Without touching on politics (which is verboten on here), suffice to say I believe you know who the 'instigator' of that is without mention his name other than to say I refer to him as 'Oatmeal Brain'...
Everything is going up. I've taken no less than 5 substantial increases in material costs for the shop in this last year. it's a viscous, not just for her, but for everyone, including my wife and I. We aren't eating hand to mouth by any means but we feel it as well and now the sharp increase in motor fuel costs don't help any either.
At least with my 3 rentals, I still manage to chuck it away monthly and we both have excellent pensions but a lot of folks are up against it and we know and see it everyday. Why we donate to the local food pantry and the church we belong to serves dinner every weekend and we contribute foodstuffs to that as well. We always try to do our part to held those less fortunate than ourselves.
Just like every stray animal that lands here, gets to stay here and be cared for, no matter what. Of course it's mostly cats (that I don't particularly like) but they weren't given a choice so they are all welcome here, get cared for, vet needs taken care of and our 11 year old pure bred Aussie tolerates them as well. I think he remembers he was a cast off many years ago. Good pup, in fact every pup we have had the honor of taking care of has been good pups.
Don't think you can come here as we only take in 4 legged animals....lol... and the house is pretty full presently with 10 cats inside, a pup and about 15 more roaming around outside and all of them are a bit overweight as well. My wife believes in excessive nutrition, most of them were starved and abused, we try to male their lives as comfortable as possible. Gotta go, our Aussie is demanding attention...
