Fearless Leader, Think you can throw some of this wisdom toward Candy Crowley's way for tonight's Debate? Just a thought...Thanks.
Jim
Ha! Y'all have just as good a chance as I do. I say tweet at her, use hashtag #CNNdebate and see what happens.
OK, I've seen this soooooo many times in the mainstream media,I figured I would get THE REAL Answer from ALL my Braniac friends at Eatocracy.......Are We Better Off Than 4 Years Ago? To be Honest, I can't even remember 4 days or 4 hours ago, but give it your best shot.
Should be Brainiac-Duh...can't spell on a Tootsday.
While I think an argument can be made that some of the losses have been recovered, I think that the biggest loss of the last four years is the sense of any kind of collaboration between the parties. I think that we are more divided than ever, not just along party lines, but also along lines of class, race and even gender. I think the biggest downfall of the last four years is that we are divided along these factors, not united as Americans.
The Smartest Man in the Room has Spoken......Let it Be Written--Let It Be So.
I'm going out on a limb to say that I'm probably about the same as I was 4 years ago from a financial perspective, but my confidence in our economy, my personal financial future and the state of our country is much less than it was 4 years ago.
Hmmmm.....A female perspective I can actually agree with. I'm tired of the BS thrown at us for the past 8 years......NO new ideas as to how to create jobs...NO growth in the markets, A Congress that Can't and Won't Work together..NOR listen to WHAT THE People that elected them WANT. I guess the BIG question is....What's Next in our lives ?
My guess would be that we continue our gradual decline until we truly lose our place to the BRICs. We as a people seem to be tacitly accepting of this fate, and we continue to glorify mediocrity, while making success out to be something evil. We simply cannot keep spending more than we bring in, and sooner or later, the dollar WILL crash.
The level of malaise that I can see today though is something I've not witnessed since the 1970s, and hoped I would never see again.
Hell yeah. President Obamas administration was handed a huge platter of crap and now Republicans and Teaparty members are saying he did not clean up their mess soon enough. If they were more interested in growing the economy and reducing the debt instead of putting all their energy into making him a one term POTUS, just imagine where the country would be today.
Does anyone know about the food scene in Boston? I might be moving there in the next 6 months or so.
If the stars and college paperwork align right, the fiance will be starting grad school in January. I'm not moving out there until I have a job... but the lease on our apartment is up at the end of May. And I do have people to stay with if that timeline passes and I don't have a job.

This one is a must!
Dang! That one's going on the bucket list. Nice prices, too.
Boston is my favorite city, particularly the Cambridge area, best of luck!
Worked there for a 2 month stint. Good eats. Inexpensive lobster and other seafood. Introduced to the bucket of steamers and a beer (Most of the steamer clams come out of the Chesapeake bay, why have to go up north to eat them? Expensive in the DC area when you find them). Great food of all kinds. You shouldn't go hungry or disappointed. The local corner taverns are where the neighbors meet...sing it with me....where everyone knows your name.....lalala.
All the suits sat around the conference room nervously as JBJ explained the complications recently discovered...
Boy, does this picture seem all too familiar right now.
ZZZZzzzzzz.....Huh,Did JBJ say something profound? Who's been drooling on my tie?
I was thinking I needed glasses.
Maybe I put too much bourbon in my coffee?!
Good morning all... facing a *long* day at work (about an 11 hr day because of an update we have to test when it's done).
And the game that I made cookies for ate them all, so I don't have leftovers for my work team. I have virtual ones for the gang here though...
Greetings fellow Klatschkies! I survived Monday, yay, now to work on Tuesday...one day at a time.
SCARY STAT #1. People aren’t as good at multitasking as they think. It typically takes 10-15 minutes to refocus on a project following an email interruption.
SCARY STAT #2. Email distraction docks your IQ by 10 points.
SCARY STAT #3. On average, email interruptions cost workers an hour of lost time every day.
SCARY STAT #4. The average worker checks email 36 times in an hour, sending and receiving 105 emails per day.
SCARY STAT #5. 19% of that email: spam and graymail.
SCARY STAT #6. 59% of middle managers miss valuable information every day – simply because they can’t find it or never see it.
SCARY STAT #7. Email folders and folder rules? Three times less efficient than a simple search.
SCARY STAT #8. McKinsey Global Institute estimates that failing to implement social technology makes high-skill employees and management 20-25% less productive.
I heard one recently, too. Only one third of employees even OPEN all their email, let alone read it.
I wonder what the stats are on Eatocracy usage.
I read email with the morning coffee and before I quit for the evening, replying as I see fit. If something is important, that important, talk to me. A phone call will do. This goes for everyone, including family. A voice conversation can accomplish so much more in so much less time that shooting stupid emails or text messages back and forth. With the advent of social networks it seems that people have forgotten how to talk with one another.
Good Morning All. Time to get your Tuesday on with coffee, hot chocolate or your fave caffeinated cola & a nice chocolate chip scone. Enjoy and have a whip-smacking day. I'm going to go back to drawing a p3n!s as a favor to our lovely acct'g manager. A happy day indeed!
Ummmm...Will this be a Politically Correct Scrotum McMoanum? This is what 4 years of college gets you Kidz. :)) Happy Tootsday Everyone !! How 'bout dem Bronco's? Great Game last night.
Yeah, except Rivers' four picks made me lose one of my fantasy football games. I lost by 2 points. Aaargg.
