I don't! But you come to my house and tell hubby that there was not going to be any holiday cookies and pies! He looks forward to that all year long. It is his favorite part of Christmas.:p
His Christmas list is just a list of what types of cookies he wants me to bake.

If I had to be specific between 1/09 & 1/11, i would have to say yes, because at least I have a "job" (though not a career position :() for now as opposed to being mid-way through a 6 month unemplyment stretch back then. And I am what most would consider as part of the "under-employed sector" and making only about 1/2 as much as I was.

But to borrow (& twist) a few lyrics from the band HellYeah
It’s just the good ol' boy in me
I got my friends I got the recipe
For one hell of a life
I got my girl got my family
Got my dogs and that’s all I need
For a hell of a time...

:D

Yes, but I've worked very hard to become debt-free. The company I work for has seen sales gains, but I know how hard things are. We put out an internet ad for manager trainees a week ago and got so many responces it crashed HR's personal computers and to a degree the servers.

Much better off than two years ago. My retirement accounts were nearly wiped out. At least I am now90% recovered. But still the lack of oversight of financial institutions still concerns me greatly.

Fannie & Freddie had Barney & Chris on "oversight" duty and look what's happened to them.

Who/what do you think would be an appropriate person/group/entity to give you some peace of mind? :confused:

Well at least Beck wasn't part of the problem (and getting the payoffs) and then claims he's the solution to the problem he helped create.

Govt was a major part of the crisis. From the Clintons & the Bushes to the Fed & the Congresses.
So I ask, what would Zeus (& yourself) suggest to alleviate those "concerns" :?:
More govt? :confused: :shock:

I promise I won't pull the football away again Charlie Brown regards.:twisted:
