Auto Bailout

This post could be another controversial one. It's about the auto bailout that is going back and forth. Unions were created for a good reason. They have accomplished much good. They got legislation passed that have done much for the working class. However, they seem to have outlived their purpose. Now, they are making things worse. Their purpose now seems to be to get as much money for as little work possible. This may seem like a good idea to some, but when you consider that their employers are now facing bankruptcy because they can't afford everything, the workers will have no jobs and therefore no money. To be competetive, the auto companies need to get rid of the unions, and yes, structure more like the Toyota workers are structured. They may be getting paid less and they might actually have to work (gasp!), but at least they will have a job and still be getting paid. It's not lousy pay, either. Also, I have to say that I agree with what I have heard Senator Corker talk about. I say kudos to him!

WII

I don't know how many of you have had the opportunity to play a wii game system, but it's pretty fun. And, seriously, don't forget to stretch. Some friends bought one and invited me and my husband over for a gameday. After many hours of laughter and fun, I was already feeling sore. I tended to get a little overzealous with my swing on tennis and bowling. It got progressively worse the next couple of days before it finally began to get better. I was telling a youth from church about the cause of my immobility, and he gave half a chuckle; "Yeah, we call those 'wii pains'". How perfect!!!! Naturally, we are now using "wii lingo" in reference to all things wii. If you get the chance, play, but don't forget to stretch, and watch out for tennis elbow!
