I just couldn't help it

I am like an addict...I was off the political "junk" for a good long while but I can't help but comment on this.

An 87-Year-Old's Economic Survival Guide

by  Chuck Norris

An old Spanish proverb says, "An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy." I believe that value holds, in or out of a recession. And seeing as my 87-year-old mother lived through the Great Depression, I think her value (and that of those like her) will increase through these tough economic times because her insider wisdom can help us all.
