I'm glad you like it.

I posted the history (all 2-4 days of it) of this group.

Really all I did was see a 'gap' between Frugal/energy efficient which to me always had the feel of a 'lifestyle choice' and working poor as a group, also every time i see a working poor post, it seems i instantly see a suggestion from someone who hasn't 'walked the walk'

'eat rice and beans'!
'get another job'
blah blah blah

anyway, welcome all, for now i've applied to admins to be 'main host'
In the future i hoped we could have rotating elected hosts or similar

have fun all!
