we are better but our truck needs help
So we are all finally nearly fully recovered from that horrible bout of flu. Thank the Lord! I didn't know what I was going to do if it persisted for longer than a week. My son still has a bit of a cough, but it's so slight it's not even worth meds. Hubby is still going through his week of flu fun, but he should be fine really soon.
Now we need to get our truck in total working order. It needs a new radiator and a new windshield AND new upper control arms. After that, we should be able to fly through inspection...as long as they don't look for high beams. Them things cost 50 dollars and after the other 400 we are putting out for the truck, I am really not beat for that 50. We also need some minor truck accessories such as the side steps. They are rusted beyond reason. One of the plastic strips is only being held on by spit. It is still a nice truck, runs great, doesn't guzzle TOO much gas. If it weren't for the running and the space, I probably would have given up on it by now LOL.
It's starting to anger me..
Does anyone know why I can't get any of the pictures I upload and post to
ACTUALLY SHOW UP??

end of summer updates
well, again I haven't written in awhile...
After I last wrote, we were getting ready to go see my mom in Jacksonville,NC where she is in a nursing home...That morning we got up to a flooded basement...so, we had to stay,, called insurance, and plumber...Both came out that day and next day...with the insurance check we got we made an extra house payment..God works in mysterious ways! now we are only one month behind...but they continue to not want to help us..just this week we were again denied for the loan mod...they told us as long as we were behind and in the hole each month we would never qualify!! What??makes no sense...we were told that was why people like us could qualify for it..job loss, behind on payments,etc...That's what Obama said!! its so frustrating!! Our second mortgage co. gave us a loan mod in 2 days!!! and we were behind with them too!! what's up with that?? who do you contact to find out if your mortgage co is jerking you around??/ they have to report to someone do they not?? sigh----
Good news is I got a job yesterday...Its part time like I wanted, no nights and no weekends..and only about 3-4 hrs a day, but every bit helps..I'm on Emergency unemployment now and my understanding is that that runs out in Oct... so we are still fighting to save our house as it stands now... oh and our first mortgage told us we needed to pare our bills down since we are in the hole every month..ok, well, we went to a credit manager and He told us there was no where to cut back!! we are paying only what we have to right now-utilities,insurance,gas,food,stuff like that that you cant pare back.. other good news, my husband and my daughter got some help to be able to go to Doctor and get meds now...Ours is no cost to go to Doctor and daughter has to pay $5 each visit.Husband is diabetic, so he got his meds for free and my daughter is on a couple of meds that are free now too..that is a big help there..and our past doctor bills were covered and paid also which was almost at $1000.00.....now just owe the dentist $500.00...dont know when that will get paid...as no extra money at all. And here in NC taxes went up!! are they trying to kill us??? Our property taxes we owe this year are almost $2000.00!!!!! and sales taxes went up too... and now Duke Energy is wanting to raise its cost??? great...people are struggling..what do they want?our blood??? Christmas this year will be bleak..I just basically want my family together.. still trying to figure that out..with property taxes due right in Jan. that kills us..Christmas isnt about getting anyway..its about Christ and his birth.. we love each other and have fun as a family..that's what matters..The Black Friday list has already come out...those that have $ to spend-have at it...we don't.... yesterday in the mail we get 3 different letters from the county ..we owe $5 per cat we now have ..taxes on our animals!! I thought we came to America to flee Taxes on everything !! and for Religious freedom!! good grief... tax this, raise this, what next???
have I said enough??? No wonder I was depressed earlier this week...
