    Time to start looting the office! Start small and on your last day anything is fair game. It might not get you any financial gain but it'll make you feel better.

    I'm sick hearing about the recession too but as it's on, nobody is doing anything fun. Viscious cycle really. (mental note: go for a viscious cycle instead of thinking about the recession)

    My ex boyfriends new girlfriend spent her entire Valentines night texting and calling me (abusively). I, on the other hand had a great night out with the girls!

    Three old men were sitting on a park bench comparing notes on the problems of growing old.

    The first said he couldn't remember the last time he had a good bowel movement.

    The second one said his problem was more with his bladder and prostate.

    The third old man laughed and said he must be the lucky one. "Every morning at seven I pee, and then at eight I have a good dump," he told them. " I just wish I could wake up before nine."

    .

    Remember in these hard times, your health is your wealth. You're young and can take it all on the chin


    Being poor sucks, but, you still have your own teeth ;)

    As a previous poster so eloquently stated - psycho alert!
