Well...Now I've gone and done it.

I took a chance,God he'p me,and watched the 6 O'Clock news...
Apparently,there is an unprecedented mortgage crisis in this country.
It seems that,due to historically low interest rates,mortgage lenders have approved over 376 bazillion dollars in home loans that have no hope whatsoever of being repaid.Many employees of Countrywide lenders,(the wold's largest mortgage corporation), have found themselves locked out of their place of business without so much as a reach around.

..Yet another earthquake has rocked Indonesia,and produced a "Minor" Tsunami..(I guess that's like winning a free spinal tap),..and,
The good news is!!..

Americans are living longer!..
..or maybe it just seems longer.
Have a great week kids! :)..I'm outta' here.

i think the columbia record club got into the mortgage racket. the first 12 months are a penny, then they jack up the prices.

Rube- Dude...I so know better than to watch network news.
I'm hoping a sudden case of searing stomach cramps will come along to dull the pain.

The US mortgage disaster is affecting the Australian mortgage market also... if houses weren't so ridiculusouly over priced, and if people didn't want great big McMansions; and if land was not overvalued; and if wages were adequate to needs not wants... it's be the 1950's.

midle child- We refer to home ownership as "The American dream"..I guess as if the whole rest of the world would just as soon live in a cardboard box behind Wal-Mart or something.
I was just struck by that thought.

Rosie- I just have so many issues with network news.
"Something in your home right this second could kill your babies!..We'll tell ya all about it after the latest update on Paris Hilton"..Crap.
...and I knew that was you. ;)

citymouse- When the going gets tough,the tough get hammered.

Watching network news is not nearly as pleasant as having reeds stuck under my fingernails.
