And now, for something completely different. . .

I've been having issues lately. But who hasn't? With the economy is such a sorry state, making ends meet is very difficult -- and I'm in a pretty good income bracket. But we're still living paycheck to paycheck. I can't imagine how people can make ends meet, living in apartments or houses on paychecks smaller than ours. I know a lot of people do -- many at the company I work for. It's a sad commentary when there is no longer a comfort zone for anyone who works hard, pays their bills and can barely scrape enough to put food on the table. Where are we going in the country? Will things ever turn around? I'm afraid that this economic stagnation will only continue. I only hope it doesn't get worse.
