The economy does suck. All the wealthy people that my cabinetmaker husband depends on for work are worried about the economy and so are pinching their wallets shut. He's had to take a $9.50/hour job at Walmart--which won't pay for anything but groceries--because no one is hiring here in New York. And I can't support four people on my income as a freelance editor, even though it's a good income. I'm so sorry that you're going through this mess too. I'm right there with you, Karoli.

I'm sure I'll find something good about it...just not tonight. And you especially remind me to have gratitude for what is good, rather than focusing on the frustrating. Thanks, Kmilyun.

I have been pissed off for months now – especially when something I need is not attainable because there is not money it.
I hear you on that one.

I can not pretend to understand the frustration and all the emotions that would go with having to close the doors on the space your business called home for so long. Not to sound lame but- you have accomplished so much so remember it is the economy not you that is failing at this time.

I am sure that a strong woman as yourself and your loving family will make it work!

But yes, it is a sucko deal and being pissed is so understandable.
