Thank you, Gather friends, for all of your kind comments to my post early this morning about my utilities and the financial situation I'm having..
I took your advice and called them. The cable company lowered by bill by HALF, just by me calling and telling them that I couldn't afford their service anymore and would either have to go with someone else or cancel cable all together! Woot!
Paying 50% less is a HUGE relief!
Thank you sweet Gatherites for your well wishes and encouraging comments... I don't feel so alone today. :)

Do you know about LHEAP which is a federally funded assitance with heating costs? It's a one time payment different in different states and goes directly to your heating utility as a credit on your account. In our state your income level must be less than $18,800 for one person. That just gives you an idea. This program is usually found through a community action non-profit agency. But you could call your state human services department and they would know who does this program in your town. Don't worry, it's not charity, you pay taxes and that's where it comes from. If you qualify, you have a right to the help.
Best wishes to you, and no, you are not alone.
Thanks for the support and comments
