Alcohol online.



Lol cats provides me with all the Wall Street humor I care to have. So, I am usually far too lazy and self-absorbed care or think about the DOW and our impending finiancial crisis, but its all over my homepage, therefore (such as-- haha, ramie) in my life. The middle-aged men with their heads in their hands are really starting to freak me out.


AOL had a little segment on how to save money, so in my old men crying-induced panic I click on it. It was so disheartening. I do alll of those things: home pedicures (yeah, or slapping on some paint to the toes), forgoeing the gym (obvs.), get rid of landlines (I haven't had one of these since 1999), limit trips to the ATM (i never go to them since I can't be trusted), buy generic grocery brands (i do this, and barely eat), get a library card (do my friends count as the public library?) etc. AOL is stupid, I have been living like there is a financial crisis my entire life.



But the thing I found bizzare, instead of saying how to cut electricity costs or use disposable diapers, AOL new source offers this, the best advice ever:











Pre-Game
The markup on alcohol at a restaurant or bar is easily 100% more than the retail price at a liquor store. Next Saturday night when you plan on going out, first have a little cocktail party at your house to help limit how much you spend at the bars. And of course, drink responsibly.

I try—very hard, mind you—not to like LOL cats. But I can't. I just can't not like them. They're just too damn adorable.
