Default Giving up...

I'm ready to just give up...the bank called yesterday I need to come with five thousand dollars by the end of next month to keep the house and my vehicle.
When I talked to them they already have a pick up order on the truck but on "good faith" will sell it for me.


I've had enough, all my savings, retirement, life policies are gone...and to beat the drum I now have an eye infection. My best friend of fifty years is having surgery today and I can't be there because I have no insurance on my vehicle.

My husband has been looking for a job for over a year and not much luck.
I'm ready for that one bedroom apartment in the middle of nowhere, without a phone, tv or anything that costs money. The only reason I still have internet is because it is also connected to the phone.

But, I know just as sure as I know its raining...things could be a whole lot worse...so I will keep hanging in there and whatever happens will happen...
BTW...my house is also in my sister's name...when it came time for her to pay on the house for three years, she changed her mind. Still, she is my sister, so guess she will have a bad debt showing on her report.

Yep, if I thought I could drown in the rain I might go stand outside...but with my luck, it would probably stop raining.

You folks remember to do something good for yourself today and just for the heck of it, give someone a hug and a smile. You never know when they just might need it.

Oh, Momma......I'm so sorry you're having so much stress in your life right now. You're right, though. Even when things seem terrible they could always be worse.

Money troubles are so stressful. Everyone says you can't buy happiness but a little money sure can ease your mind, can't it. I've been buying two Mega Millions tickets ever since the jackpot has been so large. If I win you can be sure you'll be at the top of my list! I don't even want the whole jackpot! Just a little piece of it would be nice.

I'm glad the bank is being a little understanding about your truck. I'm prayin' for you and your DH. Hang in there and believe in the power of prayer. If I was a little closer I'd bring some sweet tea and come sit on the porch with you!

Praying for you in this dark time. Things happen that we only imagine happening to "other" people. I know you'll come through this stronger than ever, but I'm so sad that you're having to go through it at all. Hang on tight.

I'm so sorry, Momma.

If shotguns and duct tape could fix it, I'd round up jmiller and we'd come hep ya.

Take care, Momma. Maybe there will be a silver lining in this gray cloud.

Thank all of you for your support...I know I will make it through. I also just found that my dad's heart valve is not closing properly and he is having tests next week.

Last week, my friend's nephew was shot by his best friend, this week the same friend is having shoulder surgery, and next week my dad will go for some test for his heart. I think a heart cath, he wasn't sure.

The added stress is reeking havoc right now with my MS...the fatigue is so bad I can't get doodly or diddly done...this too shall pass...sho hope it passes in a hurry.

Your family sure is seeing more than your share of late. Keeping you in my prayers, and wishing there was more I could do.
