The Rooftop Singers - Walk Right In
We thought this was a funny song as kids. We used to love to walk right in, and then quickly sit right down on the floor!
The Kingston Trio - Where Have All the Flowers Gone
Another song from the same time. I remember listening to it while sitting under the Ping-Pong table.
The Ants Go Marching One by One
We used to sing this on hikes. Usually on the way back, since we were tired by then.
Olivia Newton-John - Have You Never Been Mellow
Teresa bought this song on a 45 rpm record. She would play it over, and over, and over again.
And a some of the TV shows we used to watch.
The Partridge Family - Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque
The Monkees - Pleasant Valley Sunday
Scooby Doo Theme Song

Bad Parking
Whatever the reason for their bad parking, we don’t like it.

We Can Still Dance
Children dance to a band's music. It is cute to watch. They all have their own little way to dance!

Happy Songs
So the economy is down. We can still be happy. What's the use of worrying?
In the eighties, we could be happy. We can be happy now, too!
Always look on the bright side of life.
I'm alright. And you are, too!

Cats and the Economy
Even cats are trying to make ends meet during the recession. Some are having better luck then others.
This kitten is trying to figure out how to spend all of his money.
And this one's investments have paid off.

Unemployment Sucks
In this recession, many people are out of work. Fortunately, I am not one of them. I am happy to have a job during this recession. But, this since business is down, a lot of companies are having
furloughs instead of layoffs to get by. This is better than getting laid off; you take time off, and can get unemployment benefits, and you don’t have to look for another job.
My company is doing this; for now, we are talking one week off every four weeks. However, the state unemployment system is not set up for furloughs, it seems. How it is supposed to work is as following:
1. File an unemployment claim for the first week you're furloughed.
2. Claim jobless benefits for the first week. You must serve a "waiting week" before you start receiving payments.
3. When you go back to work, restart your claim each time you are furloughed.
4. Claim the furloughed week after restarting your claim.
What happens is this:
1. You file your claim, and enter the information for the first week off.
2. You restart your claim for your next week off.
3. You find out that your first week off was not counted as your waiting week.
What happened? Well, either you forgot to claim the first week, or there is a bug in their software, and it did not note that you claimed that week. I think it is a bug, since this happened to a lot of people at work. Or the instructions are not clear.
So, now you have to talk to the unemployment division to get the whole thing figured out. What fun! That does not go well always, as the article above talks about.
Let’s assume that you get your claim figured out. Now you will get your money. But how much?
You may get your unemployment check on a debit card. And that card may have fees.
I’ll be glad when the recession is over.

Colds Suck
I have a cold. I hate colds. Runny nose, sore throat, tired, etc. Sort of like these people:

I think I'll take some more cold medicine, and go to bed.
