"If most people weren't even effected by the Great Depression, then... why does nobody in this country over the age of 70 ever throw anything away?"

And why do people over age 70 like my dad, continue to tell us stories about eating nothing but corn on the cob for dinner, spaghetti that consisted of watered down tomato soup over pasta, and cutting out cardboard to put in the bottom of his shoes because there was no money to buy new shoes? Luckily, he's still around to tell these stories to my kids.

I've got to go over there now and read it for myself.

can you believe a realtor said this? from srep blog today

The markets of the last few years were an aberration. Unskilled agents could fairly easily get a house sold.....and come away thinking they were on top of the game. When the fish were jumping in the boat, how good did agents really have to be to make the sale? Sure the best agents took deep care of their clients, but did their clients always understand that level of care? It is not hard to understand why consumers were doubting the value of real estate agents. That is why "good" markets can actually be tougher for the professional.

I have always believed that markets are cyclical. I think the only debate I have with the "bubble community" is the depth of the cycle. That being said, my belief is that ALL MARKETS CORRECT.

makes you go hmmmmmmm

Jillayne, your Dad ate tomato soup on his pasta? How bourgeois! My father claims his family ate tomato soup made from ketchup diluted with water. I could ask him whether or not they even had pasta, but I'm sure it would lead to a rant about those Eyetalians that lived down the street.

"Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah."

Ketchup goes on everything, including the Thanksgiving turkey dinner.

"We had no fireworks on the fourth of july, instead we had to bang pots and pans together for noise....we had to put hydrogen and oxygen together to make our own water..." he has a million of these.
