Lately I haven't been signing up for anything, which makes me sad because I really enjoy getting free stuff!! Maybe it is just me, but nothing really seems that great lately to sign up for..

Yes, I got it back, but it cost. A variety of friends got together and loaned me the $$ to get it out. So I have to pay them back, and my unemployment check hasn't come yet.

Who knows, I might be living in it with my cat...

You have to be a Hard Core Freebie Fan and even sign up for the junk.
I've gotten crap in the mail that I didn't even know what it was.

I forgot to say I got the Joyce Meyers Calendar today, a Barbie Catalog (those are so cool) and Business Week Free Magazine.

Do you have any family or even local agencies that could help you out until your check comes??? I sure know how you feel. I've been between a rock and a hard place on more than one occasion during my adult life. I remember a few years ago between jobs, I actually had to go to a place to ask for help with my utility bill. I was mortified. But you know what?? They wrote out a check to my utility company and were so sweet about it. I'll never forget how much I appreciated it.

This is what we pay taxes for. Any help you might get you have already paid for.

Yep....been there/done that. And like he/she said...that's part of why we pay taxes. Check out the food pantry, too. Swallowing your pride to actually ASK for the help is by far the hardest part.

Hang in there.....

Yesterday I received the following:
Kashi bar, head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner, Garnier eye cream, and a Pamper. Don't know what I will do the with the diaper . I have friends with little ones so I guess I'll just keep it at the house, "just in case".

moved, hang in there it will get better. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
