Talk about luck, I have the best of it all. I never have gotten my $300.00 stimulus check for last year yet, I owed some money on my taxes, but they said when I and my tax person have called, the checks go to one dept and the paperwork goes to another, anyway, the paper work is lost. I talked to someone inGA the other day from IRS, and I had to send copies of all my forms again. I think I am going to need it for the utility bills this month., out of site, was so cold here, even we only had snow in the mtns. they cashed my check, but my stimulus check, did not get on the lest. Guess it was Murphys law.. Maybe someday.

Jinnye.. its good to hear from you.? Whats been happening in your world?? Do you still use incredimail?? I finally found the produce key code on the tower and thought I'd try it and see if it worked well it didn't.? So every time I turn on this computer and sign in this message from Microsoft has this note for me to activate now or after 12 seconds to active later.. so of course I clicked later... One of these fine days it will tell me to either buy that key code or take a hike. When I see all these billions of dollars wasted by the fat cats I get so angry as I sit here poor as a church mouse and they rip off the people of America.? so much for my grumbling!!

"If God is for you", Who can be against you"? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important info on the Stimulus Payment: "This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format: "Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment? "A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers. "Q. Where will the government get this money? "A. From taxpayers. "Q. So the government is giving me back my own money? "A. Only a smidgen. "Q. What is the purpose of this payment? "A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy. "Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ? "A. Shut up." Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy< /SPAN> by spending your stimulus check wisely: If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China . If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs. If you purchase a computer it will go to India or China . If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala (unless you buy organic). If you buy a car it will go to Japan . If you purchase useless things it will go to Taiwan . And none of it will help the American economy. We need to keep that money here in America . You can keep the money in A merica by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US . ---------------------------------------------------------------- Inauguration '09: Get complete coverage<http://news.aol.com/main/politics/inauguration?ncid=emlcntusnews00000003> from the nation's capital. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hotmail® goes where you go.

SHIRLEY H, MY DAUGHTER IN LAW CATCHES MEATS ON SALE AT THE STORE AND BUYS IT UP AND CANS IT. SHE DOESN'T HAVE A FREEZER AND ONE ISN'T IN THE BUDGET RIGHT NOW SO SHE JUST CANS IT. SOME ONE GAVE THEM A DEER SOMETIME BACK AND SHE TOOK A DAY OF FOR WORK AND CANNED EVERY BIT OF IT. WHEN I WAS GROWING UP WE DIDN'T HAVE A FREEZER, EITHER BEFORE THEY WERE MADE OR WE COULDN'T AFFORD ONE REMEMBER I GREW UP IN THE ERA WHERE YOU HAD A LARGE CHUNK OF ICE HOME DELIVERED TO GO IN YOUR REFRIG.(ICE BOX). mILK WAS KEPT IN THE SPRING. LOL I'M NOT ANCINT BUT GETTING THERE. LOL ANYWAY WE LIVED ON A FARM SO EVERYTHING WAS CANNED. WE KILLED 2 OR 3 HOGS AT A TIME. WE MADE SAUSAGE OUT OF A LOT OF THE MEAT WHICH WAS CANNED. HAMS AND SHOULDER MEAT WAS HUNG IN THE SMOKEHOUSE. THE TENDERLION WAS ALSO CANNED. SOMETIMES PORKCHOPS WERE MADE AND THAT TOO WAS CANNED. CHICKENS WERE KILLED 40 OR 50 AT A TIME AND THEY WERE CANNED. MY MOM COULD GO TO THE SMOKEHOUSE OR BASEMENT AND FIX A MEAL IN HALF AN HOUR FIT FOR A KING. YUM YUM DAUGHTER IN LAW LOVES TO COOK SO WHEN SHE GETS IN THE MOOD SHE WILL STIR UP ENOUGH CAKE BATTER(FROM SCARTH) TO MAKE SEVERAL CAKES. SHE MAKES THESE IN LARGE MOUTH MASON CANS AND STORES THEM IN HER BASEMENT. I HAVE TRIED THIS BUT DIDN'T SPRAY MY CAN SO I HAD A MESS!!! ABOUT ANYTHING CAN BE CANNED. I NEVER CANNED A LOT OF MEAT BECAUSE I WAS TOO AFRAID OF SPOILAGE BUT WE DID IT IN THE OLD DAYS WITH OUT A PRESSURE COOKER AND IT KEPT WELL. WE RAISED 70 BUSHELS OF POTOTOES ONE YEAR AND DUG A LARGE HOLE IN THE GARDEN LINED IT WITH STRAW AND BURIED THE POTOTOES. ON A WARM DAY DAD WOULD DIG A SMALL HOLE AND TAKE OUT A BUSHEL OR TWO AS WE NEEDED THEM. THEY DON'T SPROUT AND SWIVIL UP LIKE THEY DO WHEN YOU STORE THEM. THOSE WERE HARD WORK DAYS BUT GOOD OLD DAYS. DOT JO STILL AT 21 AND HOLDING. ----- Original Message ----- From: <makekaus@aol.com> To: <down-home-chatter@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 11:17 PM Subject: Re: [DOWN-HOME-CHATTER] Welcome Back to Down Home, Shirley H > Charles, this gal had a pint of hamburger?canned. and it was a first for > me too.
