I'm not a prom photographer, but some of my income depends on people's choice of how to use their discretionary income!. Let's just say they don't have any and they are cutting back!. Most "spare" money is going into the gas tank!. With a tank of gas costing $30-40 for most vehicles (and WAY more for others), some people tell me that they are losing money driving to work!. I know that's not true, but you get what I mean!.

I had one guy in yesterday morning who drills wells (water) and does repairs on all related equipment!. He has had the business for about 30 years and his dad had it for 30 years before that!. He was always so busy he had to turn away work!. On Friday, he had not received ONE SINGLE call for any well work or repair work!. Not one call all week!. He said that people are actually DOING WITHOUT WATER because they can't afford to get their pumps repaired or replaced!. I asked how in the world they can do that and he said that they drink bottled water, take showers at family members houses, and go to the laundromat!. This tells me that money is really tight this year!.

And!.!.!. There are so many people who have come here to learn how to get "perfesshunal resultz" with their point and shoot cameras, that it's no surprise business is down!. Can you get those nice washed out emo results with your level of experience anyhow!?!?!? It's wut the kidz all want theez dayz!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
