Then I give slightly more than 15% 'cause I know how it feels to be on the bottom end and how $5 can make a difference.<BR/><BR/>All said, we're hanging on and we're spending as much and as little as always for Christmas. My kids are young and life is good. As long as we're all eating, right?Woman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25500648.post-73354909499469433412008-11-24T12:26:00.000-08:002008-11-24T12:26:00.000-08:00timmy, welcome to my blogland. follow away.

I would love to go into another depression, then we'd all see that love is what really matters. I think that would be great. The jobs of the future are helping people. Oh and I love tipping big too. On Friday my English teacher and I went out to lunch to chat and left the waitress a %100 tip(bill was $45) and she came out telling us we left too much. We told her she's buying a big turkey this year. Isn't life amazing?? :]<BR/>If you don't mind i'm making you my first blog on my "Sties I Follow" list.Timmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896950920950491926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25500648.post-48715001177591321402008-11-18T22:08:00.000-08:002008-11-18T22:08:00.000-08:00I wish you the best with your new photography busi...I wish you the best with your new photography business.

All gifts must benefit the giver's heart, the giftee's needs/wants, and a third party (meaning a charitable organization, a small Mom and Pop shop, the person who handmade the gift, etc...) <BR/>It has been really fantastic to involve my daughters in this creatively.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022976523785423847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25500648.post-73426870504236654242008-11-13T08:28:00.000-08:002008-11-13T08:28:00.000-08:00I worked in the service industry for years and it ...I worked in the service industry for years and it does not matter what the economy is doing.
