Imagine the fascination watching someone go over Niagara Falls in barrel

Now imagine it is your barrel.

And you're in it.

That's how I feel.

I'm expecting a bad headache.

Our retirement savings have been nearly wiped out. Our house is worth 1/3 less than it was 2 years ago. My husband's company was bought up by HP, and his days are numbered, we just don't know what that number is yet. We won't be able to get health insurance.

Doesn't matter much, I guess. We always told the kids we wouldn't be leaving anything behind. I just didn't think it would end up this way. Now the goal will be not to drag them down with us.

I am considering implementing Plan B, when the time comes. It involves the 3 strike law. The tricky part will be not getting caught the first 2 times, while leaving behind enough evidence that strike 3 will be a slam dunk for even the most inept prosecutor.
