Jobs added, but who's getting them? Survey says


Posted: Sep 8, 2015

So, unemployment is supposedly improving but somehow it just doesn't feel like it.  I went to a local strip mall where my Safeway is located yesterday and was sad to see that there were 2 more vacancies just since I'd been there 2 weeks ago, making 6 now.  One was my favorite take-out teriyaki restaurant.  Just gone like smoke in the wind.

Well, this might throw some light on things:  Since 12/2007, native-born Americans have had a net LOSS of over 700,000 jobs while foreign-born residents have seen a net GAIN of 2 million jobs.

So now you know why this still feels like a recession to most Americans...because it IS.

Mosquito SurveySep 23, 2014
This year wasn't too bad for mosquitos until we got a bunch of rain recently & now it's a feeding frenzy! I'm allergic to them & steadily developing allergies/reactions to the things that repel them or help one deal with it (like Benadryl). I need to know what states or parts of states don't have this as a serious problem.  I just can't take this anymore! There must be someplace in this country where mosquitos aren't a huge problem.

Survey On PillowcasesMar 18, 2015
Recently, I have noticed a lot of case-less bed pillows on TV shows.  I also noticed it at someone's home -- a bed pillow in the living room, no less, and I do not think it was case-less because they were doing the wash.   I am not sure what to make of this.   Do you use pillowcases?  If so, do you do anything special with the open end?   (I fold mine in envelope-style.) Edited to add:  Do you use a pillow protector under the pillowcase?   (I do.)   ...

From Survey: Three New Facts About The Tea PartyAug 25, 2013
There are some very interesting insights here. And we all need to brace ourselves. The arsonists would burn the barn down first--if they could, but the GOP hasn't figured out how to do without their fire. Note that a Rasmussen poll shortly before this April survey found 8% of VOTERS identify themselves as Tea Party (49% of voters disapprove them). You'll notice this study finds half of current Republicans (who make up about 1/3 of the electorate now)"identified with the Tea Party movem ...

Taking A Survey On ObamacareOct 25, 2013
Has anyone tried to sign up for Obamacare or at least checked what their rates would be? If so, are your rates better or worse than what you have now? Were you able to get thru the website and actually get a policy? Have you received a letter stating that you will lose your insurance at the end of the year?  If so, will you shop on your own for insurance or use the Obamacare Marketplace? I've heard so many horror stories about the ACA.  Just trying to get an idea of what is ac ...

Casey Anthony Trial SurveyJun 06, 2011
Following this trial and listening to commentary there is very little doubt it seems that Casey Anthony murdered her child and disposed of the body. I think a lot of the bias is because she is a pathologic liar.  Aside from the lying can anyone take a leap and think she may not be guilty of murder or that the state is not proving it beyond a reasonable doubt? Does anyone believe she was molested by her father/brother which caused her psychopathic lying? I heard Geraldo Rivera comment ...
