Hold On Tight

Hold on tight, get ready for the storm, better seek shelter, a place safe from harm. It is upon us, inflation gone wild, bull is everywhere, pile after pile. What has happened, I fell into a hole, I know what Alice, in a Fairy Tale told. Everyday, is something new, no one, anywhere, knows what to do. Throwing money, into a bottomless pit, where the greediest of the greedy, are taking all they can get. Hello, hello, is anyone there, hello, hello, does anyone care? Talk about the future, let's worry about now, if things get worse, there won't be one anyhow. Tread that water, keep your head held high, we're in this together, you, and I.

Dear Christy! What an impressive write on the current economic situation. You show the light of hope and not despair. Your message is to wear a brave face. Even the darkest clouds have a silver lining. Thanks for admiring my poem Wink of Eye that complains about the brevity of life of the world and the tall order of love which can not be met in one life. -Mohammad

Accountability, when you are dealing with such a devastating situation someone needs to take responsibility head on. Win, lose, or draw be truthful. No more cover ups we are not children and we can take a punch of need be. Enough of the B.S. talk straight or pay the price, Got carried away, sorry, your friend always, Ron

The first day of the $85 billion bail out for AIG, the executives spent $23,000.00 at a spa. (one day). The country needs to see violence!! All politicians are beyond the hearing range of their people. They need to see it. Vince

Christy - We most certainly are - I'm thankful that I have you on my side in this thing called life - I just got a notice that disability received the letter from my doctor so I should be getting my checks soon and then I'll send the book for your son - God Bless

It's a scary time isn't it? You express the importance of "now" so clearly as I don't really care about what might happen as much as I do holding on to my job and house. Well said! Michael
