today, i am in a funk because i have been out of work for a little over 2 months and it is so hard. my car has been repossesed so i am at the mercy of other people to get around. my friend, whom i live with, has been very patient and we are going through hard times. he pays the mortgage and the utilities and his bills and its has been hard because the mortgage was based on my income and his and he don't make nearly as much as he use to. right now, our income has been decreased by almost $3500 a month. i am so mad at myself because i had no savings and did not enroll in the company's 401k program, so when i left the only thing i got was my prorated vacation days (about 14 days) so i had nothing to fall back on. i could not draw unemployment benefits. i have put in application everywhere and no one has called back for an interview. i applied at the temp agencies, nothing but a 1 1/2 day assignment. when i applied at some of the agencies, when asked if i have been convicted of any crimes, i checked yes because of some bad checks that i wrote, but i explained that they were paid off. but they were misdemeanor charges and i was just trying to be honest but that was held against me. right now i am having a pity party for myself and i am not having fun. the holidays are coming up and i know my family know my situation, but it's just the fact that i don't have any money. i have pledge to myself that in 6 months i will be back on my feet but right now i wish that 6 months would be tommorrow. anyway that you for letting me cry on your shoulders. :(


Oh Granny!!!
I don't want you to give up. I want you to call every place you put in an application. Try Mcdonald's or Burger King, or anything! You are a beautiful person, and we are here for you always..I promise you that things are going to pick up for you. If I can do anything at all, or if you need someone to vent on, please pm me, I mean it. I'm here.

They will get a message (like a pm) saying "so & so donated" or something along those lines. granny should be getting messages. I think. I think if you put a message when you donate, they will get a message. But if you don't put a message when you donate, the points will just show up under grannys total points.

Please keep in touch with us, you're so valued here and there's lots of love to go around for ya not to mention support :) big hugs

i am so sorry it took so long to respond, but i had to leave to get a good cry in. i realize that i should not feel sorry for myself for the situation that i am in, because some people have it worse that me. also, i realize that i have such good friends and i pray that they are bless with good fortune over and over again. :)

Granny crying is very good...whatever helps you...there are always others better off and others worse off and I learned one thing in life...What matters most to you may not matter a thing to anyone else. You're dealing with your situation the best way you know how and if that means getting some cry time or vent time, do whatever makes you feel better. You have so much support and you will have to be strong to confront the things going on in your life. Sometimes to be strong we have to have some 'me' time. hang in there

Granny, you will see that things will come along again for you, I know it's very hard to be without a job and not being able to pay your bills and struggling without money, I have been there where you are right now for the past two years, i did not lose my job but did loose my home during Hurricane Wilma and nowhere to go with two children and a husband, and thanks god now is when i am getting back on my feet. I will pray for you and you will see that everything is going to turn out for your best. I will donate my points to you (they are not much) but something will always help. Be strong and remember that as long as you have health you will have everything. It's going to take sometime but soon you will be posting a very happy ending story in this forum. Hang in there and best of luck!
