[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 156942, member: 84"] Abbey You are so right. Currently husband and I are so so inbetweeners. If something doesn't happen with these gas prices soon, we're going to take a plunge. :pouting: What saddened me the most was that this woman has 3 grown children. Why couldn't she sleep on a couch and chip in to pay her share with one of them?? I mean, c'mon, this woman gave [B]birth[/B] to you! Sad, cuz the way things are going we're going to be seeing alot more of this. I've shut off the cable many times. Done without a phone too. Even did a stent without car insurance, although it scared the begeebies outta me, but there just wasn't enough money to spread around. We got a notice for shut off on our electric the other day. I went down to pay the bill, found ALOT of other people there, many senior citizens, doing the same thing. Nice older lady infront of me told me to hold my head up high "Nothing to be ashamed of, we're all in the same boat." We were the ones who had money to pay, even if it was late. I wonder how many more didn't. This is a very poor county. As for the lady's pets......Well, our Betsy and Bruce might adjust to new homes. They're both young enough. But neither Molly or Rowdy would go with anyone, and I'd never have the heart to make them. As it is their diet of dog food is being supplimented by table scraps because the thought of wasting any food right now to me is awful. [/QUOTE]
