    We are just repeating in history. Like the depression. The ones who work hard made it through why cant we make it today? There is a few differences from then to now yes but we are taking steps back there again! Only due time that it will get harder. Unless something goes right and we get our bums slightly toasted but not burnt. lol

    We kinda are going through a rough spell. It started over the winter of 2007 -2008 and things haven't improved much since then. We're at a point where money is getting harder to come by. If we can take some lessons from history it might help us get through.

    This is all pretty confusing for us old timers. The situation changed. We're pretty set in our ways. We don't adapt well to change. Our answer will be " Do more of the same ..... harder ". We will say buck up and dig your heels in !

    This really doesn't make sense because if it's unprofitable then doing "even more" will only put you deeper in the hole.

    Work smart ....not hard !

    If it's come to a point where it's not working for you anymore then have the inner strength to set it aside and move on to something that does work. Adapt or die.
