The economy

I saw a man today holding up a sign that read

Single Dad
Just lost job
I need help!

So sad to see a grown man out there. Imagine the pride he had to swallow just to stand out there. Things are getting bad...and it seems like nobody is really that safe. Mervyn's is shutting down, Mother's cookies that go way back to when our parents were kids filed Chapter 11. People that have sold Millions of albums are even going Bankrupt. Kevin and I aren't doing too bad though...I guess we kind of fly low under the radar. We don't have any money in stocks yet and i'm just a little bakery girl and well, kids have to go to school so...we don't seem to be in any real danger. But i'm scared for others :(

Ok, that's my two cents on the matter.

  1. I just saw a sign today. It was posted on a street corner. No one was there. Just a sign that said:
    I need a job- call me

    Then it listed a phone number.

    That's desperation!! So scary!!
