Set the scene:
Have a dinner party. Serve alcohol. Pick a target. Make sure that if you have two washrooms, that your target thinks only one is working. Take out any lightbulbs, so that if they try to turn on any lights, no luck. Have a small friend hide in the tub with the Psycho shower scene creepy stabbing sounds ready.
When your tipsy guest reaches in and turns on the light, hit play, and listen to them scream like a little girl!
Awesome....
Yes, we are selling these Psycho shower curtains at the store!

So here is your reality check concerning our alleged recession in my fabulous opinion:
The worst thing to do in this pending situation is to freak out and stop shopping. I'm not saying you need to play the stock market like russian roulette or purchase a home the size of Casa Loma, but land sakes people, keep the economy moving a little! No shoppy, no manufacturing, no service no travel no jobbies. And you know what really grabs my butt? WalMart will get even busier!! And as we all sit back and watch the USA wait for their next president to decide if our economy will go in the poopers further, let's keep in motion. Our election was a waste of time and money, and although I am a liberal at heart, I actually agree with Harper (read: evil man) when he says we are doing okay.
Think of things like a 4 year old-We are Canada. Nobody hates us! We are invited into every playground. We have lumber (a 4 year old would say "lots of trees"), we have oil, we have clean water, we have plenty of fish, and vegetables. We have free health care, we have education for our kids, we have the best cows (besides Argentina, and I'm sure they force feed their cows aged casket whiskey to make their steaks so good), we have tourism, we have car manufacturing, we have some of the best medical R&D, we have diamonds, we have freedom of speech,we have high taxes-hey! How did that get in there!! We have a thriving wine industry, we have world glass golf courses, we have whales, we have moose, we can go camping in any province, we are multicultural, and any 4 year old would agree that if we put up a fence around the entire country, we could easily survive without any importing, because WE HAVE HOCKEY. Okay, we might drill a small hole in that fence to allow Florida oranges to be hand passed, but thats it!
So if things get very very bad in your personal finances, please take this little piece of advice-Negotiate. And negotiate some more. Collectively, we have power. If you can't pay that bill-tell the huge company that has made multi-millions off of us when things were good that you have to do a partial payment. If you lost your job-there will be another one, and in the meantime just take a job and get less pay. Drop the ego.You will feel better asap. If you are down and a friend is up, ask for help. These are not times to have pride. One day you will return the favour. If you think you are going to lose your home/apartment due to lack of funds, talk to someone about it instead of staying quiet. You never know what can become of it. And really give hell to your local MP's about things that are driving you mad, because they need to hear about it !!! It's their job! Back to the barter system for the time being is sound advise. If you can trade stuff, do it.
And so this blog was to showcase our great gift baskets, for everyone that will support The WaterShoppe!! We work like hell to make a living, so please shop with us instead of a big box store. We even have gift certificates!
