To those like me who really ARE too poor to afford a star ( GAWD WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM WHO DON'T HAVE ANY CONCEPT OF POVERTY???????? okay ranting over... )
to those like me, you have a reason not an excuse, and you should not feel humiliated or bullied by onehandle.
Star or no star, I appreciate all who contribute here.
Well, almost all.

Now attack me for 'assuming' that everyone has a sofa.

Some people have a lot to deal with; I prefer not to hear some people tell other people what their priorities should be.
The dollar you scrounge out of your sofa cushions may be spending money to you; to someone else, it will buy a box of macaroni and cheese for their kid.
Some people don't have checking accounts, ATM cards or credit cards. It's actually true, as unbelievable as that may seem to you.
Of course you can sit on a high horse if you wish; but those walking don't need your scorn.
