Subject only to a few simple rules, unfortunate yet necessary.<br />I also always add a good bit to my monthly utility bill payment as that extra goes directly into a fund that helps families struggling to keep the lights on and their home warm. Not because I love the utility company, but because, having done my due diligence, I know for a fact that every penny goes to those families, no rake for promotion or administration fees.Uncle Larhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008207593205949098noreply@blogger.com
