[QUOTE="Genny, post: 156399, member: 95"] This is sad, but I also see JoG's point. There was an article in the local paper this morning about the increase in homes having their power shut off due to inability to pay. One of the local power companies realized that some people would pay their cable bill first, because the cable company cuts you off after your account is 60 days past due, while the electric company gives you 90 days. They noted that cable tv isn't much good if you don't have electricity. My first though was , "Why do you HAVE cable if you can't afford to pay your power bill?!" husband and I lived years without cable - some of those years it was a choice, but most of the time it was because [I]we couldn't afford it[/I]...a concept that seems lost on many people.
