BORU'S FUNNY & NOT FUNNY
Boru her with the Sunday AM news. This morning, early this morning (Sunday) at exactly 0623 hours, all of the smoke alarms in the house went off simultaneously. Of course we were all awaken by the shrill noise. I did NOT like it all all. Mom woke up shouting that the house was on fire. Dad woke up and ran all over the house looking for the fire but couldn't find any smoke or nothing. The stupid dogs all contributed to the noise by barking and howling along with the smoke detectors; kinda like "Sing Along With Mitch" but without Mitch and without the bouncing ball. Dad opened the back deck door and put the 6 of the 8 house dogs out into the paddock. He opened the front door and sent Sophie and Radar out into the front yard. He then opened the sliding glass door to the deck and a few of the windows. Fortunately it was above freezing outside as the house temperature went from very comfortable to very uncomfortable. Meanwhile the shrilling continues; I wonder if the neighbors heard it? Dad found a scented candle that had not been properly extinquished by "somebody" before the peeps went to sleep last night, but that has happened before without the smoke detectors going off. Dad got the laundry room step ladder and tried to reach the living room smoke detector but it wasn't high enough. Mom tried lying in bed with a pillow over her head; it didn't work. So now mom has donned her Bose noise canceling headphones and is giving dad suggestions; since she had the headphones on she is inadvertently shouting her help. It's been about 10 minutes now since the shrill started. Dad decides he needs the 6 ft step ladder, which is out in the detached garage. Dad's in his "GRUMPY" PJs, doesn't want to been seen outside (it's light by now) and it's cold outside. So dad puts on his jeans and a sweatshirt and heads off to the detached garage. He returns to the house via the basement kennel so he technically has now checked on Max and Shiloh. They only start barking when dad checks on them; the shrilling is apparently just normal Newf singing to them. Dad goes into his basement office and detaches the smoke detector there from the ceiling mount, it continued to shrill until he tapped it a few times and then it stopped. Then he went into the family room and shut that one up. He came upstairs and got the living room next. Then he did the one in the master bedroom and when that on shut up so did the ones up on the second floor. So then the only sound pervading through the neighborhood was the stupid dogs barking and howling. i didn't like the shrill noise and I hunkered down on the stairway landing going down to the rec room in the basement; that's the stairs that mom fell down and broke her ankle and foot. Anyhows, mom dad and all the puppers went back to bed after the shrill stopped and they didn't get up again until very late this morning.

President Franklin Roosevelt (D) introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary, - No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program, - Now 7.65%
3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year, - No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and, Under President Lyndon Johnson(D) the money was moved to The General Fund and spent by Congress.
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees Would never be taxed as income. Under President Clinton (D) up to 85% of your Social Security payments can be taxed.
