Here I come!

It's been a bad week.

Life, circumstances and choices been kicking you in the teeth this week, John? So glad to see your clips today. Sending you a huge hug as acknowledgment of and sympathy for your crummy week.

Hope things better soon, John.

Bad choices mostly Michelle. No excuses I'm afraid.

@abailart Thanks especially for this and your previous kind comment.

p.s. michelle

thanks for the hugs. Wish they were real.

Good luck John

You get a privileged view at the bottom, mate. You see the people above talking through their arse. Just don't stay there! It is peculiarly a strength to have been down in the darkness, and to travel between worlds. From the darkness grows light and always think of that. Don't despair. It's lovely up here.

A new day is always a new beginning. Know that your cheering section here at Clipmarks is rooting for you.

Great advice. Take care, John.

The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark. -- Barbara Hall, Northern Exposure, Rosebud, 1993

Good luck, buddy.

I hope your situation whtever it is improves soon. Take care of yourself and try to find something to do to take your mind off of whats bothering you.

So true. Hang in there. Trust.

If we assume that the purpose of the economy is to serve and improve the welfare of the entire body of citizens, the U.S. model has clearly been a major failure. It has served a minority, and the majority have not only failed to share in the income gains yielded by the model, they have suffered from reduced benefits, greater job instability and stress, and a diminution of expectations and sense of hope for the future.

The first one is me. I'm in a situation that I will never ever get out of unless I win the lottery and my chances of that are very slim 'cause I can't afford to buy lottery tickets.

"the dangerous class"

It is those a the bottom that usually learn value in what they receive, though this is not always the case, but it is a stronger possibility than some one who has it handed to them. I hate to use this example of Paris Hilton but I just did.

One more point is to note how classless the internet society is.
