lol...nope can't imagine what that must be like. my family of four doesn't spend that much on clothes in a year!

LOL Dano. Would dressing in a house qualify?

Dano..
Girl, I looked at that site.. I am pretty sure I could git us all a whole lot more memorable frocks and pay for us to take a pretty rockin road trip!
Love you more than bunnies in teacups,

Merelyme~Lovie, I've been on SSDI for the past nine years, because I'm fruit loops. I worked as a union scenic artist on a lot of films, so I get a lot from them. Once I spent down every penny I had in savings.

This year, it went up to $800 a month. Oh, I write under a nom de plume, to protect my mother, so you won't see my name in credits. But trust me, it's there.

They send a form often, for Cricket, my "Representative Payee" to fill out. One question: How much have you managed to save this year? Crikey, if it weren't for her, I'd be homeless or in a State Hospital.

I started to return to work this year, for myself. I've become sick and burned out, even though I set my own few hours.

Immi~Like window dressings? We've had a construction site on our ground floor for years, which eventually will become a kitchen.

As we lucked into this massive "habitable shell", our temporary kitchen is on the Mezzazine. We have a double hot-plate and a toaster oven, which can't be run at the same time.

I'm sure we could re-do the whole ground floor, even removing the lead paint and wall-paper that covers the walls, ceiling and crown moldings! But I could be wrong. I've never handled much money, and the money I had, well, I never handled it!

Eve~I could buy you a new trailer addition and have change for a Prius. That woman needs to smacked. In the meantime, I love you more than a box of fluffies, sister.
