One positive thing about this crappy economy
   
is that I've become very good at mending and darning, remaking old clothes, and making patches for everything from bits of scrap. I haven't had anything new in a few years-everything has been made over and patched to the point of being one huge patchwork mess. Fun times, especially when I poke my finger with a needle.

Anyone else have an offhand positive?

My cat and I share the can of tuna..lol.

And I also have become skilled at darning socks.

Buy cat food, it's healthier for the cat.

14. I now wear two pairs of socks at the same time.
   
so if one has a hole in it, the other doesn't.

34. I bet we could sell a million copies
   
if it weren't for the fact that most of the people who'd want our ideas don't have the money to buy magazines.

if they knew we had another use for them.

I wonder what they did with all their free ponies??

They had to have dog and cat food didn't they?

[formerlurker]

They don't have money for magazines (which you can pretty much read all of them online now) and are sharing their tuna fish with the cat -- yet they still have internet.

Priorities people.

Let them eat skittles and unicorn meat.

I could have sworn 0bama was going to peel bills from his stash and take care of the primitives, what happened?

Well if you eat the unicorn then your skittle supply dries up.

Oh wait... these are Dummies afterall. I forgot who we were talking about.
