Granny, you are such a sweetheart.
We’re cool with the mortgage company. We spoke with them more than a month ago and arrangements have been made.
Please believe me my FRiend when I tell you our troubles have nothing to do with going overboard on anything, let alone a cruise :)
My husband has been out of work since October. Me working part time as a bartender (7 hours a week) and selling a few jars of jelly here and there just doesn’t pay the bills or buy the seeds we needs to get our field planted. But I’ll be able to buy those seeds next week as we will be getting tax refund from the IRS prior to the 1st.
Our volunteer hours at the local Moose Lodge became benificial to us when they paid our electric bill the day before we were due to be shut off. The Moose require a certain percentage of Lodge revenue be given to charity every month, we happened to be last month’s charity.
You brought up government assistance, hubby and I had a major discussion about it this evening. We will NOT do it. It might get boring, but I have a freezer full of venison. I also have 3 bushels of potatoes under the house. No one is going to go hungry in this house.
The phones might be cut off this weekend (I’m on dialup like you, so I’ll post the weekly gardening thread on Thursday)but we’ll be warm and well fed.
It’s driving me absolutely nuts, but we will get through it. Both hubby and I have job interviews tomorrow. Neither is what either of us want, but a job is a job at this point.
I’m going to call it a night. Although I’m younger than you I don’t have your stamina.
Bless you, and thank you for your prayers.

The crack about the cruise, was not meant that I thought you had taken one. In fact it was my way of saying “since you did not blow the rent money on a cruise, there should be help for those who are just in a rough spot”.
One of the worst jobs that I ever had, in a month led to a good one, they came in to eat and hired me from the crummy place for their steak house..........
When Bill was in the hospital, I took the only job in town, 75 cents an hour in 1973, no tips.........and the Judge came in for a hamburger, he was also my car insurance man and he came to my house and hired me to work at the court as a clerk.
So don’t frown at the ugly jobs, they do go places you never dreamed of.
We will all be here cheering you on.
I am glad that you did get some help with the utilities, now for an angel to pay the phone bill.
Sleep well and never fear, I will pay for this excitement, but it was fun, thanks to all of you.

Good news, I pray.
Somehow, in the future, you will look back at this and it won’t be nearly as scary as it is today.
