enonomy getting better? for who?
gas went up again $2.19/gal - 10-cents in a week

just called to order heating oil - $2.13 a gallon -- ordered 150 gallons, total cost $319.00 -- going to take about 2 months to pay it off - hope the oil lasts that long, and I'm dreading seeing what it will cost us in February

glad we are supplementing heating the house with a wood stove. We put up 6 cords of wood, down to 4 cords now - hope it lasts, we average about a cord a month. Will probably order another cord of wood this weekend as a buffer

word from headquarters at work - no X-MASS bonuses this year - bigwig told us our bonus was that the doors didn't close

I've been working 10-15hrs overtime, and my partner and I are both looking for 2nd jobs

when are we going to stop being TINKLED ON and see some of that trickle down?

don't know about you - but I've had enough

2. Most of the wealthy are sponges
More than capable of soaking up any extra money that could eventually trickle down to you or me. Kind of sad really.

3. Hugs for you, Radfringe
:hug: I hope the oil lasts like you need it to... I agree, things are not really getting better for the vast majority of people :(

I'm just glad we do have the wood stove. It helps stretch the heating oil alot.
