Every year my husband and I "adopt" a family and buy them food & gifts for Christmas. This year was the largest listing I had ever seen, we must have had 50 families to choose from. <BR/><BR/>Sadly the animal shelters are filling up with folks who can no longer afford their pets. I've been getting calls to see if I can take anymore in, including three calls about horses. <BR/><BR/>Nice post Ken.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177123397341454032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240652707324624619.post-10964856309855691812008-12-05T05:20:00.000-05:002008-12-05T05:20:00.000-05:00Many, many areas of the economy are being affected...Many, many areas of the economy are being affected by what is going on sadly.

Frankly, I never even realized that babies from birth to about 8 months shouldn't have any extra water in their diets. And how sad that parents have to dillute their formula because they can't afford the full-strength stuff. Thanks for reminding us all to give, give, give this year. There are so many in need!Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664721949113509873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240652707324624619.post-10961546912315048122008-12-04T12:54:00.000-05:002008-12-04T12:54:00.000-05:00Ken, I have seen the impact on business by how thi...Ken, I have seen the impact on business by how things are reported and especially in the squeezing this way and that of graphs. Attempts to show economic, or any other, conditions by graphic means can be misleading if the graphs aren't realistically done. The same figures can be shown to look horrendous or unimportant depending on how they are displayed.DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144446186279708019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240652707324624619.post-60692232560249104142008-12-04T08:02:00.000-05:002008-12-04T08:02:00.000-05:00Everytime I go out to shop I do something for othe...Everytime I go out to shop I do something for others.

I've been watching how one company is intertwined with others - directly and indirectly. Or in other words the domino effect. I'm going to have to dig deep to contribute to the food bank and that might have to be the extent of my giving this year. It's already been agreed with the immediate family that we wouldn't exchange gifts, we want to pull our money together and go visit my son and his children in April. I know many who gave to several charities are having to select one to give to instead of all as they had in the past. Okay, that's enough of my gibbering.<BR/><BR/>MonicaMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840809036588436520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240652707324624619.post-75467769348661598432008-12-03T23:00:00.000-05:002008-12-03T23:00:00.000-05:00Hi Bucko,It just goes to show how tenuous everythi...Hi Bucko,<BR/>It just goes to show how tenuous everything is these days ... it doesn't take much to send a company's stock into a nosedive.
