I could do that too. So?

As I said... I believe they use the same, sweeter carrots that they use for
the baby carrots. They are not just cut up carrots. And they are not
expensive. About $1 a bag, sometimes less. A bag of those every now and
then isn't going to break our budget.
And, no. I don't frequently appear to be short of money. But... The VA
does owe us since from Sept. Much drama over that and won't get into that
here. Our finances are not yours or anyone else's business. We do need a
new roof and can not get that right now. I don't know how the roofers are
in your neck of the woods but here they want cash. And we know that the
roof will be in excess of $10,000 because I have already gotten quotes. The
roof is not leaking or anything like that. Just older and was not applied
properly. So we wait. When we get the money that is owed to us, then we
can get the roof. My husband has a very good job here now. Nobody is
hurting for money. We just are owed quite a lot of it and still do not have
it. I'm sure we are not the only ones in that boat.
