Sometimes I hate the holidays!! Hubby's job has farked up his schedule, so he doesn't get a check this week (he didn't get scheduled to work) he was off last week 'cause of illness. We're so far in debt because of him being off for his shoulder surgery, which took him almost 3 months to heal from (and only partially at that) then gone for 2 weeks for Ben's surgery (at least he's doing good)that I don't know how we'll afford Christmas for the kids, and now we find out he has to have his left knee done (right one's been done twice), but he won't go, we can't afford for him to miss anymore work. He's had a cold/respiratory infection for over a month now, not responding to antibiotics. My right hand is getting carpal tunnel so bad that it hurts almost constantly now, but I'm afraid to have it done, since the left one has permanent nerve damage after getting it done. I've been sick (you really don't wanna know my symptoms) for a couple of months now too, my doctor's checked me out inside and out and can't figure out what's wrong. My family and hubby's do what they can to help, but they've got their own families to care for, and I understand that. Can't get help from any of the local agencies, we've already gone to them to help with the bills. Sometimes I just wonder if it's worth it all.

Contact your local Salvation Army for Christmas and possibly a Thanksgiving basket as well. Go to the local food bank for food. This time of year they are well stocked.

I know that it's hard with the medical bills and the thought of being out of work on top of everything else. I can only hope that things will turn around for you.

I am sorry to hear what bad luck you are having, I do wish your family the absolute best! I dont know your whole situation but with the severity of the health problems, have you or your husband looked into Social Security Disability? It might take a few tries but it might be worth it. Again, Lots of luck to you and I wish you the best!

our food shevles aren't well stocked.. people are in a rut all over around here... they said no one donates turkeys and such both the salvation army and the food shelves... but they will help with presesnts and such

And maybe you should stop caring so much about what the people on this board do. BTW, buh-bye again.

Quote removed, please try to ignore the reregisters. They are just trying to get attention.


Do I know you? or better yet, do you know me? I don't need your chit on top of everything else. To the rest of you, thanks for the support.

Yeah, I know, it just irritates me. They act like I come on here asking for stuff? Did i do that? No! I just am at wits end and need to vent.....

yeh I know that... it feels good to vent some times... I sure am not begging... as a matter of fact I don't want anything.. would have to give my addy then lol... so I will just hope for a better time when hubby is out of school and we can move away from here. I didn't see you as begging either
