Son loves to keep up on what's going on around the world and passes along some very disturbing tid bits....He does computer work for the military, etc. and has access to things before they are made public at times..I'm sure if he told me EVERYthing that he learns I'd be upset all the time....He SAW a 6 dollar jump on the dog food he uses while stocking up at Wal Mart.....Already things were unbelievably expensive....now...I don't see how folks with big families can make it....The 300 to 600 dollars promised by the Government in May will disappear in a flash.......I don't usually file taxes, but will this year...Getting it done free ..A couple different groups do that, but the AARP over at the Senior Center are already booked up till the sign up is over...Remember, YOU can get it if you file, whether you have enough income to qualify on a regular basis.... One bright note..if dog food goes up that much, maybe some of the folks in our neighborhood will get rid of those big, BARKING dogs......Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:56:58 -0500 Judy Arnold <judith@omuonline.net> writes: > Is your son an importer or what does he do, Jeannie? > I agree with you that we had better start watching out > for ourselves and quit depending on other countries > so totally.. > Judy > >
