Chicken Little Syndrome
Now, this may sound a little mean....but the "sky is NOT falling."
I have noticed that it seems like Wisconsin is definitely a "worse case scenario" type of state. For example--the economy. Yes, it is in the toilet, but do we have be asked in EVERY conversation if our job is secure? It's crazy. I am an upbeat, optimistic person. I figure that I am well prepared if anything happens and will handle it if/when it arrives. I don't like to go around thinking every minute that something bad lurking around the corner. Now I know why I have affectionately given the hubby the nickname, Eor. I just have to chuckle. I am hoping that my optimism will rub off. Might be a little naive of me, given that people here have probably been this way most of their lives. However, I will continue to be optimistic about things. Naysayers beware!

That's such a WI thing, especially in the northeast part of the state (which is where I think you are).
Yeah, fivetomatoes--it is sort of funny. I have to laugh when I hear someone fear the worse. What gets me is that people think that I am horrible for not feeling the same way. I just take things as they come I guess. Hehe.....
The logic behind it is that it's better to be prepared for the worst and be pleasantly surprised when something better comes along than anything else.
Though, having watched my parents at a rummage sale, I have to admit that the frugality is more than a little crazy.
