate him or an understanding of Kerry’s positions. I fear that it is going to take a most significant event to wake this country, just hope it is not to late.

Only 16 days till Election

Only 16 days till Election Day … in this election campaign we failed to address any real issues. Instead, this election is about hate. It’s about the Bush hates and the Liberal haters. Each side blames the worlds ills on the other … and takes credit for the good. Why can’t we just discuss the issues?

In a discussion with a very staunch Democrat, I asked, “Why would you vote for Kerry when he promised to raise taxes?” There initial response was “Well he wont be raising my taxes.” I then asked, “So you think it’s OK to raise taxes as long as they are not your taxes?” There reply was “He won’t really raise taxes.” I quickly responded, “So you would vote for a liar?” They responded “No!” I asked once again “Why would you vote for someone who promises to raise taxes?” There was no response … they walked away with an over the shoulder comment of “I hate Bush.”

I contend, that the more money our government collects from us the more control they can exercise over our lives. This control is a direct threat to our individual freedoms. I urge everyone to get out and vote against the Kerry tax plan.
