As the economy is getting worse, with the ever falling markets followed by lay-offs and bankrupcies people are sending less and less on convenient atributes such as traveling during the holidays or reducing the number of shoppingspreas per week. That’s right folks, the bad state of the ecenomy has arrived and is, for sure, here to stay. (What I do find interesting and annoying is that the dollar has actually gotten stronger on the world market och money exchange. Why is that?)

The other day, I read in the newspaper about a survey on the streets of Manhattan. People were asked what they would/will most likely cut down on during the upcoming holidays in the state of recession. Some people said thing that I was totally expecting such as traveling less, buying less christmaspresents, or even work as much as possible to not miss an opportunity for money. There was this one guy that really made me laught. He said that him and his friends, at thanksgiving, would not eat turkey but switch to shrimp instead a that is cheaper these days. What is up with that? That’s so not right!!!

As a vegetarian, I don’t really understand or care about turkey at thanksgiving but if you’re not going to have turkey you certainly can’t have shrimp. You don’t do that to the holy thanksgiving turkey, you just don’t! You could simply say that it’s all or nothing! But I will say like Pheobe in Friends, that a turkey is a beautiful, intelligent animal and not a stupid, tasty one… but you are more than welcome to disagree

Here are some turkey trivia for you to enjoy:
