I can relate. I don't want pity -- I want relief from the penny ante bureaucrats who are robbing us blind for our last nickel.
Do I sound crabby? Try living on nothing by today's standards.
Tell me about it! 250 people got fired at my company yesterday, and I am happy to still be working (even for less than I was making at my last job), and hoping that my my 401K doesn't lose too many more thousands before I have to live off it (hey, at least I have one).
Gratitude is key—count your blessings, however meager you may perceive them to be.
A sense of humour is important, particularly in difficult times...ha!
Loved the "cash flow"!
what a mess, mess, mess.... on the news tonight, there was a story on the US gov't bail out of the banks and no one is paying attention to where the bail out money has gone! Half of the intended cash has been given out, and no accountability process was put in place! What the heck??
Glad a new skipper is taking the reins very soon. My heart bleeds for the guy. What a mess he has to begin to clean up.
Hi Judy,
Just dropping by to say hello and wishing to you and yours a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I read the other day that a couple of bloggers didn't check their bank statements - 'that's the bank's job.'
Are they mad????
Re what Alexa says - I have just been watching 'the Diary of Anne Frank', Heart breaking but really makes one realise how very fortunate most of us are, just to have our freedom.
I keep thinking about the ghosts in this economy. They have no computer or computer access and so we really don't know what it happening in their lives.
Pathetic...that a country full of the brightest minds has allowed this to happen. Actually, it is a global matter of greed. I'm glad my son has an excellent job, but it will be a long time before he can work back in this country - the jobs are just not here. I have my fingers crossed for a light to show at the end of this tunnel.
You have the best Judy. The best of minds. The best universities. Experts in science Technology and economics, best authors, journalists. All these best minds couldn't stop a few idiots taking the citizens for a ride.
Better to laugh than cry...but it's not always possible ! I especially could relate to the Standard and Poor.
Dividend-divide what's left at the end of the quarter and what you get is The End.
