I'm going to a trade show during the week; thought I'd look it up and confirm the times. It's on, I've registered so let's hope it might be productive.

I also noticed this. Grim. Or darkly comic. (Not the show I'm going to by the way)



Businesses shutting up shop, banks closing their doors, premises boarded up; it's going to be a cold winter  cry:

True. I'm very determined to be one of the latter ~ not at your expense, obviously. In fact, forget the lining of the pocket; I'd be content with enough to put in it  confused:

I started my first business on June 1st 1990... There are great opportunities in times of hardship if you are willing to grab them...  ;)

However, I was more thinking of the market speculators that got us into this mess in the first place...  cussing:

Self sufficiency is not such a silly an idea now and if you can make a cash profit as well you know it makes sense.
