I do agree, but I'm not on so many lists anymore so it doesn't bother me. 
I'm still waiting to see how Wall St.'s problems are going to affect me. I 
have the same income and outgo that I've always had. Food in the supermarket 
seems cheaper than it's been...lots and lots of 'specials' at low prices. I 
started buying them in bulk, but my pantry is full and things are still on 
'special'.

My electric rate has gone up a bit, so I've gotten more obsessive about 
turning things off when they aren't in use (a losing battle with 2 teenagers 
in the house). Otherwise, life is the same as it's been for several years. 
My son gets his driving learner's permit this month (and I get to put him on 
my insurance...hope his father helps pay for that).

Still can't find a job (nothing new there), so I'll just plant a bigger 
garden instead.
