your predictions for 2009

Published Dec 31, 2008

Happy New Year GOLO!

With 2009 right around the corner, let's make some predictions that we can come back and revisit this time next year next. 

You pick the topic. The economy, politics, crime, education, a lottery win, GOLO...anything you wish. So go for it. 

I will post the predictions one year from today so we can see how many came true.

 

I predict that we will have 20,000 GOLO profiles and SueDonym will still be the top GOLO poster of all time! I also predict that three major newspapers will close up shop and become online only.

 

What's your 2009 prediction?

Okay Gina. You'll have to let us know if you do so we can say you were right this time next year.

Angela, I havent seen them back yet, but I figured with the tights and long sweaters coming back, then leg warmers would be next. Maybe even stirip [sp] pants in 2010. I used to rock my leg warmers and big sweaters bag in elementry school too! And, I always had a big matching hair bow barret too!

I predict the DJIA will surge above 11,000 before the end of 2009. and thats a bold prediction!

1) Gas will hit above $3 again around late spring

2) My company will send more work overseas(Please God, don't let this happen)

3)No executions will be carried out in 2009 (stupid)

4) I will be the LAST person in the US to get my stimulus check. (LOL)

2

I predict that consignment businesses will boom and many businesses will continue to go down. People will tune to family and religion more, and a new religious nut will surface and make headlines. I also would like to predict that my books will come out and be a success worldwide, but that's more of a dream, so I don't think it fits in the category of predictions. LOL

I predict the Buffalo Bills will have another rebuilding season :)

Duly noted Jolly and 39.

I see who my friends are. lol

I also predict that there will be some sort of BIG scandle in one of our states school boards.

I am comprising these in a list form and will post it tomorrow. So keep it coming. It's getting pretty interesting.

I predict that the Panthers will win the Superbowl.

Oh one more! I predict the Panthers will make it to the NFC Championship...and I'm hoping for a Super Bowl bid!

I love you Gina! We gotta have faith!

Although I'm a republican, I foresee Obama removing all the trash within our government.

School lunches will rise above $2.50 per child. It is already in the making in Wayne County....

I also hate to be pessimistic, but I predict another rap star will be murdered.

I will get busted for being on GOLO at work.

LOL @ 39.

I predict Gandalf will be promoted several times and Steve Crisp will insult virtually everyone who disagrees with him!

I also predict that ConAmor will get pregnant!

I will get busted for being on GOLO at work. Click to view my profile 39 going on 26

been there done that.

Angela, I seriously think that prediction about the 3 major newspapers closing shop and becoming online only is a very bold statement and I wouldn't argue with you what so ever on it.

Sandra, can you predict that my novel will find a publisher?

I predict 2009 will be a better year.

Hubby has been on temp layoff on and off and just got a call for a long term assignment starting Monday. Bad news is that is is in RTP. Commute time will be killer.

I predict that *I* will become pregnant.

More and more libraries will become desolate.

I predict Spunky will beat her Breast Cancer and it will be in remission by the end of the year.

I also predict Sessy will get a second dog!

Sheba, I didn't know you had written a novel!

I predict GOLO will continue to grow. During the year (some) people will realize that there are those on GOLO who are "real" people and as such actually have jobs, families, pets, interactions with people other than on GOLO and as such sometimes have valid and interesting viewpoints. And I predict that future GOLO get-togethers will rotate on food based focus...perhaps Mexican cuisine, then Italian, then French, then German,then Thai...the possibilities are endless.

I agree with you 39, with the internet people just don't go to libraries anymore. I still go when there's a new book written by E Lynn Harris, my favorite author.

I predict that the Tarheels will win another national title in basketball! They better

Who was it here in Golo that always used to "gaze into their crystal ball?"

I predict I will have a baby. And I am predicting a girl.

i predict that corporate and personal bankruptcy will increase substantially between now and may. layoffs will be on the rise, and this will result in additional foreclosures and credit issues as well as creating a further drag on the economy. i believe this iterative decline will continue for at least the first two quarters of 2009, most likely through the first three quarters. We will enter into a prolonged economic trough beginning around september of 2009.

Sorry Mestarr but Davidson will win the national title, lol.

I predict Jolly will be correct in his predictions and I also predict torchie will continue to find my blogs and comments on criminals hitting just a little too close to home!

I predict that the Detroit Lions will have the cheerleaders in pads in Spring training.

torchie? As in the hypocrisy blog that vanished yesterday?

I predict I will win the lottery, marry a stripper named "Diamond" and buy a house in the Bahamas. Shortly after doing this, I'll get hooked on drugs, become impotent, and be bankrupt by mid year. I'll then rob a bank, get caught, escape and become a slave in the underground sex trade- being force to half freaknasty time with overweight women. But 2010 is looking better!

I predict that Brittany Spears will do something stupid.

Jeff Gordon will actually win a race in 2009! You heard it here first!

I predict by March 31 GM will be down to only 4 divisions and I will be unemployed.

5 or more teachers will lose their job for sleeping with a student.

GGT, I almost spit out my tea! ROF

ok...who the hell is torchie?

moderating will only get worse, posters will have to pay to post !st and 2nd amendments will become severely limited by congress, the Fairness Doctrine will be reinstituted. Gas tax caps both state and federal will be lifted. Federal gun control laws, better buy 'em now. The automakers bailout won't work and congress will try again with more money.

Hopefully bailouts are done and over with. Unless of course I can get a couple million or even a few hundred thousand.

My property taxes WILL NOT get paid in August when they send the statement......never does. lol

39, ours either.

Right now I predict I need to go out and help cut up a doe and ice it.

Oh, and I predict the dogs are going crazy smelling it.

I will smoke and drink more due to economy and my son going off to college.....((((eyes watering up)))

I predict that all the wonderful people in here that have lost their jobs like me will find a new position with the new year. Hopefully by end of January.
