Please excuse my absence which happened rather unexpectedly.
I am trying now to get to my 87 emails, 45 private messages and getting the photo's loaded up. Those who have sent me a private message and gotten no response from me, I will try to get to all of them today. I hope you don't think I was ignoring you!
March has already been a hellish month!
First, my dinky little phone bill of $40 lead to them shutting me off. I go out to jump in my car to run to town (20 miles) to pay it and my battery was (is) dead. I go to open the hood and broke the bloody hood latch!!!!!! I now have a car with a dead battery but can not replace the battery as the fricken hood latch is broken. (The cable line.)
Big solution..........I borrow my ex husbands crummy old van to drive to town to take care of that phone bill and run out of gas!! First time I've run out of gas in probably 40 years. It seems he forgot to tell me the gas gauge does not work. grrrrrrrrr
Great. Since I then had to buy gas, that left me short money to pay for the phone bill + their exuberance restoration fees. That means I had to wait for my social check to come in. And now would you just believe it, for the first time in 7 years my check is late. It doesn't come the 3rd, 4th, 5th!
To put an end to this story, I finally get my check, drive to town in his van again, send the phone company $90. Then wait and wait some more. Phone still was not on. I borrow the neighbors phone and call them again. Now they want another $51. Back to town again to get another money gram to pay them again.
Now the S.O.B's have gotten $145 + the cost of two money grams totaling $17 more.
They told me this morning my phone would not be back on for another 3-5 days but guess they decided to finally cut me a break because here I am!
I have no idea of what I will do about my car!!!
I wish to thank the fine staff here for covering for me and taking care of the contests in my absense. I was "very" worried but knew I had nothing to worry about with this group backing me up. I also knew if any of them messed up that you fine members would be right there to set them straight!
I really missed all of you a lot!
