    Anyone else having MAJOR financial problems?

    Have you tried getting grants for your sons college education? My dd got several grants and didn't have to pay hardly anything for her education. Worth a try. Ask your schools financial dept. They helped her find grants.

    Healthy good tasting pie crust recipe?

    Good old fashioned lard makes the best crust. You can put half butter and half shortening and make a good pie crust. I wouldn't use the oil. Your crust more than likely will be tough.
