The spam I am getting has changed...
2008 - home mortgages and refi
2009 - refi, fix your credit, etc
2010 - get financing for your small business, avoid filing bankruptcy
The spammers know which way things are going ...
I took my wife out shopping on Saturday: I brought the "100 items to disappear first" list and we stopped at a SuperWalmarts in SE PA to fill in some gaps. Anyway, we decided to drive around and see the country sites. My wife suggested we pick a restaurant from the Garmin GPS to have an early dinner. An hour later, we had stopped by four family restaurants listed in the Garmin, all of which were closed and boarded up - OUT OF BUSINESS!!! Four in a row. Do you think there is a pattern emerging?
We finally found a diner that was open.
I'd like to know how to stop Angelina Jolie from stalking me. She just keeps barraging me to join her facebook. I have to say I'm getting fed up with it.Quote:

You know things are getting bad when Dollar Stores are getting robbed at gunpoint. If that's not desperate, I don't know what is.
But that's where the dollars are!!

Went to a mall in the San Diego area on Sunday... not packed but bustling. Great place to hang out if you are trolling for mall a$$... not so good if you don't want to run up your credit card on overpriced garbage.
Not too many places looked like they were about to go out of business, however. Lots of hucksters at the kiosks.
Local WholeFoods has their grilled chicken at 9.99 FRNs now, up from 7.99 just a few months ago. Prices are going up and up, the FRN is steadily going down.
A magazine we used to get is trolling for new/repeat business. They're offering:
1 year $5
2 years $9
3 years $10
Nice prices, but no thanks.
My brother in law works for one of the local school districts and they have some stimulus funds they absolutely had to spend by the end of the month or it was being taken away. So the school decided to throw away all the perfectly good and useful furniture so they could get new furniture for "free". He told us this story in awe about how they were hauling perfectly good executive desks, chairs, sofas, tables, etc to be dumped (nobody was allowed to take any of it or sell it). It's a classic "break the window to stimulate the glass business" scenario.
Local client has a home office where I was visiting him. He got up to let the appraiser come in to look over the house (he may refi, old guy with lots of equity).
The appraiser told him that he was one of the very few jobs he was doing these days that was not a foreclosure.
The state I am in is not a non-recourse state, but is a recourse state, which to me is pretty clear that the foreclosures "bite" is going through the fluff and fat of the bubbles and is hitting the meat and bone...
