Anybody own a money tree?

Two words: money sucks. Pretty much everyone in our family is broke right now. And you know it's bad when our aunts have no money. They just had to pay $3000 for a homestead tax, when they could have been exempt. All they had to do was make a phone call and ask a question. They've been living there for at least a year, but they didn't think they could get exemption because Momma's name is first on the deed.

Anyway, I told them we could take a couple of our house's bills off their hands, but they replied that we have no money either. I think I know how much money I have better than they do. Though I did put my foot in my mouth last night when I mentioned that I balanced my checkbook and said that I wasn't broke. Smooth move, moron. . . Poor Aunt 'Raine looked like she was about to cry when she said how much money they had. And I think they had just gotten paid, too. :-( I know they wouldn't accept a check from me; they would get mad at me and tell me that I don't have any money either (see five sentences above) and they would probably resent the "charity" anyway. They're the only ones who can give away money to us. We can't give it to them.

I have to go and print our lecture notes for our next class, so I may be back later and I may not. Hope our dinner goes well with them tonight. . .
