Haven't been posting for various reasons, but the biggest reason is that my computer's motherboard is not working :( I have to share a computer, which is ok in itself, but then I can't add any pictures I might take with my handy phone, and somehow, I miss mine--boo hoo.

Since that is my husband's main interest and the source of our incomes--now that he is retired--that naturally there is a great deal of talk about it in our house. Has the financial downturn affected any of you?
I think this crisis is affecting most parts of the world. I am concerned about my family because in my country the currency is the dollar, yeah, I know, great timing right? :( So I guess this crisis will particulary affect El Salvador...I wish I was wrong though.
