how many people said "wish there was something I could do for you."

Prayer doesn't cost a dime.

That being said, it doesn't always pay the bills, either. :-) But, if this DUmmie was active in church they'd always have a support net. Bunch of anonymous people on a bulletin board (sorry FReepers) are no subsititute.

Also, if they made better choices (sure, I'd love to see relatives, but if I don't have the cash, there's such a thing as a telephone....) then they'd be in a better situation. Withholding rent from a landlord is about the dumbest thing you can do as a tenant.

Definitely. That was a major role of the local church in the past. Now people have turned from God and church and the nanny state has taken over that role. I’m impressed always by the way the Mormon community supports each other.

You too! What is WITH you people?? Expecting people to help EACH OTHER, WITHOUT the government being involved????
