I don't have hot water right now because I can take tepid showers in the evening because it's so freaking hot here, and I wash my laundry in cold water. Paying for gas for one HOT shower a day just seems like a waste. To wash dishes, I just heat up a kettle.

I'm still paying my deductible and co-pay for gall bladder surgery that I had 18 months ago, but I figure they can't put my gall bladder back in, ya know? So they can wait. They already got $8K from my insurance anyway.

I haven't had a vacation is 2 years.

But I know that when the economy sucks, the charities get hit even harder than the rest of us. This felt right, so I did it.
