Keep up the good work. You'll be more independent when you stop depending on food stamps, but you're on your way. Also, I recommend ordinary reusable cups instead of plastic disposables.

I can imagine circumstances that do not permit the cleaning of reusables.

Thanks for your kind words. But I have cystic fibrosis, as does my oldest son. Our very expensive health issues are the reason I am deeply in debt and cannot work a normal job. Disposable cups are dirt cheap germ control compared to the thousands of dollars per month in medical care I and my oldest son are supposed to require.

Cheers.

Sure, that makes sense. Wow, I didn't know it was cystic fibrosis.

I like your comment about the medical care that you two are "supposed to require." :)
