No secret that the economy has hit everyone. Retialers stores have enjoyed hiking the prices up so they could make a living. Well the ecomony has finally hit them I stoped at a convince store sunday afternoon the employed clerk said i was the first person to stop in this was at 4:00 pm I assume they opened at noon or 1 since it was sunday.
The store smelled like propne leak she said the store owners were letting the propane tank tank run completly out before they could afford to buy some more.....
A two weeks ago I went into one of our local feed stores to buy some range cake they call it cubes here. At @ $20 per hundred. I bought two bags to say the least this was at 1:00 in the afternoon and I was also the first customer of the day as they had to start up their fancy computer to write me a ticket on it. It took longer for the computer to load. The store owner wanted to talk alot as he said if someone sees a pickup someone else may come in....
This past summer I had to ask tire shops if they would fix a flat rear tire on our tractor. One said no the other said maybe in a couple of days. Now if you even stop in the lot they come out and ask you if they can help you.
Since Christmas our town is like vacant waiting for some drving by to stop in so the can skin them.
I would be interested to read comments about some other experience that people of had.
By the way my adult brother took the career of broadcasting he was layed off (Major city job not rural) As most of you know people of color are taking over broadcasting also.

What does that last statement have to do with the rest of your post or the economy?

You see everyone out there is trying to capatalize off of Obamas base of black folks, nuts, and his homosexual base. Check out the new 16 oz pepsi colored bottles they are trying to make Pepsi bottles as black looking as possible. I saw this the first time I looked at one so have many others.





What??????? :roll: :roll: :roll: You ARE crazy!!!!!

Spent some time with a friend of mine this weekend that owns an independent feed/hardware store here in Montgomery. He says his business has never been better and is planning on expanding this spring.

Tractor supply has built a new store about 20 miles from here and has plans to build 2 more in the area.

The economy is all about confidence..........and listening to the leftist libs will hurt it even more.

What has changed is that we now have a Pres-Elect that says publicly that Deficits Don't Matter just like a Congrees that threw Billions at the banks without a shred of oversight......... :lol: :lol:

I read the same statement you did. To me its one calling it like they see it its called honesty. You see everyone out there is trying to capatalize off of Obamas base of black folks, nuts, and his homosexual base. Check out the new 16 oz pepsi colored bottles they are trying to make Pepsi bottles as black looking as possible. I saw this the first time I looked at one so have many others.

For the record no nuts :shock: of the other 2 sides of his base which are you? I listed three.

You and some others on here are for him because of some wacko lifestyle or upside down position he takes. Old fff preaches the homo agenda. I have to wonder if ones that preachs and upholds these lifestyles saying they are ok. If they are really trying to convince them selves its good and acceptable because of fruit cakes in the family or personal desires and infatuations? One has to wonder how many of you have desires and visions of sugar plums fruit cakes and Hillary dancing around in your minds?
You shouldn't even be allowed to post in ranchers,where decent folks{doesn't matter what side of the political partys they vote for}post.If you "believe "you belong here,tell everyone who you are and about your wako beliefs....

I'm no doom and gloom guy, BUTTTT: the US spent the last couple decades at a rate greater than 100% of income. Speaking of income, the stock market provided some phony income due to the 401K program of the 80s. This phony market increase fueled a huge demographic bubble (the boomers) in a home building bubble. Nothing about these events is sustainable. Hell, even the boomers are moving past their0 years home/vacation home building years. We've had at least 2 decades of unsustainable prosperity - I can't see less than a decade of correction. The US needs this correction because our consumption has gotten soooo decadent. When the idiots pay their stupid tax at Starbucks, I'm happy for them; I'm not sure how this correction will treat the truely needy in the short run (likely not very well). On the longer horizon, correction will empower the poor.

It hasn't hit here yet. Just all the people coming from everywhere else. I went to Home Depot before Christmas to get batteries. All the Wal-Mart shoppers from across the street were parking in the Home Depot lot because Wally World was full. That Wally is one of the super Wally Worlds and I hear tell people just walked out because they had waited in line for over an hour.

Construction is everywhere. Drilling rigs and water trucks are all over too.

We probably need to establish a border patrol at the Red River. Our roads cannot take any more traffic.

It is regional for sure.

Here, we've lost all manufacturing ( 10-15 yrs ago) so we had transformed into a tourist based economy. Well, that's OVER big time. Many hotels, attractions, restaurants, etc are either closing or GONE, never to return.

My Mom works @ the local foodbank/church clothing store and said she's never seen so many people in there as of late,many people she did not expect to see in there either.

We used to be a sleepy little community. Lots of tourism too. Then big retail came and drove out all the maw and paw shops, lumber yards, etc. What used to be a "bypass" is now longer than the business route through the old town square. If you pass through here, you need to take the business route through old downtown.

Kolo it is beyond rediculous. Most cumbersome of all is the traffic.

No, that was when my old compuer at the office blew up,
2 computers back even now, and I could not re-log in. The next wk the office got moved here to the house with a new ' puter!!!

So, I had to get a new tag name/password.

Ieven think I emailed Macon about it or some ' moderator about it, that was yrs ago and really no secret at all.

Maybe it was to you cause you have your ' problems' with comprehension and all that.


I even think Cattle Army had the same issues once, I think she was Cattle R Me once or something of the sort.


You must be having a S-L-OW day................. I never dig thru the archives......to much shite :!: :!:

O how we lie and receive. Seems when you introduced yourself to the group you did not say hey this is Lulu with a new identity you instead took up for her like you were a person watching from a distance for some time and had to speak out. :wink: :roll: Hypocrisy is a strange thing!

And to Disagreeble....seems like you got'em scared of something! Excellent reasearch tactics!

I read where this Katrina jumped on the poster Lulu....that poster said NOTHING to offend Katrina but WHAM this Katirna goes on the attack.

Ya'll are running off more people than you realize....but I guess you don't care. So go ahead and attack me....I don't give a rats ***. Here's some ammo. I'm DEMOCRAT, despise all Bush's, support the troops NOT the war.....I ranch and always have and untill someone pays me about $7M for this hunk of dirt, I guess I'll keep at it. I've got 3 Master's Degrees and 2 Ph. D's and lilved all over the world from time to time. So, I've been " off the farm" once or twice.

Oh..and one more thing on this Rove issue. All the ones with their tail caught in the door are saying " oh!!! if we'd known it was a secret (referring to Valeria Plame) about her being CIA...blah blah blah" YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT CAUSE IT WAS A SECRET.....GET IT!!!!!


Ok....attack!!!

Good grief, aplus...does your life and self respect and self esteem revolve around a message board? Are there not people in your "real life," if you have one, that you can debate with? It seems as tho your main purpose is to "out" someone...or ridicule someone...or belittle someone...OR, make yourself appear as the ultimate authority. And, it's on a message board...a freakin' internet message board.

The people who are negatively carrying on about Obama on this message board are what? Maybe 10? The people supporting Obama on this message board...maybe the same amount? Really doesn't matter. This message board isn't the country...so you and Sandhusker and Mike, and Stever, and everybody else, hell, knock yourselves out! Your BS is just that...BS in a teeny, tiny little forum. Aplus, keep digging in the archives...keep outing people...maybe, just maybe one or two people will care, and pat your on your back. Big whoop!!
