Dear recession:

[edwardsfire]

Here in Jacksonville, they just opened a new port! Estimates are that it will create 1600 new jobs. The first ship arrived last week.

Take THAT recession! Also, I've been selling DVD's, books, and video games on Amazon and have made quite a bit recently! Not a profit, but a great way to de-clutter and make some extra $$$ at the same time.

ETA -- I also checked my 401k and I *finally* had a 4% GAIN in December! Of course that doesn't come close to offsetting my losses, but a step in the right direction!

Hey! you arent allowed to succeed! You might offend someone who chooses not to.
there are also alot of places that are expanding jobs and doing quite well.
It just isnt politically correct to talk about it.

I must have missed the memo.. I wasn't aware that people were "choosing" to be laid off from their jobs..

Then why, in the name of all that is Holy, don't you live your wonderful life enjoying it to the fullest? Why are you investing so much time and energy trying to convince other people they are wrong and you are right?

Come on, cut this man some slack! There is no law against boasting about how great one's life is on an internet message board to a bunch of strangers. Geez.

Give it up C.Ann. You're a sweetheart, but this has clearly become a thread of boastfulness that for whatever reason doesn't want to die.

"Yeah, Yeah, we get it already...You're wealthy and recession hasn't touched you and you want the whole world to know how successful you are despite other's people's problems. We're so proud."

How does

The latest figures are out in my location and there were more business licenses issued last year than in the year before. Even when you compare December 08 to December 07 there were more year over year.

Take that downturn! Take that recession!

say that I am wealthy?

Since we seem to have so many threads from the nattering nabobs of negativity, it is only fair and balanced that we have one that shows there is positive news to report.
