Got 8 jars of peanut butter for $2 the other day with coupons and money back coupon at register. There are ways to save and stock up if some of these people would take the time to learn, but if not, their money and food is gone quickly and then they complain.

Wow - that's some great savings! I agree - I see so many (with foodstamps, of course) buying pre-packed food. That stuff is SO expensive. And so unhealthy. Not to mention, takes so awful! Give me a bag of beans and a bag of rice anyway - it'll last longer, be healthier, and taste better once I add some spices and such to it. Maybe meat if I'm 'splurging'.

The months our son was at Marine training were some of the longest as parents. Almost no contact and wondering how they are making out with all the grueling training. But when they graduate, it is one of the proudest moments you’ll have.

I'll bet. I hope I don't cry. Much. But I'm confused - I thought you had two sons, one that will be in college soon and one that was in college. Where does the Marine fit in?

We have one daughter (oldest) then 3 sons. The Marine is the middle son and is an auto mechanic. He is in the reserves, sort of. Due to illness, he’s in a limbo status. Long story.
