    Thursday, July 3, 2008 | A Venting story

    My husband is replacing our roof because we cant afford to have someone do it.  The door bell rang and the buiulding inspector is there saying I have to have a permit.  Why does the town have to take money from me to do something that has to be done to my own home.....  Then it began to rain and raing hard, even though it showed no rain today.  It is still raining.  My hu...

    Friday, July 4, 2008 | A Venting story

    My A/C went out last evening.  No clue why.  Was working fine then it wouldnt turn on anymore.  I have checked everything and inspected the entire unit.  I will now have to find someone who can come out and look at it to tell me whats wrong.  Thats $50-$100 for the visit, then what ever it will cost.  I will have to try to come up with the money - no idea how.  ...

  • Tired...

    Wednesday, July 9, 2008 | A Venting story

    Sorry in advance to anyone who writes a journal or needs some support.  I am depressed severely and tired of fighting with myself just to get out of bed.  I am taking a break and just going to let myself be in bed.
    Day 5 no hot water and 1-2 months before we can come up with the money to replace the hot water heater - FYI: Do not by any whirlpool water heaters, mine is 7 months old and w...

  • My birthday

    Sunday, October 19, 2008 | A Venting story

    I have to pretend that it's not my birthday today because there is no celebration and I'm still caring for Fredd.  He is apologetic, but there's no need:  I understand that he's injured.  That's why I have to pretend.  I'm just like a kid with birthdays, waiting for the candles on the cake so that I can make that one wish which will come true....

  • Story of my life....

    Monday, January 26, 2009 | A Venting story

  • Food Banks

    Wednesday, May 6, 2009 | A Venting story

    So, we finally got a listing of all the places to go for food here.  Unfortunately, we cant get any food from them.  Most of them said if you get more than $100 in food stamps you cannot get food from them (we get $212 now which feeds us for 2 weeks).  The rest are first come first serve and we were not there early enough to fight for food. Plus we have to fill out the forms and sh...

  • People Can Be Low Sometimes.

    Monday, October 5, 2009 | A Venting story

    Today was a fairly busy day full of school, homework, and random errends. Anyway, walking back to my dorm today I actually got made fun of for how I walk. I was kind of taken by surprise as it hadn't happened in a while and I figured people at college would be a little more mature. My walking has improved though so I am happy about that. My walking is worse when I'm tired and I limp more ...
