Save

Not to belabor the point but my car is still in the shop too...needed a catalytic convertor...

My job has not hired me back, They have no place to put me for now, My rent has not been paid in two months or more, My health has not been the very best, Now you know the total and true score… Sure, I am alive and I thank God for that everyday, But sooner or later eviction proceedings will start, And I can do nothing but be understanding therein, They can’t keep carrying me along without payment, I thoroughly don’t blame them, I am the one at fault here… My cable will be going offline too soon, I am behind with them as well, My electric too is behind, Without a job I am falling into a very dark well… So tell me again what I have to be thankful for, I am at this moment, in my life, the most poor, Three dollars to my name, I wish I could make an unemployment claim… …HOPE ALL HAVE A HAPPY TURKEY DAY…

I understand; it has to be awful, my friend. Just hang in there the best you can and keep praying. I don't believe God will hang you out to dry.

Light up a joint. Mellow out. That's what you do when you want to get well. I could do as Carol said call up time and time and time again when I didn't even have as much as you still do, Ed. I struggled through it. If Carol is offering help take it. It is no shame to accept help from a friend, its a hell of a lot better than accepting it from the government.

I remember a time I was so poor I couldn't
eat for two to three days at a time... I saved
every penny to feed my infant son... I had no
amenities of any sort, no family to rely on, no
Telly, no electricity, no refrigerator, no child support,
but... I had my baby, my health... and mysteriously
food would show up at my door... people knew I
was in despair and I would not accept a handout...
We all have friends somewhere that care for us in
our time of need... Be thankful for our friends Ed
and I will keep you in thought and prayer and would
be most happy to offer help if you would let me...

Hugs darlin'
