Hi Virgil,

It is $14,400 a year. That wasn't even good money 20 years ago. Maybe in

some backwater where you can pay your doctor in chickens, but I live in

Sarasota FL. Hamburger here is $3.99 a pound!

Why don't I just eat bread and cereal? I would but the diabetes NAZIS

keep telling me I have to eat meat. Then the cholesterol NAZIS tell me

to *not* eat meat.

My big expenses right now are maintaining my home. Seems that everything

is falling apart at once. I need to replace the AC and it is $6K. I put

in a window unit as a stopgap for $100 but the condo NAZIS are having a

fit over it.

Then I need a bathtub which I haven't even priced, but I know damned

well I can't afford it. If I were to try to put it in myself the condo

NAZIS would raise hell over that. Then all the flooring is 40 years old

and has to be replaced, then . . .
