Ron did you not allow my latest post because of my cussing... or did whomever is " watching me" on my computer do it?  The thread I named was " Who do you vote for B......d of the year."...was just wondering as five pages showed up when I went to log on here on the internet. It concerns the 4 1/2 per cent rate hike our electric company says they are going to impose on us Jan 1st...and it's unfair. Retired people were denied an cost of living raise by Obama...and Oregon according to an independent group is charging its people almost three times more then their wages comply with being able to pay. The electric service is an "monoply" company here. They just got rid of all thier service trucks and meter readers for in office reading by stalittle and my billing was wrong this last month also on my last billing they had hiked it up again like it was last winter about this time...I called them on it..they said it was because of the heat coming on...well, we started our fireplaces up and most my neighbors no longer are displaying Christmas Lights this year because we aren't given the money to live off of...... with everyone giving out rate hikes...they need to stop until our economy see's its people able to afford them. I am asking "nationally" for leaders to help us from these "carpet bagger" types. I will be writing the utility commison here in Oregon, the Advancment for Colored people and several national radio talk shows to see if I can get their hosts to mention this also. We can't raise and make them buy trees where my husband works for added monthly revenues...so why should they do this to us..it is unfair. I see them going broke, they have been on this "path" of greediness far to long., They took out Kenny Lay...but the people he trained are still there up to the same dishonest business dealiings...they need to leave. I wish George Bush and his "influence" would leave us..Ii think it's going to take the angel Micheal and his Holy angles in battle before we get the US cleaned up once again..... It may be just around the corner. This month alone we have 5 people less in our house using less electricity...from heating thier rooms, to taking baths daily to doing thier laundry...and I might add that for the first time in 32 years we hung up no outdoor Christmas lights. All this should be making an difference. An dramatic difference. I'm tired of paying top dollar and going cold every month. We don't use our downstairs during the day...and seldom at night. I'm getting off of electricty..they are scum bags...nazi like ditators...and poor admisnitrators of the business to the people they serve publically...they serve no one but themselves...if they need money they can get out of their other business adventures. That includes PGE Park, the Rose parade and all thier so called civic things they back,...they can't afford them if they they can't live on the money they already are making...and they make plenty....they have tax write offs few private citzens can take.  Shame on them!!!

I am asking all Californians to also take notice fo this...because they sell thier ecess power to them...though I understand they refused to deal with the last time they made thier contracts because of high rates also. Wann stay in business...then do it correctly...not for huge profits and the mercy of the common people. this is the very thing that Al Quida was trying to wake us up to realize when they bombed 9/11.... if it wasn't these people quietly passing through an 40 per cent electric hike back then and needed  anpublic diversion...remember...dear "Kenny boy" was sitting down the street at George Bush's honor back then also..part of his rouge gang on how to rake us all over. Our service industries don' t need an profit...they are an utilty service....and ought to act like one.

I'm sorry Ron..things kind of came to an al laround recogning that I can't really afford to keep electricity in my house any more..I guess I should not take it out on your guy's ears. I went to church tonight, the Christmas Choir..it was wonderful and I realized my problem here when they talked aobut "God's light" and evil light being artifical light to the human soul...what more is the electric company...BUT artificial light.....they can't see what they do wrong... when they do wrong, but to say that they aren't making money is an lie...not only did they give up all the meter readers in town and their cars, but Portland city introduced electric ran "smart cars" to the city that you use electric meters to charge them up with...so why the increase when no one has been given raises in years on end......thier suggestion to me as to not being able to afford their rates the last time was to put me back into 1950...and use an small space heater and basically live in my bedroom only. they are nuts and I do mean crazy...where is the progress over the years beyond thier price hikes?..heh? The less we use the higher it costs.... until we are paying " top dollar" to be cold everyday just trying to live in our houses.... that is not electric service to the consumer. it is paying the way for people to die of lack of heat in the winter time because they can't afford it...and that is most in-human and greedy as you can get. Times need to change. I also while I was in church tonight asked if it be God's will that we see no big earthquake in San Deigo during this eclipse on Dec. 21st

... I gave my sister her Christmas presents tonight...I will give my grandkids and son/daughter in-law thier gifts tomarrow...and then all I am obligated to do is be there for christmas dinner, though I don't know if it would make an difference to them if I weren't to tell the truth. But perhaps I can in my soul find my "God" once again. Or "JC"...and they sure did an thing on why he's probably got every right to never show up with what's expected of him by others..in my life...in church tonight.  But he IS something special. He transends mankind an million fold in his accomplishments in life and living. I use to enjoy "talking" with him and he could make me laugh when others couldn't..and help me understand this world that is so unfair. I was talking an bit to him last night and I kept seeing this dark figure walking toward me and it scared me an bit...and then I recongized the dark figure...Micheal Jackson. It still woke me up though....courts are still thowing the book to his dad for butting in on his money affairs concerning Micheal's kids. Good for the justice center. Paris said it all when she said..".I love my daddy". He loves her too!...including his boys., There is an very strong bond there.

After church we went down to the mobs of people walking down Peacock Lane in Portland...it took us an hour to get maybe three blocks in the car....but I wanted to do something with my sister as her car is not running and she never gets to go anywhere much. Though does get to go to church early in the morning again..they come an pick her up. Different church then the one tonight.I like to do that...if I say I am an certain faith...they revoke you...but if you don't say you are an particular faith, they may think of you as an "rougue"but your usually accepted and each church is slightly different and each church has their own specialty in the world of human endeavor..way they conduct church.this one we went ot tonight is where my grandson has scout at...it's huge....two auditoriums for serves it's so big. The one we went to on Christmas eve last year was my neighbor's house...the Pastor of the church..and he's literally saving it in ways. But it was so very simple. The candle light service was so simple with only an guitar, and he read from the bible...but there was so much "love"radiating out amoung the people attending. It was wonderful.  His words when they moved into his dad's house was...you know you don't have to wait until Christmas to come and see me in church...but it's pretty much worked out that way if I see him over this season. I need to get some more children's clothes to him. I have been giving his kids all my grandkids nicest outfits.. because Reverands tend to need them for more occasions throughout the year. I go now, I'm slowly winding down from an very long day.When it is that mankind pays more attention to his profit then his people's needs...it then you know he needs to go out of business...or at least do things differently. for he has made his money collecting into an "God".. and forgotten who the real "God" is.... and what he stands for...his people. Without an real "God" prescence...and not that of religion only...we become savages of the worse kind in life. For we have loss our moral codes and what precious life is all about...Love..kindness...mercy...and sharing. I go for now.
