I know what you mean, a lot of people have taken so much for granted that we do need a little straightening out. I don't think people on these boards are as bad because we are mostly here to save a conserve and live a simpler life, but most of our neighbors and friends aren't.


I am just starting to worry, we have been hearing about lay offs and some of the upper management where DH works have been laid off. DH could get laid off this winter for the first time for that since I stopped working 7 years ago. If he does we will have it pretty rough if it lasts for too long, we're prepared for a couple of months, but 4 or 5 could really hurt.

The first thing I thought of when I heard this news was soup lines to tell the truth.
