I fell alseep today after work. I felt guilty because daughter had cheerleading practice after school and from there she had a soccer game. I told her I'd have a warm supper waiting for her when she got home. But I didn't because I fell asleep. I woke up at 10pm, about half an hour after she got home. She'd already showered and had gone to bed. I went upstairs to check on her. She was in bed text messaging. We talked about her soccer game and her day at school.........and I apologized to her for not having a supper ready..........she's a good person....and I love her.
Work is going pretty good. I like the new owners. They've done a lot to improve the appearance of the building and continue to do so. Our health insurance benefits are better than what they used to be, and they let us keep our senority........the old company didn't contribute to our 401k.......the new owners do..........the new owners provide us with a free lunch........now I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but several of my co-workers went without because they didn't have food at home to pack a lunch and they couldn't afford to eat out.......so for some people a free lunch is a big deal................since i'm a frugal person, and with the economy being what it is......a free lunch is a great thing.
I'm seriously thinking about taking my money out of the bank and hiding it in my house. This economic crisis really has me scared.........and even though the money is insured, I just don't trut that it's safe.
The Wall Street bailout pisses me off. I was dead set against it. There had to be a dozen better solutions.....Washington (mother fuckers) chose to sell us out.
My middle son works at a huge car lot selling cars while going to college. He said banks and finance companies are turning down people with credit scores in the 700's for car loans. He sold 16 cars last month. So far he hasn't sold any cars this month.
The only good news I've heard in regards to the terrible state of our economy is that college tuition prices will plummet..........of course with everything else going up in cost, and the value of a buck being practically nothing, it still may not be affordable.

Making a run on the bank and pulling your money would make you as bad as wall street. Your money is insured and, if it comes down to a panic, it won't be worth anything anyway...Even if you have it stashed under your bed. This is the kind of thinking that only makes things worse. Stay calm.
You daughter looks great. She's going to break some hearts. Two things I noted looking at the pics...
1st, Her snile looks a little forced. Musta been some serious drama.
2nd, her date looks kind of annoyed in the group pic.
Hi Glenn.
I don't think her date was annoyed. He was meeting emilys dad, mother,mothers boyfriend, and emms older brothers for the first time........and he was going on his first date with emily...and if that was enough for the poor 16 y/o....his mom was at my house telling jokes in front of his friends....the poor kid was nervous!
I won't make a run with my money. I know it would be the wrong thing to do........but a part of me, the part that's scared, wants to..
