JERRY LAGRECA - YOU MADE IT! MASSAPEQUA IN THE HOUSE

No problem, jerry... I'll pass it along... GIVE A BROOKLYNIAN "BIG UP" TO JOEY BUTTAFUOCO (or Jerry Seinfeld, if he still lives there?)

The Fix

There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg Fl. Times. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on: "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the "Patriotic Retirement Plan":

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.

It can't get any easier than that!!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes..

Mr. President, while you're at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

Hi Terry:

Sorry Ann and I won't make it tonight. It's been a bad

week with my uncle Walter passing away. He was buried

yesterday. He got sick about 1 month ago and is already

gone. Hard to believe. We'll talk soon. Have a blast

tonight. LOVE................

22 days until Christmas....

Good morning every one;

it's a beautiful fall day a little brisk but nice for a walk

try to go out and smell the fresh air, sometimes it helps to clear you mind of all the sorrow we have endured in life

God Bless you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi - thank you all for your wishes. I feel the love. Still so very sad - wake and funeral Sat./Sun./Mon.

Donna - sorry to hear about your uncle (Mr. Shannon - never could call him Walter!). May he rest in peace.

Warren - we could never do that. Close or far, young or old, we're all friends with lots to share. (love the pic of you and your better half!)

All - have a great weekend - weather's supposed to be cold but dry. Enjoy.

Patsy and Joe ......Happy Belated Birthday

love you both!
