John Scalzi has an essay, a year old at this point, about being poor.  Powerful:

Being poor is believing a GED actually makes a goddamned difference.

Being poor is people angry at you just for walking around in the mall.

Being poor is not taking the job because you can't find someone you trust to watch your kids.

Being poor is the police busting into the apartment right next to yours.

Being poor is not talking to that girl because she'll probably just laugh at your clothes.

Being poor is hoping you'll be invited for dinner.

Being poor is a sidewalk with lots of brown glass on it.

Being poor is people thinking they know something about you by the way you talk.

Being poor is needing that 35-cent raise.

Being poor is your kid's teacher assuming you don't have any books in your home.

JILL and I have comms via Yahoo! Messenger.  We get to chat about once a day or so.  Some days more, some less.  Needless to say, JILL worries about me.  I worry about her, too, but she's not in a war zone, so it's not the same, of course.
