You know, maybe I should put this in the Pissed Off Thread but last night, the Princess and I were watching Dateline NBC and they were doing a report on the "mortgage crisis". Now, before strat goes postal on me just let me say that it truly IS a situation caused by greed and corruption. I get that. Being in the business for twenty years, I saw my fair share of "questionable" loans. OK, now that I have prefaced my comments....:
WHAT????!!!!!!!!!!! I sat here ready to friggin PUKE when I heard these morons talking on camera. There were THREE 'borrowers' that were interviewed and guess what they ALL had in common?? ALL three signed for a loan they could not afford ! Worse yet, they continue (probably for litigation reasons) to insist they had no fault!!! WHAT??!?!!??!?! Oh man. I nearly had a stroke!!!!! What the fu#@????????Look, I know there are bad people in businesses. People that would do things to make a buck regardless of right or wrong. I understand. What irritates me is these borrowers claiming they "did not know" that they could not afford a half-million dollar home on a $1600 a month salary! Or, they claim they believed it because the "lender said they could".. WHATEVER! This is FOURTH GRADE friggin math, people!!!! You make $1600 and the mortgage payment is $3000...um, it DOES NOT WORK. You cannot blame that on anyone but yourself !!!!!!!There was even one lady that bought like THREE properties and her income taxes showed she was LOSING money in her business every year!! (Her quote; 'Oh! Those are MY taxes??) Yet she went ahead and signed papers for millions of dollars in loans and now claims it is NOT her fault!!!!!!!!!! Riiiiiiight....... Disgusting.
Like I said, I get that the banks have some responsibility here. No doubt. But these losers that claim they have NO fault at all make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid people should NOT buy homes! I am SO sick of people blaming business for all there idiocy!

Well, yes. True. But... They are closing their foreign factories first. When Renault has to choose which plant to close down - the one in France, or the one in Slovenia - no rewards for guessing which one will be closed down first. No rewards for guessing which plant has the most work now - the one in France, obviosuly. And if Chrysler and Ford have any foreign factories, Im sure that those places were the first ones to get screwed.

as I read the news stories, employees of Ford gm, chry... when the plants closed, they we laid off, alowed to colect state employment benefits, and paid a partial wage so total pay =85% of normal. people who work for suppliers, dunno.
and yes chrysler is doing it too, they are well ahead of build demand on most models. GM did it before they were ahead, so some of the cars I ordered for feb 15 still are not built yet.

Morning metal friends! Hope everyone is well today!
Freeze - I LOVE a good chili, yum! I'm growing my own chilis at the moment, hopefully I get lots of nice spicy chilis after my plants flower 
MG - it is so worth going to the UK, absolutely wonderful. Paris is amazing too, just the fact it is a pretty dirty city can be a bit of a shock. But the sights to see are fantastic.
I probably should be keeping a closer eye on my toast, my cat is trying to steal it LOL!

Someday.. hopefully next fall if things pan out... would like to go for 2 weeks..
At the end of May some of the family is going to Iceland.. I decided not to go.. 900.00 for 5 days, hotel and airfare..

I have heard of it but I have not read it. I do not know if it is an "official" biography or not. I should think that, regardless, if there are stories in it that are unflattering to the Band, there still may be some truth to them. Hard to say.

MG - my husband and I went to the Paris Catacombs earlier this year, very cool! Gotta get there early though as the line is huge, they only allow a certain number of people inside at any one time. Very morbid lol. Here's me at the catacombs lol.
One of the awesomest things we did over in the UK was jump the fence to go to Urquhart Castle (on the shore on Loch Ness) at 10:30pm at night (our tour guide took us LOL so we didn't have to pay the usual 7 pound entry fee haha). It was very eerie and creepy cos the castle had a green light on it and you could hear the water of the Loch below. Just being in a place like that you can feel the history.
LOL I have so many photos of cool historical stuff you can see in the UK and Paris! It's amazing what history there is there.
