Times are tough in your town when there's a cardboard shortage. Most everyone has made a crudely lettered "Will Work for Food" sign and they're fighting for the prime curbside real estate at major intersections.

I have to add this and I swear this is the truth:

- When you have three cats and all of them are on prozac! I give them each a 1/4 tab every morning in a pill pocket.

~ Tooth Fairy is pinching pennies -

A recent survey found that the national going rate has seen a 40-cent decline this year: From $3 to $2.60. What’s worse? A full 10 percent of kids are reaching under their pillows ... and coming up empty. Compare that to last year when just 6 percent of kids found no reason to flash that toothless grin.

Great stuff! Glad you gave it some attention, Pam.

This really reminds me of the old Johnny Carson bit.

JOHNNY CARSON: The economy is SOOOOO BAD...
ED MCMAHON: Really? How bad is it?
JOHNNY: It's so bad that at the all-you-can-eat buffet in downtown Burbank you take a single bite and they respond "That's all you can eat!" (just made that one up, but that is the type of stuff he used to say back in the day)
