Crisis for some...

Okay, I have now officially been awakened from my lazy, "everything's great" attitude, as I'm sure have many of you... I'm more interested in politics than ever before in my life- I'm more concerned for my family's future than ever before as well. I found it interesting that while listening to our Prophet's council just recently, I felt prompted that hard times are coming...

So, I've been stocking up on just about everything I can think of (just in case)...
Today, I went over to the mall to browse the clearance racks for the boys '09 summer clothes. While I was there, I found out that Mervyns is going out of business. (where have I been, under a rock?)

Bad News: It really adds another damper on the economy... Merry Christmas, Mervyn's Employees. Did you know that according to the US Department of Labor, "there are currently over 15 million people working retail jobs across the country," not that I'm saying they're all working at Mervyn's obviously, but still!

GOOD NEWS: In situations like these, I figure it's good to try to be somewhat optimistic, so here it is: Next week is the biggest sale they'll do before the company goes to the liquidators. That can be really good news for those of us with growing kiddies! Get their next ten year's clothing supply for going-out-of-business-dirt-cheap!
