2008 has been a very hard year for me. I lost my job and my Dad this year. Nearly lost my Father-in-law. Found a sister I didn't even know I have. The Cowboys making the playoffs and going somewhere would sure do a lot to end it on a positive note for me. I've needed this forum this year as opposed to simply enjoying it here with all of you 8 balls.
Wow, man, that is pretty bad year for anyone man. Hope you have found a new job by now man, if the Job loss wasn't too recent.
On death front, lost couple of grand Uncles myself, pretty close one, one of them. Seems like these deaths come in bunches or pretty close to each other.
But I guess Job losses seem to be widespread. And I can empathize needing this forum, during Job losses etc. Since I needed it during my down year in 2002, for first time in life looking for a job and not getting one for 2-3 months. One the reasons I left Detroit/Michigan for good in 2004 was that I saw that economy only heading downhill since 2001. And I just got out in the nick of time.
Cowboys started this year with a downer for me really, with loss in playoffs. And has been up and down since then. Lets hope they end in positive note and begin with a positive note (i.e. if they make playoffs, win one in new year).
