Thanks for the link, I will need to read it later, have so much open now, the computer is complaining.
I do not remember eating cheese as a child, guess we couldn’t afford it.
Thanks to Fred for this link to the rest of the story on the
Koala Bear survivor of the Australia fire.
The photo showed up first on my terrorist list and there are even more here.

SPECIAL REQUEST!!!!
COULD WE TALK A LITTLE ABOUT HOW TO SURVIVE, WHEN THE LAST PAYCHECK HAS BEEN SPENT???
WHERE WILL YOU GET THE FOOD TO FEED THE KIDS???
WHERE WILL YOU LIVE???
WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT???
WHERE WILL I FIND A JOB???
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO BRIDGE THE GAP???
We have several Freepers who are out of work and no matter how well prepared we are, nothing lasts forever.
Those who are now storing food and getting ready think they are fine, but if you loose your job, it may well be months before you find another, and then what will you do?
We can’t all hang out at the food warehouse and hope to find a cache of out of date food and if we do, how do we find that warehouse, or any other place that has the intent to toss out the food.
Sure we know about the Salvation Army and soup kitchens, but more help / knowledge is needed.
What do you do, when the last bean has been eaten?
Where do you live, when the house is locked up and you and all you own are in the street?
I know that San Diego is full of cardboard shelters in the canyons, I heard the Police talk about it on the scanners and have heard it in other towns.
That is how we first came to San Diego, but we were lucky the second trip, as dad had nailed plywood into a box on an old car axle and called it a trailer, but we lived in the river bottom, where Linda Vista road comes down and there were lots of poor people under the trees, surviving.
In Denver this year, they moved the homeless out of the areas that would be seen by tourists at the Democrat’s convention, it was in the Denver papers.
How does one find a job in another town?
Imagine, it is you without a dollar to your name, what will you do?????
