No problem is so big that you can't run away from it.

My friend who went through some rough financial times, was being hounded by creditors daily. Fed-up with their incessant harassment­, he posed at his own roommate and told one creditor that my friend was doing time in jail for beating up a repeated caller. I heard that the calls are few and far between now.

During a tough time, somebody told me to take one day at a time. It may sound cliche-ish­, but it did help me survive.

But then again, when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.

LOL...I think only the tough women go shopping. Men would rather watch a ball game on TV with a 12 pack of beer and some ganja (optional)­....your first fan Ms. Sandberg.
