Yeah, that's a good one Thump..Like the Reps are going to block it! So, an early congrats to you and Granny for the windfall.. Too bad he couldn't have waited a couple of months for Ma to get on that boat. Unfortunately, I'm already dreading Christmas at the Pratt's as JR will lament the COLA snub , his fixed income, and the brutal unfairness of it all (he'll forget the $250 by then). Ironically, that will follow closely with how he paid cash for his new truck. My two cents regarding the huge and rising unemployment numbers and the fact that Tracy and I are just happy to have a job will fall on on deaf ears. Merry Christmas to me!