I was going to leave for the beach today with 3 good friends. they were going to take care of me so I could go.yesterday evening we get a call from one of them, my really good friend(I call her my Sis!) and her Dad was in ICU.. She had to call 911 earlier as he fell twice...so weak.... he had been sick all week but thought he was getting better... he was so dehydrated that they had to use a force bag to get the fluids in him. he took 4 bags I think..anyway, the rest of us told her we were not leaving her behind to go on to the beach..She wanted us to go on..can you believe that??She is so unselfish..I told her to shut up!! we were staying to be with her and the beach would still be there whenever...She couldn't help it that her dad got so ill...they weren't even sure he'd pull through last night! and she wanted us to go on.. No way!!my husband and I went over to hospital after she called and stayed. we took her to get something to eat. she went to be with her mom last night. her mom is diabetic and confined to the house..She has to be carried several times a week to receive dialysis. And she needs constant care..my friend is an only child so everything falls on her. She is a wife, and mother to two teens herself and works.. talk about having a full plate.. she does..
anyway I talked to her about 9 this morning and her dad stablizied during the night. they want to move him into a room out of ICU and regulate his meds. he lost so much weight...Will find out more later this afternoon..
my daughter started College in late August and she has adjusted well. Its our local community college, but she is doing great!! She has already aced a couple of tests! next fall she will transfer to UNCC. She has a new "Boy friend" lol says she doesn't want to be involved with anyone right now and they are just friends. I like him he is very nice.
Son has new girlfriend this year at Appalachian. he loves his apartment and having his own room!
I'm glad they are both settling in well.
well gotta run for now..maybe I will post again before another month rolls by! or two!

[Blog #244] --- Neutral --- [Tuesday] - Tutorials from the master!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today has been rather odd.
I was waiting for Shelly to come - laid downstairs on the sofa. She'd told me she was coming at 12, but she didn't come until almost 1.
It was weird, it's one of the rare occurances where I sit there and proper think about her and how much I love her - naturally I do, I just don't sit and think about it a lot because I'm usually too depressed to - but when she ended up coming, I proper threw myself at her. I hugged for ages then dragged her upstairs and I had my clothes off in like ten minutes flat. Proper weird.
I could tell it was making her excited though - I was in a bit of a weird mood.
After we'd had our special time together, I took the money mam had left us - and I went to ASDA. She told me to get bread and something for us both to eat. We hadn't eaten dinner, and I wasn't even that hungry, so we just bought a jar of hotdogs and some buns for our tea.
Then I got some Pepsi, cheese Doritos, Milkybar yoghurts and a bag of whirly bites. I wanted some nibbles for us to munch on while we were playing games.
We ate the hotdogs when we came back and watched Outtakes TV. We nibbled on the whirly bites and shared out the Milkyway yoghurts. It's been so long since I've had one - they're so sweet and creamy. Really moreish as well, you proper want more than just the one.
We went back upstairs and for some reason, we ended up falling asleep.
Dad woke us both up about an hour or two later - we were both cuddled up on my bed proper asleep. I don't even know why, I wasn't even tired.
I was in a weird mood after that, but Shelly did persuade me to play Guitar Hero with her.
She asked me to give her tutorials. She's struggling on level 7 of GH3 - so I went onto practice mode and loaded up the songs she was struggling with - showed her how you do it, talked her through my techniques and some hints she could use.
Oddly enough, I then was looking through my old scores for the Expert career - and I wasn't happy with some of them.
I haven't played on Expert for ages, so it was weird suddenly jumping back into it - but I managed to upgrade a 3-star ranking song to a 4-star and I upgraded a different 4-star rating to a 5-star - with 98%, no less. :D
Shelly was pleased with me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm currently playing four games, attempting to get somewhere close to finishing them off:
- Shadow The Hedgehog (GC)
- Banjo-Kazooie (N64)
- Super Paper Mario (Wii)
- Pokémon Ranger: Shadows Of Almia (DS)
Pokémon Ranger is oddly addicting...
Super Paper Mario is a pile of shite, I just want to get it finished off. I'm going for a mastered run - 100% entire. It shall be torture, but it'll look nice on my Backloggery. The two-star rating for the game will look weird amongst the 4-star rated ones though.
Sigh, Dixie is not looking forward to tomorrow.
The only good thing is that I don't have shitty English.
Seriously, when I had decent teachers, I liked it - but as soon as I got to college, I started fucking it all up. :(
