    A Hobo Wedding

    Interesting. We've got some older, single ladies who are 19th century enthusiasts here, some with old fashioned sensibilities, but I don't think any of them are so backwards as to use the label "old maid." :rolleyes:

    A Hobo Wedding

    You are offended by people who are offended and take it a step further and want to silence them with a smack. Now THAT'S kooky!

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    Talk of doomsday and people looting neighbors who have what they need reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode "The Shelter." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734676/

    It's like kids who think it's cool to be "ghetto" yet they live in a posh suburb.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    I'm watching the Dow take a tumble right now and I just feel uneasy in general about the state of the world economy despite being smart with my money.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    Interesting, because recently on the etsy.com blog they featured a "Hobo Chic" wedding that cost $15k, I believe.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    But back then, if I'm not mistaken, the middle class household could be supported with one working parent whereas now it's nearly impossible to afford to raise a family on one salary unless it's a generous one.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    We'd have many more homeless and hungry people if it wasn't for credit cards which helped get us in this mess in the first place (credit in general).
