As much as I love them, I can't afford them right now, because with my husband's part-time, $7.50 per hour job, we need every penny we can get. But still, even then, I think we are better off than some, because we already were thrifty before our money got tight, we already shopped yardsales and grew jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28932372.post-21902119460810789602009-06-17T17:26:19.219-05:002009-06-17T17:26:19.219-05:00Kati-

Mostly old clothes and junk, but still, I feel bad thinking of these folks spending all day trying to sell their few items for the cash. Makes me wonder how desperate things are for them.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807732436038472698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28932372.post-86408012540119676742009-06-15T14:10:20.768-05:002009-06-15T14:10:20.768-05:00It's scary, how much this feels like reading s...It's scary, how much this feels like reading stories of the great depression of the 30's, and the families evicted from their homes..... And yet, it's happening RIGHT NOW, not just stories from 80 years ago. And still, we're being told that the economy is on the mend, things are improving, the financial concerns are winding down and business is picking back up. For whom???

In fact, I tend to get emotional when I go to them. All the various items laid out were part of the history of some family and, now that the patriarch or matriarch has passed on, this couch or book or cake pan is passing from the family itself. And that always makes me a tad bit sad -- sometimes to the point that I get misty-eyed.<br /The Rambling Taoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730292897416827840noreply@blogger.com
