YELLOW CHIPPEROON
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who lives to shop, because that's all there is to life, really, that's it.... shop... life... the two are one and the same. Family and friends always look to you to brighten their days with your cheery smile. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time flipping through mail order catalogs trying to buy either a country wreathe or galvanized steel storage shelves. Be on the lookout for cardboard boxes. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter F, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 794782. Your preferred shopping venue is shopping malls. Your special symbol is the asterisk (*).
Is this You?
As a Yellow Chipperoon, you are happy, happy, happy. You enjoy everything about life and about shopping. You love shopping. You love buying. You love spending. You love to compare products and prices. You love the crowds. You love chatting with the store clerks. You love every bit of the buying process. Nothing dissuades you from having a good time shopping, whether you're buying a box of facial tissues or a new house. Does it get any better than spending an afternoon at the shopping mall? No way!
This isn't me! What am I?

DERIVATION, CONSUMPTION LINE A consumption line, a graphical depiction of the relation between household sector consumption and income, can be derived from a simple consumption schedule, a table or chart showing the relation between household sector consumption and income. This is easily accomplished by plotting the consumption-income pairs from the schedule as points in a diagram that measures consumption on the vertical axis and income on the horizontal axis, then connection the points with a line. The consumption line can also be derived directly by plotting the consumption function using slope and intercept values.

The Wide, Wide World Of FOREIGN TRADETwo blocks directly south of the Mega-Mart Discount Emporium we'll find that Natural Ned's Nursery and Garden Center is having a grand opening celebration. I'd like to saunter over to check out their sundials -- a valuable, and long sought after acquisition for my backyard garden. In fact, Natural Ned's Nursery and Garden Center has a new shipment of sundials imported from the sundial capital of the world -- the Republic of Northwest Queoldiola. If I'm going to get a sundial, I should get the best, right? Northwest Queoldiola produces the finest, least expensive, and most technologically advanced sundials in the world. However, Mega-Mart Discount Warehouse Super Center has an ample supply of good old American-made sundials. They're a little more expensive and not quite as good, but they're made in the U. S. of A. by good old Americans. What a dilemma!
