this is how bad it was, i splurged and slapped some money down on a bottle of A-1, for the steaks my buddy brought over, I figured I would since the last time I bought a good steak was a while ago,
its a matter of adapting and giving up a few things...Steve, will also appreciate these words too....cause i went home last night to find a bag of Oreo's in the cabinet lol |

Half-Days! Ha, that's rich
Eric, There is no question (at least in my industry) that we've rounded the turn and are headed back towards greener pastures. My father and I are fortunate to have surpassed our last years total profit in the first quarter of '10...that's how bad last year was! I couldn't agree with you more about the "True American's", the folks who put their heads down and trudged on through the BS of 2009. Many of us were forced to adapt, keep our nose to the stone, and maximize every single oppurtunity that came our way, all in order to stay afloat through these tough times. But that's what makes us Americans right?? Screw it, I'm taking a half-day, suns up wind is down! right.... |

Yes I can see an increase in activity here as well, only problem is in the promotional products industry we're the first ones cut out of a budget and the last ones put back in. I expect we'll have a good 3rd quarter but so far we're still just making ends meet. Also doing the half days  crap I've never worked so hard for so little.

A good indication of the times is that Eric is speechless!

That's funny,
A buddy of mine was just telling me over lunch how hard Beck nailed it last night...I'm surprised how much of this stuff is actually making it to the surface! And how bout those government motors (GM)commercials with the claim of the bail-out money already being repayed?!?! Not possible, But that's a whole other can of worms i won't even begin to open in this setting. I'm only 24, this stuff makes me VERY nervous about the next 20 years |

Funny stuff! I heard about both of those recently. Makes you wonder where people's brains are sometimes.

You got it Sean. I watched Beck lay out a special interest cash trail last night that was beyond scary. I'm thinking there will be some tough questions put in front of some folks who won't want to answer between now and November.
Howdy BJ. Looking forward to seeing that BFN! |

O lord,
That "guam cap-sizing" clip was painfully funny to watch, yet so telling of who's really running the show! Hillarious and sad, as for Boob-quakes.... |

Have any of yall ever caught a plate of jello jiggling for no apparent reason? Thanks to an Iranian Cleric, we now know why...
It seems that women who dress provacatively spread promiscuity, and promiscuity leads to earthquakes! (google 'boobquake' if you don't believe me) This may have also played a hand in Guam tipping over? |
