Just-A-Note

I would like to apologize to my readers for not being able to visit journals lately. I am so sorry.

I have dedicated most of my time to going through the motions of looking for employment, and although I continue to be behind in my entries, I have been trying to keep up with adding SOME entries to my blog... BUT it has been too frustrating to deal with the continued nightmares of AOL technical difficulties with editing, alerts, uploading, and continually getting blank pages, etc. 

I hope that you are forgiving and that AOL gets its act together in 2008...

MONEY MATTERS:

I am happy to report that I saved $20.00 on my electric bill this month! Also, I forgot to add in yesterday's entry that when I went to the bank, the teller told me that I can be $1,000.00 in the red on my account, but it will cost me $27.00, which means that I can only be in the red at $973.00. That means that if I do not have the rent for next month, I will be ok. I will still owe the money and this will need to be a one-time thing, but it will buy me more time...

I called the U-Haul to see how much money it will cost, just in case I need to move out of my apartment and become homeless again. 

I would hate to be homeless for a second time, but if that happens, I will no longer be able to continue with my blog...

Please continue to keep me in your prayers.

May the good Lord bless all of my readers who have stuck by me through these difficult times in my life.

Awww I am so sad to read of this Winivere I will be praying harder than hard you are not made homeless.Do you not have any relations livingnear you could go to for a short stay until you got work and somewhere else to live? As for AOL they have just kicked me off twice.I thought my computer had crashed at first.I am so annoyed with them at times.Yes the uploading and things are very hard on dial up.I am on broadband silver so I am ok,having said that sometimes it is difficult even so when aol are messing about with new updates all the time.!! My son tells me if I moved up to Platinum I wouldn't gain anything as I don't download much at all on mine.In fact I do very little only my J/land stuff and now and again a bit of my favourite music..I do hope we havn't to lose you.I am suprized work is so scanty over there.Please Take Care and know you are in my prayers.Take God Bless Kath

Guido said I should call round.  I'm sorry to know you are going through so much right here at Christmas time.  There have been several times we have been very up against it financially in our lives.  But have never stood actually in peril of being homeless.  What I learned in our own struggles was to do all you can, all you know.  Check every resource available, even if you think you won't qualify or it embarrasses you.  And then turn the rest over to Lord.  Sometimes we can be amazed at the unusual and unexpected places our help comes!  -  Barbara

Good morning.  I have not found your journal before but have been directed here by our wonderful Guedo.  I am so sad that at this time you have so many worries, financial and workwise.  Everything always seems doubly bad at this time of the year when everyone else seems so bright and happy...But I am sure and positive that there are many many in your position who are feelinng just like you....It dos'nt make you feel any better I am sure !!  but perhaps maybe it will if we think of wee ones without a parent or presents tomorrow monring.  Stay well Keep positive, and God Bless.  I will be praying that you have a great change of fortune in 2008.   Sybil x

Is it really an option to make yourself homeless again? We have had so much in the way of money worries the past couple of years and could still lose our house if a certain person/company is particularly vindictive for a paultry sum. We have put in an appeal so it should all go okay. I know how hard it is to see the wood for the trees when money problems rear their ugly head, sweetheart,(I have felt suicidal at times but that would not solve the problem, lol) but there is a solution to everything at the end of the day and I am sure if you speak to a debt advisor (not one of these finiancial institutions!!!) I am sure they will help you sort it out. We have charitable organisations here that help, free of charge, with financial problems so perhaps you could find similar? It is Christmas so enjoy as nothing can be done over this time and start with renewed strength in the new year.  Love Joan.

hi, i am sorry to hear of your troubles. We have been struggling for some time and i understand how hard and frustrating it is. Keep strong things will get better, you sound like you are trying to get it sorted, there are some who expect others to bail them out in times of trouble. Take care and good luck, i will keep you in my thoughts. mrs t xxx

I understand your plight.  I've been where you are and it's not fun.  But it seems to always work it's way out.   I'm retired now and on a fixed income and especially during this winter with higher electric bills I am concerned about stretching my income to match my out go.  Are there services in your area that can help you ?  Am not sure where you live but I know there is help out there especially if you live in the U.S.  The important thing is your frame of mind.  Keep positive and keep looking up ^.    Take care....Linda in Washington state

Dear Win -- it's less easy to do so, but AOL Journals CAN be updated, et al, via aol.com, or going to the website for ones journal, via the general internet, and signing in.  Now, access to a computer might be a different story, and those at libraries, et al, are not always easy.

I'm sorry I haven't been visiting journals lately, as well.  Staying "up" and positive for Christmas, which I do love, for my daughter's sake and my own, took a lot of work while dealing with everything else.  Dealing, yeah well, we all deal in our own ways at we've been doing fine but sometimes it's "dealing."

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas cake, and midnight mass.  We went to a service that ended at midnightish.  First time there since my dad's memorial service, yet it was good to be there, even to see my friend now a pastor there and chat.

I'm glad we've "met," and may your new year be GOOD and full of employment, even if at the moment you have a backup plan, you do need more income, obviously.  -- Robin
