Cutting The Fat

Netflix is cancelled.

DVR is gone. Cable is gone.

We're filing for WIC. We've contacted the mortgage company. We're meeting with a lawyer about health insurance.

Jobs have been searched and some have been applied to.

Sure it's been busy, but the best part? It's a Wednesday afternoon and Joel, Sophia and I got to go take a walk. Together.

Alisa looked into what would happen if we had to get on food stamps a while back when we thought the pool industry would tank. We'd get several hundred more a month than what we currently budget for and spend.

I think you'd qualify for COBRA insurance, but it'd be pricey.

How long can he get unemployment?

Remember, you guys are the real reason all these assistance programs exist. Not the folks who make a career out of living on the government teat from cradle to grave. Stay strong and remember, if all else fails you probably just need MORE COWBELL!!!!

Glad you're taking advantage of our welfare systems! They've really helped out our staff members who are currently w/o full-time jobs. Definitely look into food stamps. Only, in MO you can't buy rotisserie chickens with them, or toilet paper. Geesh.

Oh - and get rid of the TV completely, turn the AC up to 76, cancel the land line, shower every other day, wash clothes only on cold, and you're livin' like a Chiltin' :)

(and trust me - the TV decision is NOT by choice, but it's been much easier than expected)
