A Cute And Caring Senior, My Mom

In about 7 months, the autumn leaves will be falling all over my property. We cut down a few trees, yet there are many trees and our neighbors do not always clean up their leaves; and they become my leaves.. There should be a law to fine people whose leaves mess up a neighbor's nice and clean lawn. Only kidding, but really it is a good idea that will never make it attached to another law on the records like our congressmen like to do. I had a professor once who was a psychiatric doctor in a medium size mental hospital. The director loved to give the doctors lots of paper work (long before computers) to write on this and that and that and this. The head director never even read them; he was giving them busy work, even though they were too busy already. One day, the doctor played a joke on him. He handed in a ten page report and he wrote only his thoughts on the first two pages. The last eight pages were blank. He received a glowing and appreciative report saying that his work was fine and he had established a good opinion. He laughed because only the first two pages were anything pertaining to the opinions sought and the last eight could be used for scrap paper. Do you think our congressmen really read and know what is in the bills they present and who adds on to what about anything? Nancy Pelosi said we will have to sign the health bill and then we will read it. This they did and now problems are occurring every day , now that it is in force. I laugh when I hear the money being spent everywhere and the billions offered everywhere else. And then they take an innocent senior like me and send her a letter telling her that her drug coverage premium will be raised two dollars and ten cents a month, because she is being punished. Punished for not signing up for it the first year and so she is being penalized two dollars a month for her naughtiness. Ha. So they get me for over 25 dollars a year, because I am a bad person. Multiply this by thousands or millions and this will help to pay for some of the money being spent and misused. Maybe the congressmen need to have a thing like spell check at the end of each bill submitted and this will tell them things have been added on erroneously. I called the drug plan place which was really part of Blue Cross Carefirst and the lady at the other end said “really, this is interesting, I will tell my superior." I said forget it, because probably another ten page report will be written and the first two will be about my complaint and the last eight will be blank. Mom many years ago, Mom got a letter from Social Security at about 5 pm in the afternoon on a Friday. She called me up frantically worried, because the letter was dated eleven days ago and had just arrived to her. It said she would not get her next SS check, because they had overpaid her 25 dollars and they wanted it back immediately. However, it just arrived. I ran over there to calm her down and on Monday, I called SS on her behalf. I told them it had just arrived and that they made an old lady upset threatening her with no SS check next month. The employee said she would mark it down on Mom’s record and to send the 25 in care of her and to tell Mom not to worry. Maybe the letter for the 25 dollars should have been sent via Fed Express or UPS so it would have arrived immediately. So here is Mom being threatened, an old senior, here is Elita a bad person, because she did not sign up early enough for a program and we sure are bad gals. The average American is a good soul, prompt in their requirements, hardworking, caring, and kind and we get noticed. It is nice to be noticed, appreciated and cared about. But not in this way. Perhaps I will write a report about these notices. The first page will be with the facts and pages 2 through 10 will be blank. I am sure no one will read it, like it or care about. Maybe I will win a writing award for being a caring, competent, careful, considerate and cute old senior. I hope the IRS doesn’t send me a note for sure because I am a complainer and if they do, please send it via Fed Express, UPS or even USA priority mail. I will really appreciate that. Maybe the coming autumn leaves will spare me this autumn and blow somewhere else or I may have to write a scathing letter about them too. Who knows that may be a great theme for an award winning story. If I win some money for the article, I will surely submit the taxes right away, so I do not get another letter reminding me to do so. I hear that a contestant on The Price Is Right who gets their prizes worth 10 thousand, they have to send the IRS immediately, 25 percent tax because, they 'worked' for it answering the winning questions or any quiz show is the same When I won 2000 thousand dollars in a raffle in 1958, I had to the next day send the IRS, my check for 500 dollars and I was told to do it at once, even before the winning check had not cleared my checking account. The other 1500 went to buy Mom and Dad a new dining room set, because theirs was 35 years old. Oh, I bet the IRS if they knew, M and D received a 1500 dining room set, they may have demanded some money, because they earned it being "excellent parents" and that was work too. Mom and Dad are gone 32 and 52 years. Hope they do not come after me for giving them a 'gift'. elita sohmer clayman     We Recommend • Babysitter Tortured Staten Island Boy Who Died, Prosecutors Say (The New York Times)
