The KACHING Meter for October 17, 2008:  3.1 -- almost the bare minimum

One word, spelled out, describes this week:  O-U-C-H

My luck must have been the stock market in disguise.......when it went down like it did, so did my luck on scratchers.

Work has been.......the usual.  Life has been........the usual.  Miss Kitty has been......the usual (her lazy self ).  That's about it.

Until next time, may your luck be a lot better than mine.
