Couldn't agree more! Too bad I just don't have enough guts to "tell him off"... I want to get a place that is dog friendly so I can have Cocoa with me pretty often. Get this, my sister put her two cents in (wich means nothing) and basically said to my face (and I quote) "You can't possibly live on your own!", well, yeah, the money part (for awhile) is true, but from what I understand, people like us, get a little financial help (and when I said "like us", I totally mean being stuck on the system.)
My sister is a whole other story that I don't EVEN want to get into. I bet you are the only one who does the houswork, too, aren't you. My sisters (yes, I said sisters, the one who is opioniated and a mess worse than I am supposedly in) and one who just HAD to move back home because she was transferred. (I can't wait until JANUARY! I wish I was moving, but I am not.)
