I know what you mean by oil prices they are so bad that grocery prices and everything else is jumping .I dread living in Ohio next winter with high fuel cost that should more then double. My brother is already working two jobs just to keep up and he is probaly not keeping up he has a pacemaker and a difibulator on him and is 76 years old . He’s wife is somewhat cripled and cannot walk the government gives her 4 hours a day of help the rest of the time she is alone while he works . He has a awful hard time making ends meet .
It is not easy for me either you go out less and get more stuff when you are out.
