This is so sad...
A 100-year-old greeter at a Milwaukee Walmart was shoved by a customer after the centenarian tried to stop the woman to determine if she'd paid for items that were in the lower part of her shopping cart, police said Monday.
This woman works about 34 hours a week at 100 years old. Some jackass pushed her for doing her job and put her in the hospital. What kind of person pushes an elderly woman? This world gets more disgusting every day.

Congratulations to the 11U Stealth for taking the title in the 12U AAA event this weekend at the Thanksgiving Shootout. Great job as always boys!

This was in the Arizona Republic today "
"Debt isn't stressing people as much as it had been, but consumers remain gun-shy about embarking on a big holiday spending spree." Does this make sense to anyone? Everyone I know is in worse shape than they were a year ago and these are people that have been smart with their money, had their reserves and did not lose their jobs. Sorry but I find this article hard to believe.

Well the Black Friday ads are flying into emails all across the country at record pace and some of the deals look good. I do have to say the most interesting ad I saw today was one from ING. Yes ING the online bank. They sent out their own Black Friday ad. Pretty funny and a good way to capitalize if you ask me.

Congratulations to the 10U and 12U Stealth Baseball teams for taking the championships this past weekend. Great Job Boys

So... there was a funny article in the paper today about a collection agency finding a woman on Facebook and asking her friends and family to have her call the agency. The woman dodged the agency and her bill for awhile to get to this point so why can't they use this method to track her down?

I never understand the after hours holiday office parties that do not invite the spouses. I am sure the people putting on the parties are only trying to save money but don't they realize that mixing people, booze and no spouses can only lead to trouble?

Nothing new is happening so far this week. Mortgage rates are on the rise so loan applications are at a 4 month low. The housing market has really slowed down over the last month but I think everyone knows that is happening. I really wish we could get back to at least some sort of real estate market that makes sense.

I am such a girl...I was so excited to see that there is going to be another Royal wedding. I remember watching the first wedding with Prince Charles and Lady Diana. It was amazing. I am sure this one will be just as spectacular. I do hope the outcome for their future is much better though.

The Black Friday deals are already being leaked and so far I am not impressed. Maybe my son is getting to old for toys and games now so the items I used to go crazy over are no longer a hot ticket for me. I feel old today.

I am one of the only fools I know that actually looks forward to shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. Ya there are some deals but really it is about the time I get to spend with my mom and sisters running around town, laughing at all the people fighting and taking it so seriously , and then capping it off with a yummie breakfast before we head home to sleep. Only 2 more weeks and the fun is here again!

So...for anyone that says that people are not spending money right now they were not at the opening of the new Nordstrom Rack today. Nothing was being given away, there were probably 1500 people there before the doors opened this morning and when you finally could get in the store people were throwing clothes in their shopping bags like they were the last items on earth.

The election is over, Republicans control the House, the stock market is going down, jobless claims are at a "four month low" (ya right). I am still waiting for things to get better like the news keeps telling us it is.

A Florida grandma and her boyfriend tried to sell her grandchild for $30,000 this week. The mother of the baby is in jail. Can someone please tell me how these people are even allowed to have children living with them. This poor child did not ask to be brought in to this world and treated like like a sale item.

Let's see if the new majority house will actually walk the walk and not just talk after they have control of the house. They need to stop spending money on things that do not matter to the people and get the budget in line. I know at one point they had to be in touch with reality. They need to get that back.

The housing market in Phoenix took another nose dive this month. I was talking to a client and her house is worth less than it was when she bought it 20 years ago. Something has got to happen to stabilize this market.

Mortgage rates on the rise. Homes in the better areas of Arizona are staring to level off also. It is still a good time to buy a home. Don't sit on the sidelines and miss the boat.

Well the elections are over and most of the races have been called. Just as expected the House has been taken over by the Republicans. Let's see if they can do anything different and get some stuff done. Only time will tell.

Well it is election day and true to form stocks rose early in trading. They are leveling out in later trading waiting to see how things unfold when the votes are counted. I can't wait to see how this goes. Off to vote...

Well election day is tomorrow. It will be interesting to see it unfold. There is going to be a shift in the feelings in America the days after the election but will they stay?
