the very least. I'm quite poor. The super-brief explanation
(probably the best, here) is that I live with my disabled mother
-- in return for helping her with what she needs, I'm provided
with a home and food and all that good stuff. Unfortunately, her
check is only about $1k/mo -- she made the "mistake" of being
mostly self-employed during her ~55 years of being a working
person (that sort of thing screws you over if you get disabled,
apparently). So we're technically in the black, but only just
barely. I really don't know how she does it -- but finances are
total wizardry to me, to begin with...<br>

list (depending on what time of year it is) -- since it's well
past June, it'll be on my Christmas list this year. *shrug* it's
just how it goes. It's hard, but what choice do I have?<br>

Justin, I'm not complaining or anything but I am a little confused
-- I wasn't on the list last year! I joined like less than a month
ago...<br>
