Thanks Sabby. We are lucky enough to not qualify for assistance. I think that any normal person is struggling big time. We have half of our house shut up all winter and are thinking we will completely close the second floor when it is cold again and sleep in the living room. I know that many are thinking this is just a normal recession but I can say that I have never seen anything like this. It is a thousand a month just to pay the mortgage taxes and insurance. I just wonder what others are doing. How are people making it? We are supposed to be more lucky as I have disability but how can that be true when we can't afford fuel oil? I am so concerned for us and others. I am not sure how much more thrifty we can be. Time to give up internet. Not for the summer since daughter coming home. I guess we will be wearing a lot of clothes when cold returns. We only use about 400 gallons a year. I hope my kids can make it in their own lives.
