You supporting a family of four lilacwomen? also thats not a fixed income... thats a GOOD year, and with the bad economy less people are buying the more expensive stuff, which is what we depend on.
This was never supposed to be about getting there, this was supposed to be about how to deal with stuff TILL you get started on transition.
edit: also I should note my step mother is picky about food, we mostly eat natural / organic, no MSG, as little High Fructose as possible, etc.
