Not Much

I read somewhere that gasoline prices are going down. That's nice, but it doesn't help me. When are the food prices going down? We are doing terribly with the food the last few months. Not everyone has cars but everyone does need to eat, so food prices should be lowered since that's more important.

Danielle told me Alex asked her for a cell phone. Because she knew I'd say no. Thank goodness for Danielle taking one for the team and saying no for me. Alex is good at keeping track of her things despite being a packrat. It's not that I think she'd lose her phone if she had one. Honestly if she could come up with the money for it each month I'd be all for hooking her up. Just to be clear because in the comments it seems like it's not the reason Alex can't have a phone is because of how much it costs not because danielle and i don't trust her to be responsible with it. we do.

We have decided that Aunt Elaine is going to vote by absentee ballot. Danielle and I offered to do all the work, which of course Aunt Elaine was all for. Who says you have to be 18 to vote?

I agree with you Sam. Food is so expensive. I don't know how you all do it. You would think with gas prices coming down, it would bring food prices down becauase they said that is what put them up. Politics for ya. You could maybe start Alex out with one of those phones that you pay to put minutes on. That will tell you if how responsible she would be. Obviously if your out of minutes and no money, you don't use phone. Just an idea. Those are pretty cheap but that's because you pay to put minutes on them.

The GO phone, worked for my niece, she learned how to manage it then my sister upgraded her to a regular phone this year and she's continued to be responsible in fact.

Glad you're all finding a way to vote, every one counts, I hope!
