"Above poster?s caption reads ?Must raise the pigs in our commune to big and fat!?" In America we are doing the same thing - we just don't have posters. The pig being the government, of course.

"At least in Los Angeles, paramedic calls get a fire department response, with a complete big red firefighting truck, usually in addition to at least one ambulance. Often there is a private ambulance, a fire department paramedic truck, and a full firefighting truck..." You forgot to...

"I?d go further to suggest that even if you have a significant other, now is still a great time to see the world. It might even be safer and more fun with a boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse." If you are with someone you are considering to be your life mate, then "rough it" by getting the...

"Blah? you bears are all too conservative with your money. You need to take risks to make money. How do you think people become rich? RISK! And, this is a no brainer, 4.75% interest is nothing when you can way better returns elsewhere. So? QHsurfer, yank as much money as you can, then PM me. I...

"This is the funniest conversation, at the shower, one guest (ex-mortgage consultant) was trying to push debt consolation, and loan mods to other guests who are upside down in their homes. She shows homes, but when asked is not a licensed realtor." I would be interested to know how this...

A similar article can be written about housing blogs. If it weren't for the IHB and its ilk, how many more people would have bought houses they couldn't afford, thereby contributing to the present mess? The democratization of information will hopefully prevent future economic calamities.

Perhaps this should become the thread where we list the casualties of the Easy Credit Calamity of the 21st Century. I'll re-post what I put on another thread: My cousin's dad died after a long fight with cancer the end of August, so he missed her wedding in October. She got laid off...

"Mr. CalGal got ?The Call? today and got laid off." Sorry about that. At least they made the call today instead of last week. I once worked for a firm that let me go the day before Thanksgiving. I saw it coming and didn't really care because I was young. You guys sound like your...

"I disagree. Recent retirees should be fine...that is if they invested properly. Invested in fixed income funds and some bonds, but mainly all cash. As a matter of fact with deflation going on, perhaps cash will benefit them." What are/were fixed income funds & bonds paying the last 5...

"Sorry Whiney, but we?ll win eventually. It?s just a sign of the times. " Poor Troop. I voted no on 8. Previously, this straight, white OC male would have voted yes on a like measure. However, when relatives start coming out of the closet, you start to ask yourself "what is the point?"...

"(assuming my HP17b still works)" A good assumption if it is built like my 20-year old HP 15C which I still use daily.
