i'm not asking to keep up with the joneses, just inflation
none of us at work have gotten raises in four years. i've been understanding, knowing i have to be thankful to have a job, but in the last month or two, while watching grocery prices soar, it's been very, very disheartening.

You're right, grocery prices are ridiculous (and packages are shrinking), and it seems like they're even worse if you want to eat healthfully. But then you feel bad complaining since you have a job at least, when a lot don't. It's a mess.
Ron Paul's the only one who's serious about dealing with inflation and the value of the dollar. Just sayin'. :)
i'm whining about my lack of a raise, not the politics behind it :P
I know, but it's related. You wouldn't need a raise were there not inflation. And they probably can't afford to give you a raise because of inflation. And inflation happens because we have a federal reserve bank that creates money out of thin air whenever the government needs it. It's counterfeiting and it's extremely dangerous, which is why Washington, Jefferson and Jackson all fought so hard against it, and which is why counterfeiters have been punished so harshly in history and are admonished in the Bible. And Ron Paul's the only one serious about dealing with this problem. This isn't about politics; it's about truth. :P
I'll pray for him to get elected so that you either get a raise or no longer need one. ;)
This also makes me think about your recent post about doing instead of just thinking. You know, doing things to bring about what you desire. :)
i'm with you, mel. basically we're not even making the same as we were four years ago. we're making less. so frustrating!
exactly, didder.
I know! I know! Move here! :D
and on a week when our dollar is worth less than yours.
Come on! You know you want to! ;)
only if there's a hubby involved ;)
ooh - a mountie!
but it's so cold there! oh. you're already in minnesota. never mind.
Oh we've got connections!! A Mountie shouldn't be difficult to arrange at all! :)
And cold yes. But much less ice.
So when should we expect you all? :D
all? you've got one for me too? can you please send a picture first? i don't want to go that far north unless i'm sure... (and i'd have to get a passport too)
we don't need passports to get there, just to get home. so if we marry mounties we should be just fine.
oh, really? why do we need passports to get back but not to get out? weird.
cuz why would anyone want to go to canada? they're excited when they get visitors. ;)
oh no! It's 'cause there's so very few of us, it's nice to see new people! And we're so stinking friendly- and really not concerned about terrorism- we have the Mounties after all! ;)
Josh's dad is a Mountie so I'm sure he knows lots of single Mountie men!
