First off, thanks to everyone who's written so far. Having support in any form is very welcome and appriciated.

Now for some more info/clarification. Unemployment was denied because of how my partner lost his job. We were relying on that money, and were quite upset when they told us it was disqualified AFTER sending a letter telling how much he was going to be getting.
As for job applying, don't worry - I have no pride. I'm applying EVERYWHERE I can, from McDonalds to grocery stores. My partner is doing the same, though since he has two bachelors degrees he's hesitant about the really simple places.

Since we were taken in by my father and his girlfriend, we aren't TOO bad off for food and such. They don't ask for rent, just for help with utilities and food (when we can) and cleaning around the house. They won't let us be in the cold or starve, but they aren't that well off themselves financially so help will be needed soon in that regard.

As for feeding, I wouldn't feed them every single week during winter unless I had a constant ready supply of food for them. I'm already doing every other week, sometimes every third week to stretch what I did have. But now, I only have enough for one more feeding. If I must, I'll only feed the 4 females and put the males on an emergancy fast for the winter. Since my albino BP boy already seems to be going that route, and the other males are all nicely weighted, it shouldn't be too terrible. As it stands, though, I go through two small/medium adult rats, three weaned rats, and three rat pups a feeding - all FT. The females (two BP and two corns) take the 2 sm/md, 1 weaned and 1 pup. My youngest corn girl will be moving up to weaned rat soon.

Right now, my biggest money concerns are for the snakes food and the storage room payments since that's where all our stuff is. If we have to lose our cell phones so be it. It'll be tight while job searching, but they aren't a full need. Helping out with utilities and paying for storage are more important.

Oh, and to sweety314 - a PM will be forthcoming. Thank you!

It's hard to think those good thoughts, given certain mental issues, but we'll try. The kind words from all of you are a big help.
