    thank you

    Thank you so much for the Silver Trophy
    I am very honored...SSSI& disablilty is not what it seems nor is it the easy life some people think it is...but I did work and mine is SSI but it still barley covers the necessities...from month to month...
    It is definitely no fun....living from month to month on such a little sum of money when prices are getting higher and higher everyday....
    Again thank you so very much
    Hugs
    Susan~~~

      Yeah, even with my son's SSI and my husband's full-time income, we barely make it through each month.
