This. So much this. A couple months back we had to work with our church and the mechanic to help us pay for a shattered wheel bearing on my 15-year-old, 178,000-mile truck. It about KILLED me when I found out that the church paid about half the bill (around $250). I was raised to never take charity, so I don’t know quite how to handle it and actually graciously receive something like that. :)
For this woman to stand in front of a really nice high-def TV and Xbox and complain about the taxpayers of Bibb County not paying her heat bill? She’s got a lot of something the Yiddish call “chutzpah,” but the folks down in Macon probably just call “balls.” You could do without some video games and TV, lady. Sell ‘em, heat your house. Priorities.

Yup—last time I checked, those X-Box/PS/Wii games ran about $50 a pop for the more popular titles. How much ya wanna bet there’s some SERIOUS stuff in a box, just gathering dust, like Call Of Duty, Madden 11 (all of them), etc?
