Help

I should be getting my laptop back sometime today (In fact, I was expecting it back by this morning) but it's costing us more than we can possibly afford. If you haven't kicked in lately and have a few spare bucks, Barb and I would sure appreciate it. My checking account had a negative balance until I transferred the last of my saving account into it, so we may get hit with an overdraft fee. The reason we're in such bad shape is because Barb's boss finally put her on the books which meant they began holding back a week, which means she couldn't make her usual deposit last Saturday because there was no check last week (the fact she's getting paid minimum wage for a skilled job with nearly 18 years experience doesn't help much, either but that's another story.).

So any help you could give us would be deeply appreciated because I can't cover the $60 check that I'll have to write this guy today until my own check comes in later.
