that's cool, man. i wasn't giving you any pity.
i hear you about not marketing yourself. i don't value my skills high enough and generally work for too cheap. workin' on it. good luck, bros.
Oh I know, I was just mentioning what I wasn't expecting around here, because I've seen what happens to people coming around here bitching expecting some pity and handout.
By the way, I actually don't eat tv dinners, least maybe not more than once a month. The wife actually cooks everything and stresses against going out to eat (though sometimes we'll be bad and hit up culvers or something once in a blue moon). For example, lunch today was home made lasagna.
so least there's an upside there.
Also having run into the problem before, when she went out to the store today she brought back several galons of water, we usually fill the jugs back up at the neighbors house when we go thru those. As what we used to do last winter when we had a problem was use an air pot (boils hot water pretty fast, not sure why they call it an air pot), to preheat water and mix with some cold for bathing and what not. (going without bathing for a day is the worst thing you can do to your spouse).
We also have a waist-heigh freezer that we stock up with meats and other items, even though it takes a lil more in electricity, having a big freezer of meats and such helps when you go without pay for a couple weeks. Since you can get meat packages really cheap at the local farmer's market precut and such. There's also a local asian store that mainly just the native immigrants goto, so if you know your way around that, its rather inexpensive too.
So it's not like we're dying, I just need to blow off steam every now and then and look at how to fix it.
