The last year we had our contruction company we were sitting on three houses and our personal mortgage when the economy began to peter out... I could go into details but needless to say things didnt end pretty. I know all about being unprepared. Know that you arent alone and find comfort in many people have been in the same position... As Karen said "it will all balance out". Faith is the key factor and I wait along side of you for that rainbow. ;)Leigh, Andrea Leigh Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627283116565322436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-88458430011678212102010-05-12T16:41:11.930-07:002010-05-12T16:41:11.930-07:00Oz,

While I didn't love my job, I'm thinking the boss (my FIL) that told me to 'just go now' is probably telling that I quit...but if that was the case, don't you think I'd be a HECK of a lot more prepared to not have income and insurance?? I'm thinking so... Then I got a flat and you are supposed to replace all 4 tires on an all wheel drive vehicle at the same time, even when your flat and other 3 have LOTS of tread...who'd have thunk that??

I would guess it doesnt have to be an old monitor and could work the same with a flat screen but the old ones are easier to come by. there should be a port in the back of the laptop with a little monitor picture - all you'd need is the proper cableBSOBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007644757298094746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-90941198677651040522010-05-11T09:32:35.120-07:002010-05-11T09:32:35.120-07:00Love your blog - looking forward to reading your p...Love your blog - looking forward to reading your posts.BSOBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007644757298094746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-85415854389411442842010-05-11T07:49:55.599-07:002010-05-11T07:49:55.599-07:00I will happily join you for that Corona. :-) Thi...I will happily join you for that Corona. :-) This economy sucks big-time, and it certainly does seem there is more outgoing and not enough incoming.

I completely agree. I think I am ...Deus Ex Machina,<br />I completely agree. I think I am through my wallowing for now. ;) And thanks for the heads up on the reader. I will look into that! What has happened is that the code keeps pulling that my Oxygen Sensor (sensor 1 bank 2) is going bad. We have replaced it three times and also replaced the engine module. We were hoping that would fix it but the light came back on again and the reader said that the sensor was bad again. The mechanic working on it now says that it is an electrical problem. As far as a mechanic I trust.... I thought the dealer we went through before was honest but unfortunately it wasnt the case as the last oxygen sensor that I bought and handed over to the Mechanic to put on the truck was a Bosch... when we replaced the SAME sensor just last week it was an old corroded AC that we removed. Unfortuantely in this neck of the woods mechanics see me walking in and seem to see ignorant sucker written on my face.... which is now why I insist on a male speaking on my behalf as far as vehicles are concerned. Very frustrating. <br />But again thanks for letting me know about the reader, I will definitely look into that. We have a 2000 Chevy Suburban as it seems (for me, anyways) once they hit the 10 year mark they seem to need a lot of work.<br />Thanks,<br />LeighLeigh, Andrea Leigh Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627283116565322436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-68481120073164591942010-05-11T03:59:49.409-07:002010-05-11T03:59:49.409-07:00It is funny how we all need to go through these ti...It is funny how we all need to go through these times. This is how we learn and grow. I really loath being in these "phases". <br /><br />I believe that we create our reality and have the power to change the reality we find ourselves in. Picture what you want and how you want them to be, then make it happen.<br /><br />By the way, depending on the year of your vehicle, all cars have an OBD port that allows you to read and reset diagnostic codes. The check engine light is simply an indication that there is a code. Around here, one can buy a reader for about $50 and then diagnose the problem. I understand that you don't have the money now, but .... I got sick of paying $75 "to hook it up to diagnostics" with 5 minutes worth of effort and no work done. Then, you have the option of doing the work yourself, if you have the time and tools, or bringing it to someone local that you trust.Deus Ex Machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425336387322313716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-81400882550942199822010-05-10T16:49:19.578-07:002010-05-10T16:49:19.578-07:00I hate to hear such luck has fell upon you as well...I hate to hear such luck has fell upon you as well but do just as I do and find comfort in the fact you are not alone. :) Hmmmm, maybe that is where that saying "misery loves company" comes from? Either way I am going to wallow in self pity for a while then I intend on following some great advice I once heard... I think it went something like, "when life hands you lemons... toss em out grab a lime and drink a Corona"??? I think thats how it went anyways!? ;)Leigh, Andrea Leigh Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627283116565322436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-9141700626934255082010-05-10T15:09:48.513-07:002010-05-10T15:09:48.513-07:00Oh, it is SO not you. Or perhaps it is just you A...Oh, it is SO not you. Or perhaps it is just you AND I? I am right there with you. I can change the specifics - I don't own a truck, for example, but am sick to death of paying for repairs and gas for the Jeep I own, while still paying exhorbitant car payments on it, too. My vet bills, since January, have been ridiculous - truly (a dog with a bone stuck around her jaw? A cat who needed 4 teeth pulled? A spay - ok, THAT one was necessary, but the rest? Unexpected, and no money laid aside for), two college tuitions to pay which means the cable bill didn't, which means the electric was turned off overnight because we forgot that one, etc. etc. My laptop DIED, my husband's OLD laptop that I was then using died, the home desktop burned, and my daughter brought MY camera home from a concert with the lense sticking out, and the screen black. "I don't know what happened mom, it just quit working." <br />Oh, I hear you. And I sympathize. Yes, I'm fortunate, and blessed beyond measure in so many ways - as I know you are too. But sometimes, sometimes, I just wish it would rain someplace else when I feel already soaked through. Sigh. Yes, the sun will come out tomorrow, but today, dammit, it's raining!Dog Hair in my Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905926891842422113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-56037020337836108732010-05-10T11:59:11.930-07:002010-05-10T11:59:11.930-07:00John,

You are very true in your words... how would I have ever truely been able to appreciate sweetness of this life if I had never tasted the bitter. I will be fine... and there is always good out of every bad, just have to let go of certain things in order to embrace the greatness of new things.

Chin up me dear, all things pass and come around, it's just the circle that we all live in, anyway if you never felt crappy then how'd you know when things are good?
