Midwest - my unemployment is just enough to pay our rent and maybe save 
money for a burger.  It sucks.

Please don't say that.  I already have to hear from one Christian 
relative (my mother) who is convinced that society will collapse any 
day now.  "It's coming!"  Sheesh.

laid out to dry without any safety net.  Not like that's going to 
happen though.  :-(
