Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round

So Saturday...60 degrees, I was painting that room in short sleeves. Saturday night, it was raining. Sunday snow and ice rain. Monday night...snow. Today...It's so cold I think I just shriveled up and turned into a woman. It is so cold my nipples could cut glass! Where's Brad Pitt when I need him?...just looking at him gets me warm. :-)

So I have written this post over and over today and I just can't seem to get the words to flow. I find this very interesting as a week ago, I posted a really long post that I composed in less than an hour. My writer's block seems to be running in a cycle, and that's when I really started to look at life and noticed that nearly everything in this world runs in a cycle (except for time).

We hear that history repeats itself....and if that's true, am I doomed to get into failing relationships? I see society and notice we are making the same mistakes we were making 20 years ago in the 80's. Real Estate prices are going up rapidly and people are putting themselves further in debt....when does it end? When do the bill collectors come a knocking?

Maybe I can be fatalistic, but I don't see this economy stabilizing yet. The Rubbermade Corporation just laid off 700 people here, Office Max (whose corporate headquarters is in Cleveland) just merged with Boise Cascade, and will be letting go of all duplicate employees in the next few weeks. More importantly, if people quit buying things because they are maxing their debt out, it's going to crush the economy for the worst.

A very smart financial analyst said that for every year of a bull market, we will have a year of a bear market to follow. If this is the case, people....we've got 4 more years of this economy, and I question how many of us will survive it.
