Found your blog because of Comic Con, as I'm somewhat a comic book fan myself. Interesting blog, I'll be back to visit. .-= John´s last blog ..<a href="http://altjirangamitjina.blogspot.com/2009/10/joss-stone-coming.html" rel="nofollow">Joss Stone Coming</a> =-.

We ditched our cable and just kept internet and we're getting used to watching everything online instead. But worst of all, we're canceling our health insurance. Together, we pay almost $450 a month and we just can't swing it anymore. It's not happening. But they're telling us they can't just cancel it, we've had to wait until the enrollment period (this month) rolled around. And that even if we cancel it, we're paying through December. I don't remember signing a contract or getting locked into this thing, what gives Aetna? .-= Sharon´s last blog ..<a href="http://thefunctionalweirdo.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/heading-on-out/" rel="nofollow">Heading on out</a> =-.

I really consider myself a saver, but sometimes, I find myself just spending, spending, spending. And then the guilt sets in. And then I stop and then return.

I've caught myself doing that as well. I have a bad habit of buying hobby supplies when we are supposed to be watching our outflow. In my mind, I rationalize it with "what if things get even worse, and I have no job, and I need to stay busy?" Weird. I hope things ease up for you soon. .-= saintseester´s last blog ..<a href="http://saintseestersays.saintseester.com/?p=156" rel="nofollow">On Vaccines</a> =-.

I can identify with you on so much of what you have written. It is just that we have been in this pickle for years now, so I'd say we are experts of the ebb and preparing for the flow. You just have to keep on believing that it's all good no matter what. .-= lilalia´s last blog ..<a href="http://yumyumcafe.blogspot.com/2009/10/dudeism.html" rel="nofollow">Dudeism</a> =-.
