19. I've been in that
Edited on Fri Jan-30-09 02:14 PM by Why Syzygy
kind of crisis since 2003. No one has to explain suffering to me.

There is a faith based house in a major Texas city. The residents (7-8) are required to shop food pantries at least once a week, unless they get food stamps, which all go to the house. During the summer last year, the Administrator insisted on keeping the thermostat at 68 degrees, even though she doesn't LIVE THERE. I told her I thought it was a disgrace "in this day and age". My son is in the USAF and has had two tours so far. She said it would be a disgrace for anyone to be hot "in this day and age". She didn't care if the power bill was $800, she said. She has lost all of her legitimate, willing donors because of her dirty tricks in the past. That, plus her program is a miserable failure. One of the residents committed suicide last summer. But, don't worry, the woman was not "hot" at the time.
