It's tough all over ladies. You've already heard my complaining. I had a booth in a trade show this evening and the talk was gloomy all over. When I'd ask someone how they are doing, the answer was usually, about the same as you are, none of the usual nicities. Everyone is so frustrated and basically afraid. The people who were smiling were just trying to be as positive as possible in a tough situation.

We're still all well fed. We have a comfortable home, a car to get us where we need to go, hot water. We have the people we love who love us, and a heavenly Father who loves us. Just keep hanging on, and things will eventually improve.

Hope everyone is right, it just sucks to live in a time like this. I wish they would have laid me off, i would be making more money on unemployement than what i am getting now, and i would go back to school .. and get the hell out of here!! That's for sure..

Janet, I'm with you on being careful what you ask for. I also like to "walk a mile in their shoes". Heck, the higher my position the more pay I expect. Some are extravagant, but what would you do if you were one of these CEOs?

You're right, that's not fair but since when do the CEO's and VP's worry about being fair? Don't let it ruin your day/week. Look at what you DO have and be thankful. Don't lose your joy!

Yep Diana, your right, I thank God, i have a roof over our heads, food in the house, and clothes on my back... what more could you ask for... we just have watch what we spend our money on until this whole mess is over with, make some sacrifices and move on, i'm sure alot of people are worse off than we are.
I'm just mad at the greediness of the rich that got us into this mess in the first place.
Sometimes i just can't believe what i am hearing on the radio or the tv, some people expect Obama to get us out of this mess, buy us houses, cars, that one lady wanted a new kitchen and bathroom and a new car.. i'm just at an awww at what i am hearing these days..... i think i'll call Obama and tell him i need a new job and house...
