The new stuff around here isn't exciting, but maybe that's a good thing.  Can't handle a lot of excitement with my personal economy nose diving a million miles an hour.  I have had no raise, and I am in the same boat as many folks, trying to pay utility bills that have tripled, and buy gas that's now 4.45 gallon.   Seriously looking at filing bankruptcy. Then I can actually afford to replace my roof, and fix my car.   Right now I am sending 700.00 a month to pay off inflated debt, and actually I will be paying it off for another 15 years, right up to my retirement, leaving me NOTHING for retirement.  Insanity.
