Oops. I sound like another person asking awkward questions.
Well, there's been a lot of talk about people in the US getting cheap loans, and then being in a difficult position when interest rates rose, and going into default, causing huge problems for the banks. And some people thinking the rest of us have suffered as a result.
That's true, to a degree, but the whole world has been on a buying spree. Chinese goods more affordable (especially electronics), China, in turn, expanding and buying up huge amounts of raw materials, oil and coal. So, it's a world-wide problem of fast expansion of debt in all sorts of areas, and money in short supply. Thus, maybe it has flowed into a few coffers where it will just take a while to flow back out again. Maybe when the share markets are so low they will be very attractive. That can't be far off. Some markets have already started to stabilise.
Phew! It's a good thing we can also chat about more pleasant things in BM.

Unfortunately, I've been slacking with the gym, and the eating, so the weight is on a stand still. I've recommited, and I'm determined to get this done!
what's up with you, buddy?
underdown:
Stick with it, bud. It'll be worth it. (The gym, that is ... not the food).
What have I been up to?
Only the usual. Came back from Melbourne after a bad experience with the work there, and now back in Sydney, doing what I love most.
Working with a great company that wants to expand their development and construction business.
Looking around for a happy place to live.
Going out on the occasional date but not very serious about it. Heee, I mentioned one of those to Fiona, and she wanted a blow by blow account (no pun intended). ;D Actually, it was a bit of a non-event. Can't seem to get enthusiastic the past few years.
How's your tickling going?
