That's my guess.


I think I read somewhere that casino business actually goes up when the economy gets bad.

Just read an article about women trying to emulate the skanks in Sex and the City by buying expensive name brand shoes at $400 to $900 a pop. If you can afford shoes that cost that much, you ain't having no recession. And you shouldn't whine about gas prices, either.


That's the trouble, Kissed. They CAN'T afford it. I worked with an idiot who bought those expensive shoes on credit and then when she ran up $20,000, declared bankruptcy. But not before running out and buying 2 more pairs for the road.
