Raindrops keep falling on my head.....

     did you create this picture that you have with the saying by Robert A. Heinlein?

    I just love it. Cheers

    Glenda, I'm late seeing this update.  I'm so sorry things are continuing to NOT go your way!  I don't know how you're coping, but I'm glad that you're keeping your spirits up and that you're able to read all the supportive posts here.  I'll continue to send good vibes your way -- you, your DH and your pups are in my thoughts.  Surely, things have to start changing for the better soon!

    Way too much rain on you and yours!

    Hang in there and look into some of the offers our members are coming up with. You never know what path is going to open up...

    My thoughts and hopes are with you!

    (((Hugs Glenda)))

    we know the feeling here. my DH JUST got a new job. he was six months unemployed and everyone was looking at him like it was his fault. he's had other jobs but they never last or the pay isnt conducive to gas prices and auto repair. He's a salesman/repairman by trade. finally got back to an old company he worked with before his ex ruined his life.

    BUT 6 months with no job/pay and three weeks at the new job.. his pay check got lost in the freakin mail! my kids are in cloth diapers right now because we ran out lol thank God one of them is virtually potty trained. he just isnt trained well enough to go in public without a diaper or at least plastic pants..... the grass outside is also hip deep because we cant afford to put gas in the mower, but the goats are loving it. we stake them out in what ever spot or path needs mowing lol! as well as the ducks. they're having a field day(literally) eating grass hoppers and crickets in the tall grass. 

     

    anyways, i know a house for sale or rent in the Atlanta area. a friend of ours owns it. he's a good sort and might work with you on some sorta deal. he's been trying to sell it since 2004..... and if you decide to come to Florida job hunting you're welcome to my yard. its quite big and shady. and the river isnt but five minutes away.

    Hoping things will improve and the rain will slacken a bit for you here, too, (((Glenda))).  A friend from another board coined the phrase "poofs"...and I think some poofs..or good thoughts all around you, are especially needed for you right now, my dear.

    Gee Glenda I sorry to hear that things are still as they are. I was so hoping things would have gotten better by now. You are quite a woman. I don`t know if I could go through what you and your DH have been through and are still going through and still be in my right mind. Its got to be tougher that tough. With 6 GSDs and two cats to boot living in a RV for this long. I really commend you. Hugs and many many prayers.

    Glenda, you know I just keep on plugging for you guys.  These times are testing a lot of folks, and you will come thru the other end of the tunnel, promise.  Don't bother looking for the "light at the other end" because some little twerp n a cost-cutting kick turned it off!!  So just keep feeling your way along and you WILL get there!! *hugs*

    Thot I'd best check in and let you guys know that I'm still among the living.  The dust has settled and life goes on.

    The gal we're staying with is great.  She wants us to consider her home ours, but I'm not comfy taking advantage that way so we bascially only come in to use the phone and internet and bathroom, and try to not be intrusive.  She WANTS us to be intrusive though, so it's kind of nice to be able to both be out of the RV at the same time, which we couldn't do at the campground.  There we couldn't leave the dogs alone for so much as a minute because that was against the rules.  Here too, I can leave the shades open during the day and not worry about a random bark because of the foot traffic they can see.  It's quiet here with little activity, so that makes it easier to relax.

    I will say, it's darned nice being able to cook in a real kitchen again!  And she likes coming home from work and having a real meal instead of picking up fast food every night, so that works out well.

    So, at least for TODAY, the rain that's falling, is what Mother Nature provided!  And, it's kind of a nice sound on the roof of the RV.  Soothing when you are sleeping.

    Todd's sent out several resumes this week, some right here IN state, so will keep my fingers crossed that something turns up quickly, and in the meantime, he's got a line on some part time work that will help pay the bills and keep the wolves away from the door.  Even six gsds aren't so good at scaring off wolves! Surprise

    I'm glad that you are in an OK spot right now and things are looking up for you.  We've been thinking of you a lot lately.

    It seems that your friend is really enjoying your company so she is benefiting from your being there as much as you are!

    • Gold Top Dog

    Glad things aren't SO bad right now.  Fingers crossed that he gets calls on those resumes.

    • Gold Top Dog

    My fingers and everything have been crossed for so danged long that everything is getting stiff.  Some promising signs, but I'm not holding my breath.  I could use some majorly good news about now........

    • Gold Top Dog
    At least things are looking up-ish :)

    You can come live with me, if you homecook for Pirate ;)

    I was just poking around and hoping for a good news update... the park people who kicked you out sound like jerks, but perhaps it was for the best since you seem to be in a bit of a better place now? I wish I could help with the job stuff, but cost of living is painfully expensive around here and it seems the only jobs are in insurance, anyway... :-\ If I hear of anything, though, I'd certainly let you know! If there's anything any of us could do to give you a hand, there are tons of people who would love to. Stuff like revising resumes, helping look for lodgings, whatever. Just let us know!

    Honestly the thing I need the most right now is prayers.  The money situation is pretty dismal and frankly, it scares me to be so darned far in the hole.  But, at least I'm not having to pay huge campground rent and I can BE inside a house if I choose to be.  I decided that I wasn't going to pay her danged charges for knocking the power station over......it was still perfectly functional and I think they are just trying to screw us worse.  And she added another 60 bucks to what she originally said we owed her.  She HAS a full months rent and we were there a whooping 5 days, if you count the night that the freezer spent in the site without us.  Originally we were supposed to get money back and then that changed to us owing and then owing more.  I guess she can sue us, but that's not going to get her very far.

    Todd is putting in applications all over town.  There are lots of seasonal jobs here right now, if someone would just hire him.  It would help see us through at least.  Last weeks entire check went to covering overdrafts, which just thrilled me.  The car insurance took out more than they are supposed to and that really started a domino affect.......stuff happens and I'm grateful that at least I've got a full freezer.  My anal tendencies to keep that thing stocked have really served us well.  Getting a bit low on the good stuff, but we can still eat, and that's all that really matters.  Hopefully my tax rebate will be in the post office box today so I can get caught up on a few things........

    And, there is interest from several companies on the radio front.......just please keep the prayers coming that we can hang on a little bit longer and that a job, that will support us, actually comes through sometime in the very near future.  There are TWO jobs in state, but we've not heard anything back and that's so very frustrating.......

    I'm a tiny bit depressed today........the pouring rain isn't helping my mood one bit!   Guess that I should stay off the computer when I'm in such a crappy mood...........
