Comments: Yes, the unemployment rate is the piece that hasn't gotten any better yet...supposedly slowing. Calif. is 11% and a couple of the rust-belt states are hitting 27% unemployment....that's a staggering number. I had to lay off a number of employees over the past couple of years, but we've hired a handful back lately. Southworth....you're ignoring my emails....how can I plan retirement without your oversight and wisdom?
Comments: Amen, Sandy!
Comments: Oh c'mon Richard, let the boys have fun. I think Bovie would look great in those polka dot pants & McGee is more a plaid type of guy! As for the economy . . . yeah, I see some small upturns & our housing seems to have stabilized. Lots of folks taking advantage of the 8K 1st time buyer credit & also the incredible low interest rates. Saw 5.35% for 30 yr fixed. Wow! But, when you're out of work & searching diligently for a job without any luck . . . the economy doesn't look all that great! Don was laid off Apr 2 & is searching daily. We have so many of the large Telecommunication companies in Dls that it really affects the economy when they all lay off 10-15% of their workforce! Just to name a few . . . AT&T, Alcatel, Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, Fijitsu, Nortel. Nortel filed Bkrptcy in Jan & then converted to a Ch 7 & sold off all their divs. Don's co was the outsourcing sales arm of Nortel. They were required by new owners to cut back! Our unemployment in Dls has reached an all time high, although not quite as high as the Nat'l Unemp of 9.9%. I'm still hopeful Don will find the job he is so desperately seeking, but the Telecomm industry isn't currently adding any mgr jobs in sales. When Don gets another job, THEN I will say the economy has improved! 
Comments: SNL, those outfits have been all over Laguna Beach for some time now...and they're not golfers either. The statement below came from the Federal Reserve system today: "The Boston, Cleveland, Dallas, Kansas City, Richmond and New York regions credited the first-time home buyer tax incentive with spurring sales. Most regions reported downward pressure on home prices, although Dallas and New York said that prices were "firming." So, are you folks sensing an economic recovery...or is it too soon yet?

Comments: A VERY BELATED H a p p y 20th A n n i v e r s a r y !!! to Robert & Jolae Norman, celebrated this past July 7th, married in Uvalde, TX, 1989. We’ll have to get back to you on the BBQ ‘care package’ after we see if Cooper’s, The Salt Lick or one of the other local joints will cold-ship just enough brisket to go with “two very small eggs”. Congratulations to you both & best wishes for many more!
Comments: H a p p y B i r t h d a y wishes go out to Donna Riley Pratley, today (still barely)! Donna, we hope you’re having a great one out there on the Steel Horse Ranch - either taking a leisurely day off (yeah, right) or out doing something you enjoy most. Try something different next month - c’mon up & see us Sat., 10/3, for our next mini - best wishes!
Comments: Happy birthday, Donna. Hope that you have a wonderful day.
Comments: Happy Jack - So . . . do they allow ya'll an add'l 153.6 times to hit at the ball or do they deduct 153.6 strokes from your 999 strokes??  
Comments: Kathy, you know I'm new at this, but from what I read I think we will get 153.6 strokes as a team!!!!!
Comments: Thank you and welcome, Kathy. Please contact me. Contact info is in the SOC directory. The email address is my work email. Congrats to Donna.
Comments: Toni, the laughs come after a few beers and we start WHOOFFIN the little white, pink, yellow, or whatever color ball!!! It will be a hoot! |
