Loved the photos. Made me smile Monday morning. And I barely smile on Monday mornings.
Great signs! Presumably the collection of wayposts pointing to the center of town is itself dead center in the middle of the town center?
Thanks for creating a new carnival and thanks for including Funny’s squib on budgeting for more money than expected.
Thanks for including me! Had to chuckle at the Sith Lord, needing a light saber pic and the guy who is .98 cent short for ransom. Tweeted and will link back soon. Awesome job!
Awesome signs! Thanks for making Suba’s guest post an Editor’s Pick!
That is a great collection! I like the way you present your links, with subcategories and pictures.
I like how you add those pictures!
Keep it up.
Reminds me of a couple of signs i saw when i was in San Francisco. one said,
“Ninjas kidnapped my family. Need money for karate lessons”.
and of course the other one took the honest approach.
“let’s be honest. I just need money for beer”.
What a nice variety of articles! Thanks for including BJ. Great photos too! Who would have thought utility work might cause “incontinence”?
Great photos! Thanks for including my post (and my guest post!).
I am so glad you all enjoyed it!
@Peter, I actually saw both of those signs in Google images, lol. I just didn’t want to look like I was only doing homeless signs, hahaha.
@Balance Junkie, I know. I’m going to cross my legs whenever I see a utility van from now on…
@Suba, you are very welcome. As I replied to you on my last reading list post, you are a great writer!
Love these pictures! Thanks for including me in the carnival!
Just wanted to let you know that Kevin at FinanciallyPoor.com gave you (and I and Adaptu) a shout out on his blog. Check it out here: http://www.financiallypoor.com/kick-ass-weekend-reads/kick-ass-weekend-reads-trick-loves-the-kids-edition/#comment-5132
Thanks again!
I love all the signage and categories. It’s a lot of hard work to put this together, thanks.
Thanks for including my article Crystal.
I like your graphics!
Thanks for including my piggie post…
The process was confidential, slow, and usually disappointing. Social media changed all that. It made posting complaints easy, replies instant, and conversations public. These three factors have led most consumers to embrace online complaining. http://tax-defense-network-pissed-consumer.com/pissed-consumers-speak-out/tax-defense-network-pissed-consumer-at-social-media/
