I just hopes it stimulates the economy again. Jobs! Customers! That's what I'm really interested in. Otherwise, they are politicians to a certain degree - do they ever really do what they say they are going to do?!

Whine: My slum lord boss won't let me make repairs and I have an elderly lady who is getting sicker and sicker with some kind throat infection from mold. Another lady had some of her furniture and belongings ruined because of a roof leak. My boss said, I'll just tarp it when it stops raining. She'll be fine. Roofing contractors are "too expensive." OMG! I can't sleep at night working for a slum lord. Hopefully I'll get my ticket out of there today.

As for the elderly lady I'm finding her a contrator to fix that mold. I don't care if I get in trouble.........

Arg, BL, that's so hard!! At least you're doing as much as you can... Not everyone would be willing to take that risk. I'm glad that lady has you on her side.

Woke up feeling great and now am so depressed I don't know what to do.

Diabetic dog is having a lot of trouble getting up our 11 steps to the upstairs. Last few days he can barely get up. I have to help him and he acts as if his legs aren't working right. He can get downstairs just fine, but not up. He used to "get a running start" at the bottom and just run up the stairs, but now struggles to lift his legs up to the next step. Can't afford another vet bill but he needs to go. I am worried sick.

Next up: my bk (bratty kid) who's living the high life in her private foster home in a rich neighborhood and for whom our mentor friend buys her phones and camera and clothes. She is still refusing to move back home with me, says she's "not ready" but it's pretty plain she likes her new lifestyle and doesn't want to go 'slumming' by living with me on the 'south side of town'. She's very likely eligible for SS benefits on MY work record, but don't think I can get them if she's living somewhere else.
I asked mentor friend if she could help me find a way to apply and possibly get SS benefits for bk so part of it could pay at least one bill for me and the other half could go into a two year CD for a "nest egg" for her when she graduates high school.

Mentor took my request all wrong and fired back that it would be fraud and she's not going there. I'm not trying to cheat anyone, least of all her, only trying to make a way to help me with one stinking bill a month and give bk a nice savings account.

Really depressed over these two things, both of which involve - of course - money. I am the Queen of Frugal, the Diva of Doing Without. I never buy clothes or furniture or ANYTHING not necessary to live. I'm on a bare-bones-budget and can't trim anything off it. There is nothing left over and I'm sick of getting late notices and shut off notices.

I won't drink over it, cause that would only make it worse, but I'd LOVE to be completely numb. I'm sick of busting my @ss and still going belly up and losing at everything. I'm doing everything I know to be right, and it's killing me.

I just lost all I wrote to you Least, but what it boiled down to is "I am proud of you." You are facing life even though you would rather turn your back and you are not thinking of drinking as a real option. It would numb things very temporarily and could definitely make them worse. I think you are a praying woman and if you could turn to prayer right now it might be helpful. He will take care of you my friend and I have started for you. :ghug3

I feel so horrible and worthless right now I don't even feel worthy of prayers, mine or anyone else's. Sick of riding this damn roller coaster and seems like it goes so far down it's an impossible climb back up. I am hanging on for dear life but just feel worse every minute.

Least...

Let go of the feelings..as much as lieth within you.

They are just that. Feelings. I struggle with them too..the fear.

And anger..never know when they will come..

Just try to let go..and get out of it.

And don't drink no matter what.

Hugs and prayers for you today, my friend!
