I am going on a church retreat this weekend to a cabin with a river, and I will be going tubing hopefully (if the water is not too cold for me). I also have basketball. Enjoy your weekend everyone and have fun enjoying yourselves in ways that do not include gambling.

Have a blast, my friend! The water will never be as cold as the river of despair that we've all traversed. It's called CLEAN living!

Saturday, I'm headed to a Phillies game with my brother and parents (Mom & Dad are both 85 yrs old). I feel so blessed to be able to share this day with them.

Be well, and stay strong!

Love Tagg

working this weekend, but still going to find time to hangout with my new friend and our kids... no anxiety or doubts allowed, 'cause it may bring thoughts of escape to a "happy land"... building peaceful hapiness inside of myself. one day at a time
Love, Vicky

I finally saved enough money to buy a new car.

Car Shopping this weekend.

Oh What a Feeling!

Wow, I think it is so awesome that you are buying a new car! It is nice to hear that all of your hard work is paying off.

Went to Delaware for a car race yesterday, going to work around the house today and figure out how poorly my pool fared during the winter... gonna be a long day I fear.... but a long or bad day is better than any good day gambling!

Thanks sglt71!

Fr the past 2 years I had paid off all my debts and that help my credit score tremendously. Even I only got a 4.86% interest car loan is much higher than the current market rate with a good credit score but at least I know that I am doing OK now.

I am in the same boat as you. No late bills in 2 years. Hard to believe that 2 years ago I almost lost my house. I am going to try to lower my home equity loan in June. Last year they would not do it because of my credit history.

I had baseball tournaments to attend and taking my daughter to the airport. So it was a bittersweet weekend, but casino free!
