Not at all. There are low cost data options out there. I didn’t have internet at my house for the first year and a half, just used my phone. Would that be an option? Ditching the cable internet (I’d guess Comcast in Reading - I’m just a couple miles outside of the actual city and I’m stuck with them) might be something to consider if you haven’t already.

I would also never hurt a dog much less shoot one. I’m sorry you are in a bad spot now and I hope it does get better for you. I know Cartech is hiring pretty much constantly and the pay is good. Might be worth a look if you need a leg up financially. I apologize for coming off harsh, it was not my intent. I wish you a Merry Christmas and hope things start looking up for you.
