You're so right. Tenants in NY are offering to paint, sweep side walk clean yards for decrease in rent as reported in New York Times. A tree cutter can gave discounts to if they find neighbors in a one block radius that need pruning. Same goes for masonry work.

neighbor threw tons of books in recycling instead of donating them to a school, senior center, used bookstore...What wasn't damaged by rain I saved. Found some neat books. I read two already.

Yahoo for thrift stores, mistressbinky! I've shopped t-stores nearly my entire life. It's tougher now than it used to be but good buys can still be had! I love knowing my entire outfit cost only $20

Call stock brokers and have 401 and 403 placed on fixed rate so they don't lose your money playing the stock market.

Hey Natalie (smiles), Nokia a European cell phone Company is now outsourcing to China. Now people in Switzerland are out of jobs. Now it's going to be tough find things made in Europe and US. I found some towels and sheets made in U.S. Anyone interested I'll post the link. Bought a new mattress made in use of wool w/natural rubber (breaths and doesn't attract dust mites.

Let's help the protesters on Wall Street and boycott Christmas, Thanksgiving, & New Years. Make your Christmas gifts or just have fun with dinner with games you already have (board games, not electronic), have a simple dinner w/ love ones on Thanksgiving, and stay home New Year's Eve (no bar hoping). The Pilgrims killed the Indians and took their land. By the way, there was no turkey on Thanksgiving it was pheasant. There was no pie since pilgrims' flour fell overboard while sailing to the New Land. Have a quiet family dinner w/o the splurging since everyone is off that day. The boycott is about those that run the CEOs that are making $400,000. It's about the layoffs, mortgage foreclosures, high bank fees.... Do you really need cable? Read a book, rent a movie. Do you really need the newest iPhone, iPad? I shop at thrift stores and if I could make my underwear I would do so (I can, but it tedious).

LOL. I love the fact that a Libertarian friend of mine is up in arms over Occupy America being a socialist plot. He fails to see while a "free market" isn't bad there is no way one can exist in this day and age. Why because the Megacorps who control the government stifle the free market as much as the government if not more. Look at the diabetes supply market how many pumps are not only stuck in testing but as these start ups run out of money are being brought up by the likes of Medtronic and J&J with their product never to be seen again(solo pump anyone). I have no desire for a hand out but do have a desire to afford to live as healthy as I can be, with out worrying about how to feed and shelter my family. While I value education I feel college has become a trap of debt most of all when I work side by side with people with a degree that guess what can't find a job in their chosen field and are a 100k in debt..

We are seeing the start of something that may be great and not only change the now, more importantly it may change the future.
