I'm right there with you gray keeper. As is most of Alaska. A lot of the ones that don't care about the PFD is because they make enough money that it does not cause them any discomfort. I know people who cannot afford their medications because they counted on the PFD. My husbands grandfather is fighting cancer and is on a fixed income. That PFD would have made a huge difference for him. He was one of the first out here homesteading and was a volunteer firefighter/EMT for over 20+ years. I find it annoying that some assume that because one counts on the PFD that we are moochers or lazy. Most of us have jobs, or two, or three because that is what it takes to live here. The cost of housing, electricity, and heating are ridiculous to say the least.
