Adam Lambert singing Mad World..........Loved It!!! YouTube - Mad World (Top 8) LIVE - Adam Lambert

Excuuuse me....I should've said IMO. In other posts, I've stated that I use a crystal ball :)

Already working on it :laugh:

I couldn't agree more. S&P 500 at 500 would've happened last year without all the stimulus. They just prolonged the inevitable.

Yes, I did have meat growing up, just not on a daily basis. We had 3 "expected" suppers every week. Every Thursday we ate beans and cornbread, Friday was potatoe soup and hamburgers, Saturday was biscuits with gravy or homemade white syrup (sugar and water). We had chicken about twice a month...

Persistence is what got me to where I'm at today ;D So glad I don't take myself, or others, too seriously. It's all good.

Potatoes are a daily staple when you're poor. Fried, scalloped, baked, mashed, french fries, potatoe soup...made it seem like you were eating something different everyday. Breakfast was a bowl of white rice with a bit of milk or a piece of toast torn up in a bowl with a bit of milk. Nutrition...

Since you've been eagerly awaiting my 4th prediction (geez, you're actually keeping track), I don't want to let you down. My 740 never came to pass in the last half of 2009, but I believe this level will be reached in 2010. Actually, I believe 2010 will be pretty dire. I think I've joked...

I drive a 2005 Avalon and love it! Toyota customers are pretty loyal. I know I am. I look forward to getting this fixed, and it won't deter me from buying another Avalon in the future.

Congratulations! Enjoy this giddy time in your life :)

Thank you, tmm99. I'm now trying to "pay it forward". My second husband and I have 5 grown children between us. My youngest is 25. I'm 48 and my hubby is 58. Two years ago we became foster parents to a 5 year old boy. He's now 7. Our intent was to open our door up to several foster...

I can tell you from experience how difficult it is if you are born into a poor family. Your dreams are very limited as you grow up. You don't have a clue what's really possible. I was the youngest of six kids. From age 3 to age 7, we lived in public housing. We lived paycheck to paycheck and...

Well said, Running Man. I'm the crystal ball gal that thought the S&P would be at 750 by October 2009. Obviously, I was quite wrong. The unprecedented government intervention has just delayed the inevitable.

"Sometime", meaning I'm not predicting an exact day, just a date range. Okay, S& P at 750 on one of the days between today and October 31, 2009. Isn't this board supposed to be fun, too :)

As of now, there is approximately 15,000,000 Americans unemployed, the market has declined considerably since 2007, and home prices have plummetted. All 3 of these factors affect the average person's net worth. We are a consumer-driven economy. The consumers are saving more and spending...
