When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

I've been selling stuff but there are not many buyers out there. Had a garage sale in July and made a couple hundred. You wouldn't believe the hoops you have to go through to have one in my city though. You actually have to buy specific signs and a permit. They don't allow any homemade signs and without a permit you'll get a $100 fine. It's SO lame!

I have 4 items up on Craigslist that I've been trying to sell since August. No luck. Trying still though. None of them is going to net enough to cover the outstanding bills but it would make a little dent.

I've seen that Tightwad gazette. Pretty interesting stuff!

Babysitting? UGH! I can't stand little kids. I barely tolerated my own. All my friends and family are in a horrible mess too but I'll keep looking for options.

There really is very little hope these days for most of the country isn't there? Things continue to decline, pricing on everything continues to increase drastically. Heck, my electric costs have increased 50% with NO increase in kwh useage in just the last 6 months. How dumb is that? Water has increased 100%. Again, no increase in usage.
