Wisewoman,

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about!!!! I'm in a constant state of panic. Things are ok now, but I'm worried about this summer when the price of gas is supposed to go sky high, leading to a whole lot of things that I try very hard to avoid thinking about.

I try very hard to avoid any news. I know that this is not the best plan of action, but I just can't take them going on and on. I've made a back up plan of the things that we can cut back on if we need to, but that depends upon hubby working. If things are to get as bad as predicted, there's not a doubt in my mind that his employeer will shut down.
