 JG> I guess you learned a lesson here, didn't you?  Don't wait till the

 At first, I wasn't going to bother to reply to this post.  Not that I'm 
 agreeing w/ what you say, but just that I'm tired of the argument.  But,
 you've just out and out flamed me, and I'm going to demand an apology.
 For your information, I have been on disability for the past 2 years, and
 prior to that, I was out of work for at least 3 years trying to get on
 disability.  I made enough money to pay for my bills.  For awhile, I was
 STILL struggling until I got an increase in my allotment, so I was lucky
 that my bills would get paid, much less have enough to go out and buy
 "luxury" items such as CDs, or books, or videos, etc. etc.
 NOW, I've finally gotten to the point where I can do some work through
 Voc-Rehab and earn a little extra money.  I'm not struggling as much as I
 was.  So before you even pass judgement on me as to why I waited so long
 to buy the Aladdin video, just try to reaccess (sp) MY personal situation.
 You know NOTHING about me, just as I know NOTHING about you.
 
 In either case, this is the END of discussion as far as you and I are
 concerned.  You and I will never agree, so lets just agree to disagree.
 Carin
