Tuition and bills. It has been rough since my girlfriend is back in school and recently left her job so the entire financial burden is on me.

Considering that, but I need to find a place that takes them.

what do you usually do with your cans???
i live in the sticks and there are no less than 10 redemption centers within 10 miles of me.
cans=money.

You also live in a state that makes you pay a deposit on your cans - which is why it's so easy for you to return them. Indiana does not require a deposit, so it's hard to get money for cans there. Minendo, find as many cans as you can and take a road trip up to Michican, a la Seinfeld. 10 cents a can!

I am just covering her until she can pay me back. We live together so we split everything 50-50.

That doesn't work. The cans have to marked for deposit and only states with a deposit have marked cans. Deposit is 5 cents in New York, that's why they were going to MI where it's 10 cents.

Sorry Minendo, at least you have beer. Just get drunk and forget about it. :D

Hey, if you wanna drive over to Ohio I'll take you to a buffet just to show you how cool I am. That'll tide you over for a few days ;)

But you aren't getting me to drive over there.

Well, I've lived off less :beer: than that before so you're still in good shape. If it gets worst, just ask ATOT for help. ATOT members have been known to take trips to the local markets and buy stuff for members in need.
