I am a local and find this whole thing to be a little ridiculous. I think before anyone cries for help they cut costs where possible, in this case it would be working the business themselves. Another way is to have spouse actually get a full time job to help with other living expenses that would leave the store income to pay for store expenses. How about being honest about the amount of time the owners actually do spend there! why in this predicament do they still have employees? If money is so tight why is large sums of money being spent at other local establishments on lottery tickets? There are people out there that have lost their jobs of no doing of their own that are losing their homes, why is noone picking up them???? there are so many ways this business could have made it if only ambition was involved.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Cancer

Someone dear to your heart isn't exactly a barrel of laughs today, are they? Is it your imagination or are they taking a perverse delight in spreading doom and gloom in all directions? If they've got good reason to be miserable then they deserve your sympathy, but even so it may not last for long. Try to keep active and cheerful, otherwise you'll also develop a tendency to brood.
